What We Do
Welcome to Badge and Bites – your front-row seat to the best local bites, as recommended by the heroes who serve your community. We hit the streets with police, firefighters, paramedics, to spotlight the top food and drink spots in their hometowns. Whether it’s a firehouse favorite, a team-dinner tradition, or an off‑duty craving fix, our on-location reviews give outsiders and visitors an authentic taste of what makes each place special. Think of it as a neighborhood tour led by the people you trust most—where every recommendation comes with real-world credibility and hometown pride.
“I’ve always believed that a community is defined by its people—and its food. On this show, we don’t just eat; we celebrate the hidden gems that fuel us after long shifts.
