Brooklyn pit master Shannon heads to Shreveport, Louisiana to battle local BBQ legend Hickory Stick in a down home, down south pulled pork sandwich cook off. Shannon may be a master up north, but to smoke the competition down on the bayou, Shannon needs to make a few pit stops to learn the local flavours and get some inspiration for his Italian-inspired twist on Louisiana-style 'cue. Hickory Stick owners Linda and Scott have perfected their classic pulled pork sandwich over 38 years, but Shannon's hoping his sweet and savoury crawfish zeppole side dish may help win over the judges' tastebuds. Will Shannon claim victory or will tradition win the day?
