This famous "Firehouse Chowder" was a huge fund raising recipe used by Buffalo area fire departments. Although this is one of my all time favorite dishes, I rarely made it myself because my original recipe made over 30 quarts (typically cooked over a 50 gallon drum fire) and took more than 8-10 hours to complete! After 10 years, and a lot of trial and error, I've come up with this scaled down version that I call Fast Fireman's Chowder. It can be made in a 6-8 quart pressure cooker in less than 45 minutes. Although I still enjoy holding the occasional all day chowder cookout, this version makes sane proportions for home use:-)
