We are back with the 2nd installment of our 4th annual BBQ Blowout series. On site tix will be $10 and will include a plate of food and a complimentary Reyka Vodka cocktail. New York magazine is back with us again, so make sure to get your free issue.
Entry is free, so come and hang out and enjoy Reyka specials all night long. As always, Nicky Digital will be snapping your photos, so make sure to wipe that sauce off your face.
The BBQ takes place at Good Co. - 10 Hope St, Brooklyn [map] - 7pm - 10pm
The Talent
If the chef at our next BBQ looks familiar it may be because you’ve seen him compete as Bobby Flay’s sous chef on “Iron Chef America.” Brian Ray is co-executive chef of the wildly popular Manhattan restaurant, Buddakan, and helps run one of the busiest kitchens in the country. We’re very excited to have him bring Buddakan’s distinct contemporary Asian spin to our grill on June 15.
On the decks will be Flagrant Fowl's own Pocketknife. The Brooklyn DJ/producer released Tambourine Dream on his own imprint to great acclaim taking the music community by surprise. The indie and folk remix project has reached cult status now with its inventive studio craft and Pocketknife’s ability to show restraint within these reworkings.
Joining him will be Picture House - the 21 year old English dj with a track on exclusive 12" label Sccucci Manucci alongside Jacques Renault, and a remix for esteemed Kill Em All label due for release in June.

Reyka Vodka is as unique as the land that inspires it. Hand crafted in small batches in Borgarnes, Iceland, made with pure Icelandic spring water and filtered through lava rocks. Only Reyka captures a crisp, clean taste with a smooth finish.

Finger On The Pulse
Twin brothers Terry D and DJ Never Forget have traveled the world as Finger on the Pulse, bringing the music and food cultures of New York City to points beyond. They are the creators of the TV show Dinner With The Band, which features musicians that cook up their favorite recipes while they lay down their favorite tunes. The duo is also known for their popular Summer BBQ Blowout Series, which invites Brooklyn’s culture vultures to sample the fare of creative chefs in the heat of the summer night. Their connections with the culinary world cover the full spectrum, from the most buzzed about celebrity chefs to local families making authentic meals in their ‘hood.
They currently live in Brooklyn, New York where they have long been fighting the good fight for late nights and good meals. When they’re not hustling to bring the party to the people, Finger on the Pulse has been known to enjoy good whiskey, cheap whiskey, and all the whiskies in between.
