BBQ Pitmasters Auditions

BBQ Pitmasters is back for another season and is currently accepting entries for consideration to be included in next season's TV series. But there's a catch this time...according to the e-mail that arrived in my inbox today, to be considered you need to live on one of the following states (only).

­‐ Texas
­‐ Tennessee – Memphis Style BBQ
­‐ North Carolina
­‐ Missouri – Kansas City Style BBQ
­‐ Kentucky
­‐ Georgia

The deadline for submission is August 22nd.

I would have loved to post all the details about how you enter, questions to answer, contact information etc., but the information was sent to me as a PDF file.    Perhaps a timely e-mail to BBQPitmasters@originalmedia.com will yield a user friendly format for anyone who is interested in being considered.

Final Episode of BBQ Pitmasters

BBQ Pitmaster: Week 2

Here's a preview of the 2nd episode:



To paraphrase the promotional e-mail I received from the network:

With one Pitmaster headed into an ambulance, the rest compete for $5,000 and an invitation into the finale for the $100,000 prize. Thursday 10 pm ET 9 pm CT.

BBQ Pitmasters Season 2

Thursdays at 10:00 eastern / 9:00 central



I wonder if the rules state that they have to use Kingsford charcoal.

BBQ Pitmasters Season 2

I read a Twitter post from BBQ Pitmasters creator John Markus recently announcing the narrowing of the field for the season 2 cast.  It took me awhile to warm up to Season 1.  Having competed in KCBS contests for several years, what I was watching on TV and what I actually experienced at bbq contests did not match up well. 

After the 3rd episode, my attitude toward the show changed a little and it started to grow on me.  I began to realize that some of the hype was necessary to draw a bigger audience (and advertisers to pay the bills), but that doesn't mean I agreed with all of it.

I wonder what Season 2 will bring?
