4th Annual Long Island Grill Kings BBQ Cook-Off

Grill Kings Inc., headquartered in Long Island was established to create a wide variety of high-quality BBQ events. As long time residents of Long Island and devoted grillers ourselves we feel that over the past four years Long Island has proven to be home to many of America’s BBQ enthusiasts.

Now entering into our fourth event, Grill Kings is proud to see how BBQ has staked its claim here on Long Island. Over the years we have seen many Long Island BBQ restaurants open up and become quite successful introducing Long Islanders to the great taste of southern BBQ, a dish that was once unattainable without traveling long distances.

Speaking of long distances our 2005 Champion and Grill King, Ray Lampe (aka DR. BBQ) will be returning from Lakeland Florida to defend his title. We are looking forward to this years event with great enthusiasm as we are pleased to announce that this years event will offer not only the competition, but both live entertainment as well as a bevy of BBQ Vendors offering up some of Long Island’s best BBQ, BBQ Sauces and Grilling Accessories!!

Below is a breakdown of event information. We look forward to seeing you in July!
