Legendary pitmaster Pat Martin takes us on a food adventure, embedding himself with the grillmasters and pitmasters who have mastered the uniquely American tradition of BBQ as they share their stories and local cooking traditions.

Pat Martin gets a history lesson on the origin of American barbecue from "The Professor" Tuffy Stone.

Pat visits Edgar Victoria, known for bringing the street foods of Mexico City to Nashville, to do some live fire cooking out in nature as they prepare one of his favorite dishes - skirt steak tlayuda.

Pat Martin heads to the Cherokee National Forest for a day of fly-fishing with an old friend, and to cook up their fresh catch over the campfire.

Pat fishes the coastal inlets of Charleston, South Carolina, in search of a delicious sheepshead, which he plans to grill with his friend and chef James London.
