A Tough Job for the Judges

As a judge, Anthony Ramirez II had the nearly impossible task of sampling and scoring each incredible entry. From sweet and smoky glazes to perfectly charred dry rubs, every competitor brought next-level BBQ skills to the table.

A huge congratulations to Empire BBQ for taking home the Rib King NYC title, and major respect to all the competitors who showcased their unique and unforgettable flavors.
