Pig Island Farm and Chef Festival
Angelo Competiello was born into the food business. His father owned a beloved Italian specialty store, and Angelo carried on the tradition, opening his own shop at just 25 years old. He’s nurtured his passion for food and cooking over the years and will be bringing his talents to Pig Island. Get your tickets now and start dreaming of a slice of his signature porchetta pizza!
Lynn Wells learned to cook by spending time in the kitchen with her mother, never realizing that the tips and tricks she picked up there would lead to her career. After years in the nutrition department of a North Carolina hospital system, she’s now a personal chef who combines her interests in healthy, local and international food with the southern classics she grew up on. She will be competing at Pig Island 2021 on pitmaster Matthew Deaton’s all-star team of chefs – get your tickets here to taste some of her southern cooking in New York.
Less than a year after opening, Hindsight Barbecue from Waterbury, CT wowed the crowds at Rib King with their maple bacon baby back ribs, taking home second place overall at the competition. We talked with owner and pitmaster Jeff Schmidt about opening during the pandemic, his non-traditional approach to barbecue and what you can expect from Hindsight in the future. If you’re in the neighborhood, Hindsight is open for dine in and takeout. You can also support them by purchasing merchandise here. As told to Sarah Strong, this interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.
You can’t miss the Farella brothers of Brothers Barbecue and Brothers Smokehouse because each brother in the trio stands well over six feet tall. Their contagious smiles will draw you in, and their barbecue will get you hooked. We spoke with the pitmaster of the operation, Chris Farella, about how the family got into the barbecue business, what it was like opening during the pandemic and what the future may hold for the brothers. You can dine or get takeout from either restaurant in New Windsor, NY or Ramsey, NJ. You can also buy Brothers merch online here. As told to Sarah Strong.
