Rashad Jones hits the road in search of pit masters who are cooking up delicious and unique versions of barbecued ribs. First, Rashad hangs with a rising barbecue star in Atlanta, Georgia, who's serving tender pork ribs straight from a slow-cooked whole hog with bonus sides passed down from generational recipes. Then Rashad takes on alligator ribs in St. Louis, Missouri, along with a towering barbecue smoked burger. Rashad's final stop introduces him to a local spot serving up deep-fried baby back ribs with a side of heartwarming collard greens.

Rashad Jones treats himself to an array of barbecued meats loaded on top of other classic comfort foods. First, he visits a family establishment in San Antonio that's serving up a generous four taco plate with all kinds of meat and side of burracho beans. Next, Rashad enjoys a hearty barbecue Brunswick stew poured on top of gooey mac and cheese rigatoni. At his final stop, Rashad devours a barbecue burnt ends thin pizza crust with a knock-your-socks-off barbecue sauce. He also enjoys a bowl of smoked turkey gumbo with a few surprise guests and friends.
