It's back. It's BBQ. It's boozy. It's The 2024 Brisket King Food & Drink Festival! On a gorgeous spring evening, succumb to the tantalizing temptations of juicy meats, free-flowing cocktails, beers, and more, soaking in the warm feels at the indoor/outdoor hotspot, Pig Beach BBQ. Here, some of the most talented chefs & pitmasters will whip up drool-worthy creations starting at 6:00pm on Wednesday April 23, 2025!
Grab your $49 GA Ticket (a $71 Value) that gets you admission to this succulent spectacular, treating your taste buds to a jaw-dropping 3 Hours Of Delicious Brisket Dishes made by 20+ Top Chefs & Pitmasters from 6:00pm-9:00pm, as well as a 3 Hour Open Bar Featuring Cocktails, Beers, & Ciders from 6:00pm-9:00pm. Wow, indeed!
Talk about a superstar lineup! Some of the country's most talented top chefs & pitmasters are poised to please your palate in every way, with The New York Times-applauded Morgan's Brooklyn Barbecue on deck, not to mention Leland Avellino of Avellino Family Barbecue, the 2024 Brisket King champ, who returns to defend his title against tough competitors, including Anthony Scerri of Smoke Sweats (2024 Brisket King Runner Up).
Let succulent, melt-in-your-mouth eats put you into a state of meaty bliss, pairing each mouthful with creative cocktails, bubbly brews, luscious wine, & crisp ciders. Big names like Brooklyn Gin, Fort Hamilton Distillery, Granja Nómada Mezcal, Piñaq, Round Table Brewery, and so many more will pour their best & most delish expressions to balance all that barbecue goodness.
In addition to the carnivorous sensations, heat things up with a few hot sauce tastings from Coney Island Saucery, and satisfy your sweet tooth via dessert to the tune of cakes by Mums Kitchen, boozy ice cream by Tipsy Scoop, gelato by Aureli, and then some.
The sunset will glow as the city lights up, so come hungry, devour, drink up, get to know these talented chefs & pitmasters, and watch as the next Best Brisket in NYC award is announced.
It's scrumptious history in the making!
The 2025 Brisket King Food & Drink Festival is on its way, so get ready to sink your teeth into a smoky, tender, and downright mouthwatering celebration of the best BBQ in town. Guaranteed to sell out faster than a grill's first sizzle, you could find yourself basking in the sunset's glow, drink in hand, perfectly balanced by every bite of juicy, fall-apart brisket. Drooling yet?
Legends of the kitchen & the grill will go toe to toe, battling it out for the coveted title of Best Brisket in NYC. Your taste buds are in for a wild ride as you dive into an unforgettable array of beef brisket, each plate a masterpiece of smoke, spice, and bold flavors. Whether they're staying true to tradition or flipping the script with innovative new techniques, each bite will have you swooning.
Food Karma Projects is behind the magic, and if you've been lucky enough to attend their past events - Charcuterie Masters, CiderFeast, Rib King, Pig Island - you know you're in for a feast of epic proportions. But this isn't just about the meat! We're talking hot sauces, sides that'll make you weak in the knees, decadent desserts such as cakes by Mums Kitchen, boozy ice cream by Tipsy Scoop, gelato by Aurelia, and more!
The chefs and pitmasters on the lineup? Pure BBQ royalty. Get ready for Kevin Roth of La Estación in Puerto Rico, winner of the Brisket King NYC People's Choice Award, Vincent Mangual of Empire BBQ (Rib King 2024 champ), and Oak Marprasert of Kam Rai Thai (Pig Island 2024 Best in Show), just to name a few. These BBQ virtuosos are here to prove that when you bring together beef, fire, and a whole lot of passion, magic happens.
And don't even get us started on the drinks! They've got liquid loveliness from New York Distilling Company, Uptown Vodka, Bubba's Whiskey by Michter's, Zumbador Tequila, Round Table Brewery, and more. Whether you're downing a chilled cocktail or sipping on craft beer, there's no shortage of liquid bliss to pair with that glorious BBQ.
