Alex Bernard, the pitmaster of Smoked Spice BBQ, a New York pop-up and catering business, comes from a food family: His grandmother, a Guyanese immigrant, founded Sybil’s Bakery in Queens. Growing up, Alex helped with the family business and even started Smoked Spice BBQ in a Sybil’s kitchen during the pandemic shutdown of 2020. He’s spent years perfecting his take on barbecue with a Caribbean twist.
Follow Alex as he stays up for hours to smoke his barbecue, and get a peek of what goes into building a business that stands out among the rest.

In Kendrick's words, "THEY NOT LIKE US." These East Indians are being promoted as if they’re foundational Black Americans, but they’re not. Their whole family are immigrants, yet they have businesses and resources while the people of the land struggle to get anything. Stop supporting these stores if they're not FBA-owned.
That has always been the goal which is to bring in the Immigrants and fund the immigrants 100% and the people of the land the FBA are just left to the wayside with 0 opportunities, and when they go to commit crime because of system set up to oppress and hold them back then they point the finger.
A fellow Guyanese, I'll have to find his food.
That is so good that you can have good friends to help you out while you was young and now my older now and you have your own business cooking barbecue you can't find people like that no more good luck on your business barbecue looking good there God bless you and your family and your crew❤❤❤😊😊😊
