North Texas is smokin' on upcoming barbecue show
Robert Philpot
When you hear that a TV series is going to be about “the high-stakes world of competitive barbecue,” you expect to see Texans in it, and TLC’s upcoming BBQ Pitmasters doesn’t disappoint.
Three of the cooks featured in the series are from North Texas, including one from Fort Worth. Jamie Geer, owner of Jambo Pits, a Fort Worth company that sells custom smokers, is in the show, as are Paul Petersen, the executive chef at Rick’s Chop House in McKinney, and Johnny Trigg, considered the “godfather of barbecue” from Alvarado.
The eight-episode series, which premiere at 9 p.m. Dec. 3 on TLC, will follow cooks from Texas and other regions of the country on the competitive-barbecue circuit, including such events as the Smokin' in Mesquite Nevada Open BBQ Championship in Mesquite, Nev., and the Big Pig Jig in Vienna, Ga.
Too bad I've already had lunch. I'm craving barbecue.
