In the season finale, "Grill Masters: Finale Showdown," the four champions from the qualifying rounds represent their barbecue style – Texas, Memphis, North Carolina and Kansas City – as they reassemble to compete for a grand prize of $50,000. One contender is eliminated in the first round, which reveals a wild and smoky ingredient in the basket, then the remaining three tackle a meat-and-potatoes entree round. A dessert round highlighting festive sugary ingredients decides the winner. Amanda Freitag, Myron Mixon and Chris Santos are the judges.
