Texas Monthly: Two Texas Pitmasters Will Compete on the Third Season of Netflix’s ‘Barbecue Showdown’

WHO: Kareem El-Ghayesh of Austin’s KG BBQ and Sloan Rinaldi of Houston’s Texas Q.

WHAT: The third season of Netflix’s reality competition show Barbecue Showdown, in which nine pitmasters vie to win $50,000, premieres on July 4.

WHY IT’S SO GREAT: Texas barbecue is no stranger to the limelight, nor to Netflix programming—you may have seen it featured on shows like Chef’s Table and Somebody Feed Phil. But this month, Lone Star State pitmasters take on a more ambitious edge by competing in the third season of Netflix’s reality show Barbecue Showdown.
