BBQ lovers head to a historic village on Staten Island to try the best food around.

Nearly two thousand people attended the 7th annual BBQ Cook-Off at Historic Richmond Town on Saturday.

The event is the New York State Championship for the Kansas City Barbecue Society.

It also features a wing eating contest and a special edition maple bacon ice cream flavor from Egger's Ice Cream Parlor. 

With 30 competitors this year, organizers say the event brings in more people to tour the historic village.
