Win a FastPass to the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party—This One's for the Nerds!
The Big Apple Barbecue Block Party. You pretty much know the drill. 'Cuemasters from around the country descend on New York's Madison Square Park for a weekend of meat-smoking for the barbecue-famished masses.
As experienced block party attendees know, the FastPass is the way to go. It gives you and one guest access to special express lines at all 14 of the pit masters as well as those of the other food purveyors there.
Passes are available for sale online till Friday, but if you want to take a chance here, you can put your poetry-writing skills to the test. We have one (1) final FastPass worth $52 to give away today to one lucky reader. If you live in New York City or are willing to travel here June 7 to 8, this is your contest. Enter the contest, after the jump ...
Get Geeky for Us
This one's for the geeks out there. To enter to win this pass, all you have to do is list a barbecue-themed URL (existing or unregistered and imaginary) here in the comments.
The best " 'cueRL," as determined by the Serious Eats staff, will win.
But wait! There's more: Each day's winner will also receive a copy of Peace, Love, and Barbecue by pit master Mike Mills and Amy Mills Tunnicliffe.
And that's not all! Serious Eats head honcho Ed Levine has volunteered to lead a little guided tour early in the day on Sunday for all the winners, taking them around to meet the pit masters.
