Fire up the grill and brace yourself for another season of intense culinary showdowns—Hustle Sizzle and Smoke is back, and this time, the competition is hotter, bolder, and more flavorful than ever! 

In a season filled with a new lineup of pit masters, grill bosses, and culinary artists, no stone is left unturned as each contestant brings their best techniques, secret sauce (literally), and high-energy performance to the Hustle Sizzle and Smoke Arena. 

Each challenge turns the heat up a few notches, and as the stakes grow with each competition, the question remains—who can stand the heat?

Kicking off with Chef Be of Everybody Eats Grill vs. Chef Al of Windy City Grill Gang, this explosive installment of the hit aspireTV series starts with a lamb and pickled vegetable showdown. Only one can find the perfect balance of flavors to impress the judges —who will it be?

From a turkey leg and okra showdown to a steak and onion face-off, each episode of this second season of Hustle Sizzle and Smoke brings fierce competition. Chefs will push boundaries using bold ingredients like Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey, Black is Beautiful Stout Beer, and Blackberry Merlot Jam, adding an extra twist to rounds that will leave those watching biting their fingernails.

Once we get to the semifinal matchups, the true masters are separated from the contenders to test their ability to integrate unexpected elements, such as Flo Wine, into their dishes. By the time the finals arrive, it’s every man or woman for themselves in the kitchen as the two best chefs go head-to-head over pork belly, vegan BBQ, and a side of mango, all while showcasing precision and skill, using Middleton Made Knives as their tools in the kitchen.

Who will rise to the top, and who will get burned? Hustle Sizzle and Smoke promises a second season filled with passion, precision, and plenty of surprises. Stay tuned—the fire is just getting started starting Thursday, April 2 at 8:30 PM ET.
