The Hit Series is Back with the Deeply Competitive Spirit of the American BBQ Subculture, This Sunday, June 2 at 9:00 p.m. on Destination America
Tuffy “The Professor” Stone, BBQ Champion & BBQ Pitmasters Judge
(Silver Spring, MD, Wednesday, May 29, 2013) They’re part chef, part athlete, and part five-star general. They talk a big game and walk it like they talk it every step of the way, no-nonsense men and women with grease on their hands, sweat on their brows and meat on their minds from sun-up to sundown. They are the BBQ PITMASTERS, the leading cooks of America’s burgeoning barbecue circuit, where reputations and respect ride on the virtues of one perfectly glazed rib, and where hundreds of thousands of dollars are won or lost after a single, mouth-watering bite of brisket.
BBQ PITMASTERS – All-new season premieres Sunday, June 2 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on Destination America.
The hit series is back with the deeply competitive spirit of the American BBQ subculture. This season follows a revolving cast of the best chefs on the circuit through a full season of high-profile barbecue competitions, from Kansas City’s Great American BBQ all the way through the granddaddy of them all, the Jack Daniels World Championship Invitational in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Returning judges include the “winningest” man in BBQ, Myron Mixon, alongside Tuffy Stone, and each week will feature a third guest judge. At the end of each episode, only one will be crowned the ultimate BBQ Pitmaster, earning all the bragging rights, $50,000 from Kingsford Charcoal, and entry into the Kingsford Invitational.
