BBQ Brawl Season 5

[rotuts]

BBQ Brawl has started season 5 

 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10765680/episodes/?season=5

 

some many cooking shows have Histrionic's that are off putting .

 

this show's format and etc  are for me amusing and a bit tough in cheek

 

Im a fan of BF.  he understands side dishes  like no other .  Symon is not in the later series

 

the equipment is interesting , and seeing the teams ' work their food up '  give me ideas.

 

I much prefer this sort of thing to various other Best Chef work-outs

 

for review purposes :

 

the set up 

 

 

 

the smaller unit on the left , or down at the L bottom is where the ingredients are for ' picking '

 

 

 

 

some very creative stuff is made , and the three ' star ' chefs also cook

 

and , what is better than cooking outside , vs a Stadium or Studio ?

My local BBQ source, Logan Sandoval of ZEF BBQ is one of the contestants so, of course, I will be cheering for him.

the contestants on this show  are very well seasoned BBQ Chefs.

Episode 2 is here

 

and the show continues to have interesting ' events '

 

still a bit tongue in cheek  , and amusing :

 

first is a Speed Relay , where you make a series of items , fast to produce

 

a burrito :

 

 

the team m makes one at a time , moving through the series 

 

 

 

the slowest team is eliminated , thus :

 

 

and 

 

 

Id enjoy any go these , including the slowest team

 

the next Event is interesting  :  three refrigerators 

 

 

siad to contain the usual ingredients of  a Student , and Athlete , and finally a Gourmet Foodie

 

using these ingredients , the team has to create a ' Full BBQ Meal '

 

how does a team pic its refrigerator ?

 

but of course , an Egg Spoon Race .
 

this show is a lot of fun , but Ill tell you , Id love to eat any of the food prepared

 

OutDoors !

 

tune in if you can

I suppose this could be selective editing but I thought the contestant who went home was deserving of that outcome, at least over these first 2 episodes. 
I'll be interested to see how things shake out going forward. 
 

Edited to add that Logan posted his ZEF BBQ menu for this weekend. It's got his curry chicken salad on it and someone asked if it would be, “Aggressive, but in a good way,” as Brooke Williamson described it in episode 2 on Monday.

the Refrig's :

 

Athlete :

 

 

lots of proteins

 

Student :

 

 

no ramen .  what student refit has : Romine centers ?  Fresh Strawberries ?

 

guess times change .  back in the day , the refrigerator was mostly empty.

 

Gourmet :

 

 

qual , venison osso busso  , mushrooms , several wines , both white snd red  .  dukmlivers.

 

yikes.

 

Im pleased the show is not simply repent the previous years format .

 

entertaining  twists , but none really affect each teams results .

His Japanese is a bit suspect. むすび or 結び(musubi) actually means 'conclusion'. It has been used to describe a type of knot used to tie (conclude) various food wrappers etc and also sometimes refers to rice balls stuffed with various fillings and tied with a knot of nori. In that usage it is a synonym for the more usual o-nigiri (おにぎり).

 

I hope his cooking is better than his Japanese etymology!  😀
