Beef brisket is THE Texas barbecue staple. Salt and smoke are the main ingredients because simple and straightforward is what Texas is all about.

Michael Symon joins pitmasters at Cedar Fest in Cedar Park, Texas, where he gets into the nitty gritty of what makes the best brisket.
Red, White and Ribs
The sweet, tangy red sauce that the majority of the country considers "barbecue sauce" is a Kansas City-style blend.

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.
