Three letters spell summer: BBQ. And while feasting on the eats prepared by your personal favorite grill master—like that uncle, cousin, or friend’s mom who burns at cookouts— is always awesome, festivals such as the Big Apple Barbecue give folks an excuse to go full Clump for a day.
Why? ‘Cause the only thing better than downing food from your loved ones who like to chef it up is tasting grub made by pros who’ve taken a vow to ensure anything that touches their grills leaves customers wobbling out and hungry for more.
