Danielle hits up the only BBQ joint in Johns Island, SC, for smoked ribs and a taste of their 32 side dishes. Then, she wakes up at the crack of dawn to cook a whole hog and take part in a BBQ fundraiser for a local charity.

Danielle crawls her way to Kansas City, MO, to prep for her next BBQ contest. She starts by feasting on an unbelievable KC strip steak. Then, she hits the woodlot to study up on smoke woods and noshes on 'competition-style' BBQ.

Danielle is up against 150 of the world's grand BBQ champions at the American Royal BBQ competition. With a storm coming and 13 BBQ categories to turn in, Danielle turns up the heat for the judges.
