Florida has BBQ now? (So… can we get some?)
Looks like the Sunshine State got jealous of the BBQ Belt getting all the attention. Texas brisket, Carolina vinegar, KC ribs…

And now a new challenger comes on the scene: Florida Asado.
And to be honest, it looks truly d*mn tasty.
FL Chef Jeffrey Budnechky is getting them fired up down in Miami at Apocalypse Barbecue (great logo by the way) on live fire cooking. Chef Jeff’s Miami twist on BBQ sounds absolutely mouth-watering.
“Brisket gets croqueta’d, maduros are smoked and caramelized, and ribs come rubbed in cafecito and lacquered in housemade Oro Negro sauce — a molasses-dark glaze that’s all Cuban coffee and bold Miami attitude.”
Sorry, just read that and had to quickly go buy plane tix for a week in Miami…
But Chef Jeff is just one of the FL BBQ chefs leading this movement.
Florida Asado appears to be defined by smoking local Florida meats over open charcoal smoke for hours on end. It’s an intrinsically chaotic cook that results in everyone having a good time outside together, which is classic Florida vibes 👇
The Florida BBQ scene seems to be growing and thriving around this Asado culture. And as the welcoming and hungry carnivores we are, our verdict is…
Welcome, Floridians, to the BBQ scene. Can’t wait to try it out.
