A student of the game with a passion for learning to match, he spends his time outside of being a full-time graphic designer studying and giving press to other pitmasters in NYC and beyond. Smoke Sweats pop-ups are elusive, but always worth the hustle to attend. Where else would you be able to lick Maltese-influenced smoked duck leg confit with a maple-date BBQ sauce off the bone, indulge in the wonders of a mass-produced snack-turned gourmet with his cheetoh pie, and award-winning ribs with a rub and sauce infused with coffee from Ethiopia? ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee17506b3ffdd37bad82d90/1710523021825-0OUN935YGCUSCHHYGWTL/Ribs+Smoke+Sweats.jpeg?format=original) ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee17506b3ffdd37bad82d90/1710523033385-7AYC1N00T2AG4QQGWNMQ/smoke+sweats+cheetoh+pie.jpeg?format=original) ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee17506b3ffdd37bad82d90/1710523047583-4WH7VERA2B17F2M6GKKL/Smoke+Sweats.jpg?format=original) ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee17506b3ffdd37bad82d90/1710523106019-7M6XPJG9D8Z7A8NYDEPG/Smoke+sweats+brisket+taco.jpeg?format=original) Founder Anthony Scerri is also an 8it Hidden Gem Hunter, dropping his favorite dishes eat when he’s not popping up.
