Congrats to our FMBA 21 Cooking Team at the NJ FMBA Cooked and Corked event held annually at the Pines Manor in Edison NJ. FMBA 21 members Bob Hoogmoed III, Michael Andrade, Michael Cromey, and Sal Guardascione placed third place for the firehouse category judges choice. Our team made a braised beef short rib with home made potato gnocchi embedded in roasted red pepper and basil ricotta topped with parmesan crème and infused with olive oils finished with a Locatelli parmesan.
