Award-winning series from Beef Loving Texans Takes Viewers "Beyond the Pit," from Ranches to Restaurants, to Delve Deeper into Texas Barbecue
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- From beef ribs and barbacoa to curried brisket rice and pho rub beef belly spring rolls, viewers are in for a treat when they tune into BBQuest: "Beyond the Pit." Season 3 of the popular video series that is 'all things Texas barbecue' delves even deeper into the long-held traditions and new flavors and inspirations that make Texas barbecue so legendary. Besides featuring some of the state's top pitmasters, this season also includes visits with cattle ranchers from across the state.
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.
