Hosts Camila Alves and Eddie Jackson meet eight of the fiercest kid barbecue cooks in the country and kick off the competition.

The competition heats up with two rounds of head-to-head barbecue battle, and chef Kardea Brown joins the judging panel to help decide which young barbecue cook will be sent home.

The barbecue arena is transformed into a Polynesian paradise and the kids are challenged to make the perfect luau pork dish with a tropical fruit side.
