BBQ Brawl features BBQ chefs from all over the country. Nine BBQ greats went head-to-head, proving they have what it takes to whip up the best barbeque in the biz.
Bobby Flay and Michael Symon mentored the country’s most-respected barbecue challengers in a four-part competition where Jones came out on top.

This journey was amazing but it wasn’t easy! I am super proud to join the ranks of BBQ Hall of Famer @leeannwhippen from BBQ Brawl Season 1 and @bluesmokeblaire from BBQ Brawl Season 2 as this season’s Master of ‘Cue! Ocala, I hope I made y’all proud!”
