Judges for the St. Louis episode of American Grilled: host David Guas, chef Gerard Craft, and "Famous Dave" Anderson.
The St. Louis episode of the inaugural season of American Grilled airs tonight at 8 p.m. on the Travel Channel. The title of tonight's show: “Meat Me in St. Louis.”
Each week, on an open set, host David Guas doles out cooking challenges to four local competitors, chefs, home cooks, housewives, grillin’ husbands... Each episode consists of several grilling challenges, all comprising a different locally-based, mystery ingredient. Not surprisingly, the ingredients selected for our burg were pork steak, pretzel sticks, Mayfair dressing, and provel cheese (somehow gooey butter cake got a pass).
Judges for the event (filmed in St. Louis on July 30) were chef/restaurateur Guas, “Famous Dave” Anderson (founder of the Famous Dave's restaurant chain), and StL’s own Gerard Craft.
In a teaser video, three (but not all four) of the local competitors were named: Alan Bowman, VP of a brokerage firm; Eric Harland, VP of a technology company; and Elliott Mellow, ID’d only as “Marketing.” The winner of each episode earns $10,000 and the title “Killer Griller.”
To find out the fourth competitor, and see which of them took home the 10 large, tune in to the Travel Channel at 8 tonight.
