Smoke Sweats BBQ Pop-up is a shaking up the definition of NYC BBQ

Smoke Sweats BBQ

”The Gary Vee of Barbecue” chef Anthony Scerri, a.k.a Smoke Sweats, is one of the top pitmasters in NYC. A student of the game with a passion for learning to match, he spends his time outside of being a full-time graphic designer studying and giving press to other pitmasters in NYC and beyond. Smoke Sweats pop-ups are elusive, but always worth the hustle to attend. Where else would you be able to lick Maltese-influenced smoked duck leg confit with a maple-date BBQ sauce off the bone, indulge in the wonders of a mass-produced snack-turned gourmet with his cheetoh pie, and award-winning ribs with a rub and sauce infused with coffee from Ethiopia?

Founder Anthony Scerri is also an 8it Hidden Gem Hunter, dropping his favorite dishes eat when he’s not popping up. So the next time you’re hungry and there isn’t a Smoke Sweats pop-up, we highly suggest you…
