BBQ USA

I bbq. I love bbq. I smoke food. I know bbq. I watched season one with an eye on maybe getting some tips. Not the case. The show is so repetitive. I mean, how many times can one see guys put sauce on ribs, cut brisket, and Michael Symon laugh like an idiot as he stuffs his face? Everything he eats, he loves. Seriously? After you watch a few episodes, there really isn't any need to watch anymore. It is literally the same show. You would think that with all the interest in 2023 about bbq, home cooking, etc., that this show could add a different spin to bbq, and bbq competitions? I guess I set the bar too high for this show.

I watched the first episode and I enjoyed it. But it's just too long and has too much behind the scenes stuff that's kind of boring. It's like it drags on and on and on. I would have enjoyed it better as a half hour, fast paced, show. Hopefully the series will get better as it goes along.
