Queens man stabs older brother to death in food fight

A knife-wielding hothead stabbed his older brother to death in Far Rockaway this morning after a fight over food, witnesses and authorities said.

Jose Romero, 27, and his 23-year-old brother got in a heated argument yesterday on Beach 17th Street near the boardwalk around 2 a.m., police said.

The two had spent all day yesterday drinking at a funeral, sources said.
