An all-barbecue smorgasbord on the Williamsburg waterfront? The idea totally sells itself. But what about if those pits and grills were manned by a number of NYC’s most notable chefs, paired together to produce one of a kind, one-day-only culinary collaborations?

Ladies and gentlemen, we proudly present the Taste Talks All Star Barbecue.

From 1-4 pm and 5-8 pm on Sunday, September 14^th, 20 cult-status chefs will occupy 12 different grilling stations at the sun-drenched (we hope!) East River Park, for a walk-around tasting event of epic proportions. And if you thought last year’s lineup was good (Taste Talks curator April Bloomfield, paired with protégé and Allswell owner Nate Smith? Hello!) you’ll be in ecstasy over this year’s roster of confirmed participants. We’re talking Italian restaurant kingpin Michael White, together with musician Action Bronson! ‘Nuff said. Check out our dynamic duos below (a few A-students have even committed to a dish already!) and try your best not to drool all over the screen.
