From a couple months back, here’s a behind the scenes video from the Big Apple BBQ Block Party, courtesy of Nick Solares and Eater.
The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party came to New York on June 13 and 14 for its thirteenth annual festival. And while 140,000 attendees showed up to eat some of the best barbecue from across the country, when you’re professional carnivore Nick Solares, you beat the crowds — and head over the day before.
