On Wednesday, July 2nd Travel Channel will premiere an all-new series “American Grilled” at 10:00pm ET/PT. The premiere episode takes place in Asheville, NC and features four local contestants, Elizabeth Karmel (owner of Hill Country BBQ restaurants) and Jason Sandford (a food writer and journalist from Asheville)!
In the premiere episode, Host David Guas travels to Asheville, N.C. – a scenic arts community tucked between the Blue Ridge and Smokey mountains. Here, it’s all about homegrown foods, the great outdoors and beer. Four killer grillers – Jeff, Dillon, Will and Tiny – battle it out to take home the $10,000 prize in Asheville’s Pack Square Park – a favorite local spot for concerts, festivals and art. They must use unique local ingredients – like scuppernongs, stinky goat cheese and liver mush – and some of the juiciest cuts of meat to win over the judges in each round. Guas is joined by guest judges Elizabeth Karmel (owner of Hill Country BBQ restaurants) and Jason Sandford (a food writer and journalist from Asheville). It’s a high-heat, high-intensity rush to the finish.
In each hour-long episode of “American Grilled,” hardcore grilling enthusiasts from across the country go head-to-head for a chance to compete for a $10,000 cash prize and bragging rights when they are crowned the ultimate “grill master.” In this outdoor cooking challenge, host and renowned chef/restaurateur David Guas turns up the heat on four highly-motivated contestants who must use locally sourced ingredients – blue crab in Maryland, quail in Georgia and T-bone steaks in Texas, to name a few – to create delicious and original plates that test their epic backyard skills.
