We wrapped up our February BBQ Love celebration with the chance to win a year’s worth of BBQ – limit 1 per week by predicting the 2012 Oscar Winners for Best Actor & Actress, Best Supporting Actor & Actress, Best Picture & Best Director. Two entries scored the highest number of correct answers – five – & based on a random drawing by official Hut feline judge Unagi…

The Winner Is: Judy Amberger

Judy will win free BBQ for a year – a free Trashcan Chili, Sloppy Brisket or Pulled Pork sandwich or one large side – limit 1 item per week.

As it was a close tie, we’ve decided to offer the runner up a bit of free BBQ as well…

Anne Sanford – wins a free Trashcan Chili, Sloppy Brisket or Pulled Pork sandwich or one large side.

The “Against All Odds” Award

We were also impressed by two entries who managed to ignore the laws of statistics & actually guessed NONE of the winners. We’ve decided they deserve something for this impressive feat. Congratulations to Pat Moore & Amy Doig – you win one free small side.

The latest, greatest & last version of the Hut is now OPEN! Thursday – Sunday, we’re serving up the best Q in the Catskills. Pulled pork, beef brisket, turkey breast & pork spare ribs all slow smoked in our Backwoods Smokers in the cook house in front of the Hut. We use local hardwoods – mostly cherry, oak, maple & apple – with a base of Royal Oak All Natural Hardwood Briquettes. All rubs & sauces are made in house.

Looking for some great side dishes? Then you’ve also come to the right place! All of our sides are made by hand from scratch. We make our own slaw dressings – one mayo/mustard dressing & one vinegar dressing. Our BBQ Beans are more a meal than a side – three kinds of beans with peppers & onions in our Thundernagi BBQ Sauce. Got a craving for some collard greens? Our Kickin’ Greens have got you covered. Made with house smoked pork belly & a hit of our North Carolina Vinegar Sauce. We even have TWO different Mac & Cheeses. Plain Old Mac & Cheese is just that – just straight up trad mac & cheese. We suggest skipping that for our signature Mac – Smoked Mac & Cheese. Elbow macaroni in a creamy cheese sauce with peppers & onions – we take the whole pan & put it in the smoker for a bit. During the Catskill growing season, we also feature sides made from produce grown on our own farm – Cha Cha Hut Acres.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Hut real soon!

On Sunday, September 25, Cha Cha Hut BBQ is participating with New York City & New York State restaurants to donate 10% of our sales for the day to Just Food and GrowNYC to benefit NY area farmers hard hit by Hurricane Irene & recent flooding.

We will be working with area farmers to create sides & specials featuring local produce. We hope you’ll make a date to come to the Hut, eat and drink heartily & help our area farmers. While we do not take table reservations – we do encourage reserving food (especially ribs) for this special event.
