NYC Dining: Big Apple Barbecue Block Party 2006

June 11, 2006

The BABBP has been truly awe inspiring (Click for Flickr slide show). It’s amazing how New Yorkers can get together peacefully for an event that unites them in the name of truly mind-blowingly-good food. Normally to be able to sample the types of barbecue at this event, you’d have to travel across the entire country, but the block party allows you to sample them all in one weekend. I think that’s pretty incredible.

I’ve prepared a highlights video reel that I’ve uploaded to Google (click) as well as a complete pitmaster podcasts roundup:
