FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE, AUGUST 28(h
6:00-7:00 p.m.
DALLAS — Who makes the best
kosher barbecue in North Texas?
This is the burning question
behind the Kosher BBQ Challenge,
a community event that begins its
second year Aug. 23.
Event organizer, Rabbi Levi
Dubrawsky of Chabad of Dallas,
believes the ultimate payoff of the
challenge is the new and interesting
friendships it inspires.
Sure, sure. There will be lots and
lots of kosher meat — 600 pounds of
brisket, ribs and even hot dogs, to be
exact. Not to mention small cherry
pies from Tom Thumb.
And yes, as many as 500 people
are expected to attend — with rides,
live entertainment and carnival
fun to compliment the competitive
kosher barbecue cooking contest as
well as kosher hot dog and pie eating
contests.
But this second annual Kosher
BBQ Challenge at Chabad of
Dallas-The Shul, 6710 Levelland
Road, is much bigger than simply a
competition, the rabbi emphasized.
In addition to “kosher awareness
— Texas style,” this project of
Chabad of North Texas helps forge
new friendships on the same fires on
which award-winning brisket and
ribs are cooked.
“I really like the fact that this is a
communal event,” Rabbi Dubrawsky
said. “It brings our community
together.”
The rabbi said there was a lot of
2nd annual
BBQ Challenge
off this weekend
fl
affordable for those who attend.
Tickets — all of which include
unlimited access to rides and
carnival fun — are $9 for adults with
a hamburger, chips and drink meal;
$5 for children with a hot dog, chips
and drink meal; and $12 for both
adults and children with a brisket
sandwich, chips and drink meal.
Officials ask community
members to bring a canned food
item to help support the Jewish
Family Service Food Pantry.
“A canned food item for JFS enters
you in the raffle,” JFS tweeted.
But back to the true importance
of the event: the relationships.
Generally the competitors in this
event get three or four people to help
split the evening up and take shifts
cooking though the night.
This places certain people who
might not otherwise have met
within handshaking distance, Rabbi
Dubrawsky said.
“Part of the competition is the

feedback from the first year of the
competition from the people who
found it to be an incredibly fun
bonding experience.
As many as seven teams, at least
three people per team, will compete
in this event — which is under the
supervision of Dallas Kosher.
The meat smoking process starts
Saturday night on Motzei Shabbat.
Will Fleischman, pitmaster of
Eockhart Smokehouse Plano, returns
this year as lead judge. The rabbi said
it would have been really hard to
start this event without Fleischman.
“He was instrumental in getting
this event started last year,” the rabbi
said.
Will Fleischman explained that
the rabbi brought the initial concept
of the cookout to him last year,
and together they talked it out and
planned it.
“I am one of those people who
talks things through,” Fleischman
said. “I asked him, ‘How are going
going to put this together? How are
you going to educate their palates?’”
In his Twitter profile, Fleischman
said his passion for cooking makes
him a “carnivorous culinary
agitator.”
He has been chatting up the
kosher contest on Twitter.
“Calling all BBQ heads for the
#Dallaskosherbbq at Chabad of
Dallas,” Fleischman wrote Aug. 12.
“Open the BBQ mind to the roots of
brisket cooking.”
Fleischman will be flanked
during the competition by expert
judges Matt Pitman of Meat Church
BBQ, and Eric Perry of Eockhart
Smokehouse.
The rabbi said others whose help
was invaluable to making the kosher
cooking contest happen include
