Fire chief wins prize for stew

Boston Fire Chief Nino Tramantozzi, a 20-year veteran with the fire department, won first prize for his veal stew, in a contest of original recipes using Firehouse Jubilee tomato cocktail.

The tomato cocktail was originated 40 years ago by Tom Lally of West Redding, conn., a volunteer firefighter and his wife Helen.

The contest promoted the re-introduction of the product, now manufactured by Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc.

The firemen came up with a wide range of dishes for the contest, ranging from instant tomato soup, baked bluefish, and spiced rice, to salad and barbecued spareribs.
