During his time in the U.S. Navy, Firehouse Chefs founder Eddie Sell acquired a talent in the kitchen. After graduating from the U.S. Navy Culinary Program he served as the admiral’s personal chef – a tremendous honor. After leaving the Navy, Eddie joined the fire service. Currently, Eddie is a fire captain and paramedic in Long Beach, California. The fusion of Eddie’s two passions – food and firefighting – led to the founding of Firehouse Chefs LLC and its signature restaurant Firehouse Chefs Food + Drink. In addition to his talent in the kitchen, Eddie and Firehouse Chefs LLC have also created a line of spices and other food products as well as catering, fitness/wellness and media divisions. Eddie's love for cooking has continued throughout his career as a firefighter. Eddie's unique take on food is inspired by his Latin culture and his love for creating flavor-packed recipes that heat up ordinary dishes. Firehouse Chefs LLC, Firehouse Chefs Food + Drink and the other firehouse-inspired projects are guided by a principle of community-building and community support. Firehouse Chefs is not just a food company. Firehouse Chefs is a movement.
