Greetings from the Monterey Fire Company!

It has been an interesting year no doubt. Due to an overwhelming demand, we have decided to hold the Steak Roast this year but, there will be major differences due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here you will find a description of what to expect regarding all things Steak Roast. First things first, we at the Monterey Fire Company want to thank everyone for your confidence and support year after year. We would not be here if it were not for you. Please check our website and Facebook page the day of for last minute changes and directions: www.montereyfire.org .

Menu:

The menu is changed slightly to accommodate take-out dining. We will be serving steak as usual. All steaks will be served rare to medium rare. Have your grill ready to finish them off when you arrive home if you want your steak cooked further. Instead of swordfish, we will be serving shrimp kabobs. The shrimp dinner will consist a shrimp skewer and a vegetable skewer (peppers, onions and cherry tomatoes). As in the past, we will be serving baked potatoes, corn on the cob and a garden salad. Hamburger and hot-dog options as well as a children’s meal option will available. Dessert will be cookies and brownies. We will NOT be serving ice cream.

Tickets:

All tickets are $35.00 each and are available in advance only, and only from our website. Online Tickets will become available soon! On the website, you will be allowed to choose an arrival time. This will be similar to a restaurant seating or reservation time and we ask you to please be on time.

What to bring:

We suggest that you bring a cooler for your desserts and drinks and a second cooler or a box and blanket to keep your food warm.

Arrival:

All arrivals will go into a ‘staging area’ whose location will be posted on our website as we get closer to the Steak Roast day. Do not come to the fire station before going into the designated staging area. We will have members sorting traffic in a staging area and directing traffic at the appropriate times into the serving lanes. We will need all of our space at the fire station for this and as such, there will be no on-site parking. Please stay in your car. During the day of the Steak Roast, we will be conducting updates of serving times via our website and Facebook.

Serving:

There will be no on-site dining and all dinners will be take-out and served to you curb-side on Fox Hill Road (next to the fire station). As there will be no bar, drinks will also be served take-out in closed containers and must be consumed at home. You will be served by a masked/gloved firefighter and we will ask you to please stay in your vehicle and please, WEAR YOUR MASK. IMPORTANT: group orders will be served into a single vehicle as a group. If you make a group order make sure you have enough room in your vehicle for the entire group order.

Cook it yourself option:

If you prefer, you may pickup uncooked dinners between noon and 3 pm on the day of and cook them at home at your convenience. We ask you to adhere to all of the precautions described above.

In conclusion:

This is completely new to us and we are doing some careful planning so that we have a smooth running Steak Roast, and with your help, we believe it will be. We like doing it and are grateful for your support and enthusiasm. We look forward to seeing you.
