Brooklyn Heights Hicks Street Engine 224 emerges winner of Firefighter Food Face-Off
The battle over which team of firefighters could tame the flames of the grill the best resulted in one team taking home the trophy: Brooklyn Heights Hicks Street, Engine 224.
The guys from Engine 224 won the trophy, plus a $500 gift card to Fairway Market, bragging rights, and a donation of one night of Fairway sales to the charity of its choice. However, all four teams — plus the enthusiastic crowd of taste testers — were also the winners of the Third Annual Fairway Firefighters Food Face-Off, held July 31 at Fairway’s Red Hook store.
The competition saw four local Brooklyn fire companies face-off over who could use preserved lemons — the secret ingredient — in the most delicious and original way.
