BBQuest "Beyond the Pit" follows four themes that capture the essence of Texas barbecue: Legacy & Tradition, Creativity & Innovation, Texas Trailblazers and Family & Community.
"Since launching BBQuest four years ago, it's truly remarkable to see how much has changed, and yet stayed the same, when it comes to Texas barbecue and that's exactly what you see in Season 3's "Beyond the Pit," said Rachel Chou, Texas Beef Council's director of consumer marketing. "There has been so much exciting innovation around cooking methods and international flavors, while there's still a huge dedication to long-held recipes and smoking techniques."
BBQuest co-host and Hardcore Carnivore cookbook author Jess Pryles developed recipes so viewers can recreate dishes from each of the episodes.
