WE ARE THE NJ STATE BBQ CHAMPIONS...AGAIN! Check out the below videos highlighting our BIG WIN.
Jersey teams dominate local barbeque competition
Jersey teams dominated the recent Que by the Sea cooking contest, which challenged teams to smoke and grill the best chicken, ribs and brisket. Sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, a collective of amateur and professional outdoor chefs, the competition had nearly 50 official eaters to evaluate each dish. Meat was smoked overnight in a Seaside Heights municipal parking lot. The grand champ of the event was the Brielle-based Fat Angel team, run by a husband and wife who also operate a catering company, Local Smoke. (Video by Lisa Rose/The Star-Ledger)
Isn't it Grand?
Our BBQ buddy, Clint, captured the moment on his blog, smokeindaeye.com.

Almost immediately after Fat Angel BBQ claimed first place for its Texas-style brisket at the National BBQ Festival in Douglas, Ga., earlier this year, the muttering started.
"Did y’all hear that Jersey won for brisket?" one Lone Star pitmaster said to another, the "Jersey" spit out in that contemptuous tone typically reserved for, well, how people usually talk about New Jersey. More >>
