This past Saturday, hundreds of barbecue fans gathered at Industry City in Brooklyn for Rib King NYC to try great smoked meats from 15+ pitmasters and to see who would be crowned as the next “king.”
Pitmaster Jose Perez from Connecticut-based Bear’s Smokehouse was crowned the winner, with amazing smoked pork ribs that had a perfect balance of flavors and were topped with chicharron dust to give them extra texture.
“As the head judge, I can say it was a hard-yet-easy decision,” Rib King Judge Adam Poch wrote about the ribs from Bear’s. “[This] rib had it all. Good cook, great accompanying sauce, and texture with the beautiful (and tasty) addition of chicharrones. Thank you for making a perfect rib!”
