You could call the 2015 edition of Iron City Chef “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” The Vestavia Hills Rotary Club’s annual fundraiser usually pits four professional chefs against each other in a hotly contested cooking competition. This year , the contestants don’t work in restaurants, but at fire stations. Iron City Chef: Firehouse Edition has four Over the Mountain firefighters hoping they finish the July 18 event in a blaze of glory . Competing will be Lee Currie from Mountain Brook, Alexander Glover from Homewood, Edward Pegues from Hoover and Trey VanHooser from Vestavia Hills.
