"Four former Brisket King NYC champions face off at Pig Beach BBQ in Astoria on April 29, 2026.

"There has never been a Brisket King NYC quite like this one.

"When the 14th annual edition of the beloved all-inclusive brisket festival takes over Pig Beach BBQ in Astoria, Queens, on Wednesday, April 29, it will do so with an unprecedented four former Brisket King NYC champions in the field simultaneously, all fighting for the same crown. For longtime followers of this event, that alone makes 2026 a genuinely historic occasion."

Respect to a friend.
@the_real_richie_holmes is the only 2 time winner of our @brisketkingnyc , winning both 2019 and 2021. He also won @ribkingnyc 1x in 2021, and came out to support us several times at @pigislandnyc when we moved in 2020 to @snugharborccbg on Staten Island. 
He was proud of his achievements as Juicy Lucy BBQ and we were lucky to have worked so closely with him. 
Condolences to his family and friends.
He was a special part of our @foodkarmanyc bbq events crew. 

Prayers 🙏 ♥

Really grateful to have seen Achilles Heat® Smoked Chili Crisp become part of so many creative and award-winning dishes across the Food Karma Projects circuit over the past year. 🌶🏆

Would love to collaborate with more chefs and pitmasters on future competition dishes, pop-ups, and specials.

One of the most exciting parts of building this brand has been watching chefs take Achilles Heat® in completely different creative directions, from championship barbecue dishes to sandwiches, sauces, and beyond, while still bringing smoky depth, texture, and layered flavor to the final plate.

Achilles Heat® Smoked Chili Crisp has now been featured in multiple award-winning competition dishes across the Food Karma Projects circuit:

🏆 Brisket King NYC 2025 
Grand Champion, Anthony Scerri / @smoke_sweats 
Smoke Sweats x New School x Achilles Heat

🥈 Rib King NYC 2025 
Runner-Up, Anthony Scerri / @smoke_sweats 
Smoke Sweats x Achilles Heat

🏆 Sauce King NYC 2025 
Achilles Heat® Smoked Chili Crisp named “Best New Sauce”

🥈 Brisket King NYC 2026 
Runner-Up, Nick Hancock / @okcharleys 
OK Charley’s x Achilles Heat

Very grateful to all the chefs, collaborators, organizers, and customers who’ve supported Achilles Heat® along the way.

Always excited to see where chefs take the product next, whether that’s barbecue, sandwiches, seafood, pizza, schmears, or something completely unexpected. If you’re interested in collaborating, definitely feel free to reach out. 🔥
