A retired FDNY firefighter whose culinary skills brought him TV accolades as the beloved “Firehouse Chef” has died, the latest victim of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In his 18-year career with the city Fire Department, Keith Young made a name for himself in the kitchen, winning several TV cooking challenges, tangling with celebrity chef Bobby Flay, and writing his own recipe book.
On Saturday, he lost his battle with a World Trade Center-related illness, an FDNY spokesman confirmed.
Young, 53, joined the FDNY in November 1998 and retired in September 2016.
