The Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship brings an iconic aspect of American culture – team barbecue competition – to Long Island’s Jewish community. This competition, which is for both barbecue enthusiasts as well as casual backyard grillers, is sanctioned by the World Kosher BBQ Championship in Memphis, Tennessee and hosted by Temple Beth Torah in Westbury, New York.

Just like the first Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship, this event will be filled with great food, family fun and old-fashioned hospitality. With events ranging from a pickle-eating contest to a basketball skills tournament to an array of live entertainment and, finally, to a Kids play zone filled with various children’s activities, there is plenty for our guests to experience and enjoy.

Admission and Parking are free, however we do ask, if possible, that you pre-register so as to make your arrival seamless.

Part of the proceeds from this event go to five hunger charities on Long Island working to alleviate hunger.

Trophies will be awarded to the first, second and third place winners in the following categories: Best Brisket, Best Ribs, Best Chicken, Best Beans, Most Original Team Name and Best Booth Decoration. Medals will be given to the fourth, fifth and sixth place winners in all of the above categories.

In 2012, 0ver 2,500 guests, sponsors, participants and teams traveled from near and far – Miami, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Yonkers, and all across Long Island – to make the first annual Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship a success, and we cannot wait for you to experience the second annual Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship!
