Now in its 13th year, Brisket King NYC returns on Wednesday, April 23 at Pig Beach, bringing together more than 20 chefs and restaurants serving up everything from classic Texas-style low-and-slow brisket to favorites found in Jewish delis, Thai kitchens, Caribbean jerk stands, and Mexican barbacoa traditions.
This year's lineup features returning champions and first-timers competing for the title of Brisket King, including reigning champion Leland Avellino of Avellino Family Barbecue as well as Anthony Scerri of Smoke Sweats, Darlene Lawrence of Sands Jerk Hut, Darius Burke of Takeover Barbecue and more. Every ticket includes all-access to brisket and drinks, including New York-focused spirits from Brooklyn Gin, Fort Hamilton Distillery and The New York Distilling Company.
