No pandemic, rain or wind could stop loyal barbecue fans from making it to Brisket King® NYC 2021. Our generous hosts Pig Beach set the scene for the meaty evening event. For the second year in a row, Staten Island’s Juicy Lucy BBQ took home the top title. Owner Richie Holmes‘s brisket also won the fan favorite award at the event.

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.

Introducing Sauce King NYC™

By

After 10 years hosting food festivals and barbecue events like Brisket King NYC, Rib King NYC, Bowl of ‘Zole, and Pig Island NYC, Food Karma is excited to launch Sauce King NYC™.

Sauce King NYC™ will determine the best barbecue sauces, hot sauces, rubs, marinades and more. A panel of expert judges from the NYC food, chef, and media community will taste each sauce, and select exclusive winners in each category who stand out for their bold flavors, excellent ingredients, and delicious taste.

This is not your average sauce competition. It’s not about finding the hottest sauce that will blow your head off. Sauce King™ is about showcasing the wide range of top quality, all natural, barbecue sauces, hot sauces, and beyond that are perfect for backyard barbecue, grilling, and home cooking. We will be accepting a wide range of submissions – with the opportunity for people to submit their own categories.

Become the Sauce King when you enter your BBQ sauce, hot sauce, condiment, marinade and more at saucekingnyc.com and read more about the innovative virtual competition in NYC BBQ.
