For the final episode of my trip, I’m in the state of New Jersey for the first time, visiting the town of Cookstown to attempt Local Smoke BBQ’s “Ol’ 96er” BBQ Platter Challenge! Local Smoke BBQ is known for its award-winning, slow-smoked barbecue and casual dining atmosphere. The business started as a competition BBQ team in 2007 before opening restaurant locations in New Jersey. Their menu features a variety of smoked meats like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken, and sausage, along with classic BBQ sides. Local Smoke BBQ has won many awards at barbecue competitions and is known for using traditional low-and-slow smoking methods to create authentic BBQ flavors.

The “Ol’ 96er” BBQ Platter Challenge features a full rack of St. Louis–style ribs, a Wagyu sausage, mac and cheese bites, potato salad, BBQ baked beans, fries, cornbread, and eight sliders with four different flavors. You have 30 short minutes to finish everything. If you can complete the challenge within the time limit, you’ll get the $96 meal free, a $50 gift card, a T-shirt, and a photo on the Wall of Fame.
