Like the other firefighters who’ve made it to the final round of the Daily News’ first 
FDNY Five Alarm Cook Off, sponsored by the Municipal Credit Union and Best Buy, Jimmy Lowe has been taking a ribbing from his crew, Bronx Rescue 3 in the Tremont neighborhood.
It all stems from Lowe’s impressive knife skills: Not only can he deftly butterfly the flank steak for his winning mushroom-and-bacon-stuffed pinwheels in seconds, the 18-year FDNY veteran can carve cucumbers and tomatoes into rosettes to garnish his already exceptional plates. That’s a trick that’ll surely wow celeb chef Rachael Ray, who will host the finals on her morning show this Friday.
Jimmy Lowe prepares his specialty steak dinner for his fellow firefighters in the Bronx.

“The whole department was calling up,” says company Captain Jim Ellson, “asking, ‘is his locker painted pink yet?’ ”
