With Israel at war with Hamas, this year’s Atlanta Kosher BBQ Festival took on special meaning as thousands gathered at Brook Run Park to take part in the annual bonanza.

The event, now in its 11th year, was presented by the Hebrew Order of David and featured 21 cooking teams competing in four categories: Beef Ribs, Beef Brisket, Chili, and Chicken. The winners for each category were as follows: Grand Champion – Burnt Offerings; Beef Ribs – Burnt Offerings; Beef Brisket – 8th Day BBQ; Chicken – Carolina Chopped; Chili – Carolina Chopped.

The AJT won Best Decoration for their “Barbie-Q” themed booth.

The AJT held a community raffle to give away four ATV/Go-cart vehicles. The winners were: Sandra Glassman, Heather Barnes, Deborah Hatherley, and Nathan Katz. Also won in the raffle were a pair of toy grills, won by Elana Horawitz and Avi Tohar.
