The Great Brooklyn Grill Out

According to the organizers:

Nothing says summer like grilling outdoors, and this year summer kicks off with a grill out event the likes of which Brooklyn has never seen! The producers of CookOut NYC and Food Party on the Pier are hosting The Great Brooklyn Grill Out on Saturday, May 27th, at the outdoor pavilion of the Food Sciences Academy of Long Island University – Brooklyn. Featuring multiple grilling stations, celebrity chefs, a grilled cheese competition, craft beer, cider and a special VIP section upgrade (for 21+), Brooklyn Grill Out will offer up six hours of eating, drinking and enjoying live entertainment suitable for all ages.

It’s all part of a summer series of events that will include the return of Food Karma Feasts at the Farm on Kent, along with the 9th Annual July Good Beer Month (WNYC’s Craft Beer Jam, Edible’s Good Beer and the Good Beer Seal Awards), and the return of Pig Island this September.
