MEN'S HEALTH - "GUY GOURMET" FEATURE

MEN'S HEALTH HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A MINUTE, AS IN, ALMOST 30 YEARS.  I STILL REMEMBER SITTING IN MY PARENT'S UNINSULATED BARE BONES ATTIC "GYM" AS A TEENAGER, READING THE LATEST ISSUE WHILE WAITING FOR MY DAD TO FINISH HIS SET ON THE BENCH, JOCK JAMS BLASTING IN THE BACKGROUND ON REPEAT.  THE HEAT OF SUMMER AND COLD OF WINTER NEVER STOPPED US, IT BUILT CHARACTER I GUESS, AND THOSE MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINES HELPED US GET THROUGH THOSE DAYS ONE WORKOUT AT A TIME.  FAST FORWARD 15 YEARS AND I NOW HAVE A RECIPE FEATURED ON THEIR FOOD BLOG, GUY GOURMET.  CAN YOU SAY CRAZY!

Men's Health has evolved over the years to not only focus on men's health but lifestyle topics such as fitness, fashion and nutrition.  Their food blog Guy Gourmet is full of great tips and recipes on everything from the "Best Way to Cook a Tuna Steak" to "The Absolute Best Beer to Drink this Spring".  And now you can find the recipe for my firehouse-famous Fork and Hose Co. Fries!

One night at the Harrison Fire Department in New York, career firefighter A.J. Fusco needed to whip up a quick side for dinner, and he wanted it to be healthier than the usual French fry. So he switched in some sweet potatoes, added a dash of chili powder, coated everything in maple syrup, and—voila—a firehouse favorite was born.
