In season 4, episode 5 of BBQ Pit Masters, the teams head to Charlotte, North Carolina for the Carolina's Divine Swine Cook Off. This competition is all about pork, and the teams are tasked with cooking up their best pulled pork dishes for the judges.
The teams all bring their A-game, using unique cooking methods and flavor combinations to try and stand out from the competition. Some use traditional wood-fired smokers, while others use more modern electric smokers to give their pork a unique flavor profile.
As the day goes on, tensions rise and the competition gets more intense. The judges are looking for perfectly cooked pork with a great texture and flavor, and the teams are all doing their best to deliver just that.
One team tries to go for a more adventurous approach, using a spicy rub and a bourbon glaze to give their pork a unique twist. Another team goes for a more classic approach, serving up Carolina-style pulled pork with a tangy sauce.
As the day goes on, the teams face a number of challenges. Some struggle with keeping their temperatures consistent, while others struggle with the timing of their dishes. But in the end, only one team can come out on top.
Throughout the episode, viewers get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to compete in a BBQ competition. The teams reveal their secret cooking techniques and share the challenges they face as they try to create the perfect dish.
In the end, the judges taste each team's pulled pork and award the grand prize to the team that they believe executed their dish the best. But win or lose, all of the teams walk away with a newfound appreciation for the art of BBQ cooking and a desire to keep perfecting their craft.
