Forest Hills area to welcome brisket throwdown

This April, Forest Hills area chefs will be going head to head in a competition that will crown the NYC Brisket King.

The annual Brisket King NYC 2025 will put the skills of area culinary artists front and center, and this will be the 13th year in which it has taken place. At least 20 competitors are on the roster.

Ticketholders will be invited to enjoy samples of each of the meats while sipping on craft beer, spirits, wines, and hard cider. They can vote for their top pick in the People’s Choice category, and they are welcome to be on hand for the crowning. While they take part in the festivities, the attendees will be showing some love to Friends of Firefighters, which will be this year's charity of choice. Group packages, general admission, and VIP tickets have been made available for the activity.

An event that showcases the culinary skills of the competitors may attract a large crowd ready to cheer them on. A banner printing company can craft decor for a special occasion as well as custom-designed awards to present to the winners.

The 2025 Brisket King NYC will welcome locals and visitors alike on Wednesday, April 23. Pig Beach BBQ in Queens is set to host the celebration, and discounted general admission passes will be available until March 30.
