STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. When Dan Jacobellis isn’t catering or teaching cooking classes at Mount Loretto, he’s competing in barbecue competitions around the country. And the Eltingville resident is winning big as he and brother James take their Top Gun BBQ rig on the road with their acclaimed pulled pork, smoked brisket, ribs and chicken.
At the moment this year, Staten Island’s own Top Gun is ranked 13th in the world.
“We’re really gearing up and going all in for competition,” said the chef.
