Barbecue Showdown (originally titled The American Barbecue Showdown) is a reality television series filmed in Covington, Georgia that premiered on Netflix on September 18, 2020.[1][2] On August 9, 2021, Netflix renewed the series for a second season.[3] For season 3 moved its filming location to Gay, Georgia.
Contestants from across the United States compete in a barbecue cook-off to be crowned the "American Barbecue Champion". Starting with 8 contestants, each of whom have differing levels of barbecuing experience, they have to face challenges cooking in different styles, sometimes with extra surprise challenges. There is a focus not just on the cooking aspect but maintaining the barbecue's temperature and smoking abilities. Each cooking task must be completed within a set time frame, often less than the typical amount of time used to prepare and cook the specified meal.
