Netflix's Barbecue Showdown is Serving Up Some Real Winners This Season: A Woman, A Minority, and Some Guy from Texas
Netflix is spicing things up this July 4 with a new season of Barbecue Showdown, featuring everyone's favorite: social justice warriors!
Kareem El-Ghayesh, owner of KG BBQ, a food truck that's literally parked at a brewery, will be rubbing elbows with eight other pitmasters, including a fellow Texan, Sloan Rinaldi. How original, another damn Texan. These woke TV producers just can't help themselves.
El-Ghayesh, the token minority, will no doubt be pushing his "Egyptian twist" on good ol' fashioned 'cue. Brisket shawarma? Pomegranate glazed pork ribs? This ain't your granddaddy's barbecue, folks. It's what happens when you let foreigners and their weird food into America.
And what's this? A woman is hosting the show? Michelle Buteau, a comedian, no less. Great, just what we need, a woman telling us about barbecue. At least there's some hope with judges Melissa Cookston and Kevin Bludso, though I'm sure they'll be impartial and let Mr. El-Ghayesh win just to tick the diversity box.
$50,000 on the line? That's a lot of money to pay for a PC agenda.
