It's a battle for the best barbecue in America on Top 5 Restaurants. Whether you like juicy Texas brisket, saucy Memphis pork ribs or smoky chicken doused with the ultimate secret sauce, we've got the BBQ joint for you. From old school roadhouses to cozy family restaurants; legendary pit masters, dedicated families and a classically trained chef all invite you to grab a big handful of napkins and tuck into the best savory 'cue in the country.
With four teams left in the competition, judges Andrew Zimmern, Ernest Servantes, Jess Pryles, and Moe Cason are looking for a classic backyard barbecue potluck with a live-fire main course and two sides that don't disappoint. But the catch is that the pitmasters only have three hours to pull it off! The teams are fighting for a spot in the semifinals, and for the first time the Big Burn comes with a $5,000 prize.
