You Don’t Want To Miss Brisket King 2020, NYC BBQ

Why Brisket King Is So Important to NYC’S BBQ Scene, NYC BBQ 

A special shout out to Billy Durney of Hometown BBQ, the original Brisket King in 2015. Thank you for all your support for our event over the last decade.

The post Brisket King 2021 first appeared on Brisket King.

Second place went to James Cruse who came all the way from Central City Barbecue in New Orleans and served excellent brisket with Cajun dirty rice. Long time competitor Robert Austin Cho of Kimchi Smoke served up a brisket and donut sandwiched dubbed the “Chonut” that earned him the award for Most Creative Combo.

Food Karma event mainstay Chef Jesse Jones won the Unsung Hero award for his brisket served with his mother’s biscuits. Rounding out the winners, Leland Avellino of Avellino Family Barbecue took home a year’s worth of Cabot Cheese for his Texas-style brisket.

Other dishes included brisket tacos with birria consome from Carlito’s Tacos, brisket with pastrami and brisket sausage from Ed Randolph of Handsome Devil, confit brisket from Pulkie’s and a classic version served with white bread from Hill Country BBQ.
