VIENNA GA BBQ CONTEST SERIES
The series documents the following competitions: “'BBQ Pitmasters' adds to our menu of programming, sharing stories of passionate real-life characters with the wildly popular BBQ backdrop.” Countless hours of work, hundred of miles of travel, and years perfecting recipes go into making one perfect bite of food – with the hopes of winning the title and millions of dollars in prizes,” explains Eileen O’Neill, President & GM, TLC. “For the competitors we follow, barbecue isn’t a hobby – it’s a passion.

Lee Ann Whippen, owner of Wood Chick’s BBQ in Chesapeake, Va., struggles to keep her team running without Billy by her side. Tuffy Stone, owner of Q Barbecue and A Sharper Palate in Richmond, Va., does a favor for Myron Mixon, three-time world champion from Unadilla, Ga., that could end up hurting his own chances in the contest. Harry Soo, head cook of team Slap Yo’ Daddy BBQ in Diamond Bar, Ca, competes against his former teammate Gary has something to prove. The competition heats up in the northeast, even as temperatures fall at the Diamond State BBQ Championship in Dover. The Diamond State BBQ episode will run at 10 p.m. This Thursday, drama at the Diamond State BBQ at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino is in the spotlight. Following some of the biggest names on the circuit, each one-hour episode travels to a different competition and shows viewers what it takes to win big in BBQ.
