“At Wednesday night's Brisket King NYC event, there was no way to guess who would ultimately win the crown. Held at Pig Beach Queens, 20+ chefs and pitmasters served up outstanding brisket dishes on a perfect spring night to hundreds of hungry guests.

Pitmaster Anthony Scerri of Brooklyn-based Smoke Sweats BBQ was ultimately crowned the new Brisket King of NYC. Scerri served up two excellent dishes. One was a "Limp Brisket," a Wagyu brisket that was cold-smoked for 6 hours in almond wood before a 15-hour cook using post oak wood. The second was "BBQ Cereal," made with chopped Wagyu brisket over cornbread cream, corn, scallions, sweet soy jalapenos, and Achilles Heat smoked chili crisp. Judges and attendees alike were impressed with the creativity and quality of the dishes.”
