The winning dish.

Downtown firehouse chefs battled restaurant chefs Wednesday night at the Tribeca Rooftop for the third annual Tribeca Cookoff, a fundraiser organized by the Tribeca Organization, a post-9/11 neighborhood group. Firefighter Michael Tansey’s flank steak stuffed with spinach, proscuitto and portobello mushroom with potatoes, vegetables and drizzled fried onions took the contest’s top prize.

There he is Mr. Tribeca Cookoff…. Michael Tansey, who usually cooks for Engine 28 and Ladder 11, sports one of the judge’s crowns, that of Kandice Pelletier, the reigning Miss Manhattan.
