Pitmasters, Season 1

In a real-world barbecue competition unlike anything ever attempted, teams of elite pitmasters compete in a non-stop, week-long endurance battle over live fire to prove they are the best of the best. Deep in the wilderness, the pitmasters cook from sunrise to sunset, and to sunrise again, fighting for survival and their share of over $50,000! The teams must manage fire, fatigue, and challenges within challenges to impress hosts and judges Andrew Zimmern, Jess Pryles, Moe Cason, and Ernest Servantes, who use their vast barbecue knowledge to crown one team the Pitmasters Champion.
