Clifton FMBA 21 Showcases Culinary Skills at Cooked & Uncorked 2025

Posted on By Clifton FMBA 21



On February 24, 2025, four members of Clifton FMBA 21 put their cooking talents to the test at the annual State FMBA Cooked & Uncorked Event at Pines Manor in Edison, NJ. Representing Clifton were Michael Andrade, Salvatore Guardascione, Michael Cromey, and Tyler Czupak, who served up a delicious brisket with cornbread and a spiced BBQ sauce.

This highly anticipated event brings together firefighters from across New Jersey to showcase their culinary skills while supporting the NJ FMBA Foundation and the Burn Center at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. Clifton’s team demonstrated both their teamwork and passion for great food, making their department proud.

Congratulations to our Clifton FMBA 21 members for their participation and dedication!
