Season 1
Brisket. Few words have such power to make mouths water. It is the backbone of Texas barbecue and the starting point for Irish corned beef, Jewish pastrami and Vietnamese pho. Time for a world tour.
This show gives grilled and smoked vegetables their due; tandoori cauliflower with coriander mint chutney, squash gratin with habanero chiles, and Mexican pit-roasted lamb.
The U.S. is often described as a global melting pot. We focus on three grilled dishes with international roots - shrimp cocktail, chipotle ribs, and an unexpected planet barbecue ‘banana’ split.
The Gulf Coast has some of the most vibrant seafood and distinctive grilling in the Americas. From grilled oysters with charred corn salsa to a grill-top shrimp boil, we’re fishing for compliments.
We travel the BBQ trail from Venezuela to Peru starting with a Venezuelan specialty, asopao, reimagined by Caracas-born chef Geronimo Lopez. Then, a twist on two Peruvian delicacies.
Brazilians are masters at the art of the rotisserie. We learn to cook beef, chicken and pork with the proverbial turn. We start with Brazil’s celebrated picanha served with farofa and salsa.
The Caribbean occupies a special place in the annals of delights that gave us the word ‘barbecue’ - Jamaican jerk chicken, Trinidadian grilled vegetable, and shrimp boka dushi.
Experience the Texas Trinity hot off the grill: smoked and grilled rib-eye steaks, grilled quail, and a sizzling sandwich prepared by San Antonio master chef, Jason Dady.
Elsewhere in Latin America, grill masters make a virtue of simplicity, think salt only grilled steaks. But Mexicans builds layers of flavour – introducing three spectacular grill specialities.
Get ready for Carne Asado breakfast tacos, Jason Dady’s oak-smoked cherry-glazed ribs, and beef cheek barbacoa prepared by local smoke master esaul ramos.
When Columbus landed in the Bahamas in 1492, he initiated an East-West culinary exchange that continues to this day. This show explores three European grill classics - each with a New World twist.
The meeting of East and West has profoundly influenced how we cook and eat. This show takes fusion cuisine to the grill. On the menu? 'Good Luck Cluck' (barbecued chicken with Thai curry), Lone Star Kalbi, and a grilled Pork and Cactus Salad bursting with Thai flavours.
Argentina. The very name summons visions of rustic gaucho asados and sophisticated grill restaurants. Today, you'll learn to prepare meat from a genuine asador, Argentinean grill master.
