The DMV Kosher BBQ Brisket Competition is here to show that real BBQ-smoked meat, cooked slowly at low temperatures, over wood and charcoal, is not only fully possible within the bounds of Kashrut, but should be the norm at EVERY BBQ meal and event. This competition brings together skilled pitmasters from our own communities and beyond, curious food lovers and kosher-keeping folks to push our culinary expectations to a higher level.
