Plot Synopsis

EAT, SLEEP, BBQ is a half-hour reality series that follows barbecue chef Rashad Jones, as he travels across America to showcase some of the nation's most epic BBQ. After earning his series at the end of Season 1 of GUY'S BIG PROJECT, Rashad's program, EAT, SLEEP, BBQ, premiered on Sunday, December 10, 2017 at 9:30pm ET/PT immediately following the season finale of GUY'S BIG PROJECT (8pm) and the other concept, THE GRILL DADS (9pm), that was greenlit to series. In the first episode of EAT, SLEEP, BBQ, "Brisket: The King of BBQ," Rashad pays a visit to three barbecue pit masters who are taming brisket in new and unique ways. In Phoenix, Rashad hangs with a husband and wife duo knocking out a sandwich stuffed with tender brisket meat and other fixings, plus a secret recipe for smoked pecan pie. Next he travels to northern California for brisket barbecue egg rolls and burnt end nachos. Rashad's final stop takes him to San Antonio for a show-stopping bowl of barbecue brisket ramen noodles. Six days later -- on December 16 -- EAT, SLEEP, BBQ moved to its regular timeslot: Saturdays at 9pm. In the time-slot premiere, "Stick to Your Ribs," Rashad hits the road in search of pit masters who are cooking up delicious and unique versions of barbecued ribs. First, Rashad hangs with a rising barbecue star in Atlanta, Georgia, who's serving tender pork ribs straight from a slow-cooked whole hog with bonus sides passed down from generational recipes. Then Rashad takes on alligator ribs in St. Louis, Missouri, along with a towering barbecue smoked burger. Rashad's final stop introduces him to a local spot serving up deep-fried baby back ribs with a side of heartwarming collard greens.
