American Barbecue Showdown has also, at times, surpassed MasterChef in terms of the surprises it threw along these contestants’ ways. Many times, I was reminded of the cooking reality show MasterChef because the themes are along the same lines. Recreating recipes that have been passed down generation after generation is anyway quite a task and having a time constraint hovering over your head surely does not make it easier. There are challenges in the way of grabbing the title of The American Barbecue Showdown because sometimes there is a time constraint and sometimes it is something else. The contestants are from Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Georgia and all such places which are basically home to amazing barbecue joints that will delight all meat lovers. The show has eight contestants who have participated from countries which have different types of barbecue ideas and curations – thus, quite a diverse menu is seen on the show. A similarly-themed series was also rolled out by Netflix by the title Chef’s Table: BBQ. This is quite an interesting show as the fight intensifies for the title of The American Barbecue Showdown in a way which is unique. There are eight contestants who are pitmasters and they take part in a face-off with other contestants in weekly challenges. American Barbecue Showdown is a reality TV series which is hosted by Rutledge Wood from Floor is Lava, co-hosted by Lyric Lewis from A.P Bio and is judged by the famous barbecue experts, Kevin Bludso and Melissa Cookstone.

This show was planned and executed in a pre-pandemic world so it has been shot with ease. Now streaming on Netflix is The American Barbecue Showdown which is a show about pitmasters and their undeniable adroitness when it comes to the craft.
