Michael Symon joins pitmasters at Cedar Fest in Cedar Park, Texas, where he gets into the nitty gritty of what makes the best brisket.

In Olathe, Kansas, Michael Symon gets to the bottom of every claim made by pitmasters about THE way to make unrivaled ribs.

In competition, this chicken is like nothing you've ever seen or tasted.
