Global Melting Pot

Celebrate the universality of live-fire cooking and the regional differences that make it so thrilling, bringing the world of live-fire cooking to America’s backyard.

Global Melting Pot

Season 1 Episode 111 | 26m 46s | CC

The U.S. is often described as a global melting pot. We focus on three grilled dishes with international roots. Shrimp cocktail gets the East-West treatment with Thai spices and smoked jalapeños. Chipotle Ribs with chocolate and Drunken Salsa spiked with tequila and roasted chiles. Dessert sounds an equally unexpected note: a luscious Planet Barbecue “Banana” Split made with grilled plantains.
