Long-Island-Kosher-BBQ-Championship-Food-Festival

After judging last year’s event, I’m quite excited to attend (and judge) this year’s Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship – which is more like a food festival for meat lovers. 1 to 2 dozen teams battle it out by preparing 3 meat dishes for us judges, which is a longer affair than you’d think.

The great part about this event is that you don’t need to be a judge to enjoy the event or the food. This year, in addition to all the teams grilling it up, there will be a food festival, with booths of kosher products to try, as well as a few eating contests, and games / rides for the kids to enjoy as well.

Attending the event is Free. Parking is Free. RSVP by clicking here.

Oh, and to top it all off, any money raised at the event via purchases, sponsorships, and donations, is donated to local Long Island food banks and organizations feeding the hungry and poor. A worthy cause indeed.

Scroll down for the location info.

Me, enjoying the judging at last year’s event.

    I believe, I could be wrong, Temple Beth Torah is a Reform congregation. Will there be any sort of Hasgocha, and if so under who’s auspices?

    • Lisa, the shul is not Orthodox, correct, but the event is completely kosher. They describe how they maintain kashrut at the event in full here: http://likosherbbq.org/remaining-kosher/

      I can tell you that no participating team can bring in outside food. All food is purchased by the event / mashgiach for the teams to use and the grills are provided to them. Kof-K supervision.

        Perfect! Chof k and rabbi marmormorstein are wholly (holy ;) ) acceptable to me. Now lets see if I can convince my husband to go.

  • Alison @ Alibabka

    I’ll be there!

  • Once again, another kosher event NOT happening in Miami. Jealous.

  • Right near where I grew up. Wish I could attend but have birthday plans that day elsewhere. Have fun.

    It isn’t usually that a piece of writing engages ME enough to become engrossed in its data.

  • Finding smart data on this subject that’s each literate and straightforward to understand could be a development.

  • If I may offer you a prize for your article it might be an enormous financial award. you are not solely a precocious author, you are intelligent.

  • The great part about this event is that you don’t need to be a judge to enjoy the event or the food.
