SMOKE@ICC: Barbecue, Beer, and Live Music
For one day only, the country's top pit masters and chefs came together in a head-to-head, smoker-to-smoke barbecue battle at the 1st Annual StarChefs.com SMOKE@ICC, presented by Chung Jung One. Kicking off the 8th Annual StarChefs.com International Chefs Congress, ten competing teams smoked meats for revelers and chefs—and most importantly, some of America's foremost barbecue experts, including Dave Anderson(Famous Daves), Kenny Callaghan (Blue Smoke), Andy Husbands (Temont 647), Brad Orrison (The Shed), and Steven Raichlen (Primal Grill).
Matt and Ted Lee emceed the event, as the judges ranked dishes for taste, tenderness, presentation, and creativity, in three categories: Regional American, New World, and Asian. And guests voted for the People's Choice Award, featuring the teams' best Australian Beef Brisket dishes. Ultimately, there could only be one Grand Champion: Team Carillon from Austin, Texas. The team took home an all-expenses paid trip to Korea, presented by Chung Jung One, as well as a MLR 150 competition-level smoker and a chance to compete at the World Food Championships in Las Vegas, courtesy of Southern Pride.
