Get ready to sink your teeth into some smokin' meat at Pig Beach BBQ in Queens on Saturday, April 29. This is no ordinary BBQ. Dozens of nationally recognized pitmasters from all over the country are reuniting for the Third Annual Jeff Michner BBQ Benefit, hosted by none other than Food Network's Michael Symon himself.
This all-day "swine around" benefit features James Beard Award-winning chef Rodney Scott, Bill Durney from Hometown BBQ, Tuffy Stone from Cool Smoke BBQ, Chris Lilly from Big Bob Gibson BBQ, Amy Mills from 17th Street BBQ and more. There will be 25 indoor and outdoor food stations, specialty cocktails, live music performances and even an onstage rib-eating contest.
The event is hosted in memory of Pig Beach Executive Chef Jeff Michner, who died in 2018 at age 36. Proceeds from the event benefit the Jeff Michner Foundation to support his family and provide scholarships to students.
