Plot Synopsis

In each one-hour episode of GRILL OF VICTORY, host and judge Sabin Lomac tasks three meat masters to battle it out in three fierce rounds of grilling challenges. Lomac is joined by a rotating panel of judges -- including, Susie Bulloch, Darnell Ferguson, Tregaye Fraser, and Christian Petroni -- who help determine who grilled their way to the top to win a brand new custom outdoor kitchen designed by Cristy Lee. In each episode, the amateur chefs are challenged in three rounds to show the judges they can take the heat of the competition and that they have chops on the grill. From a full day of meals, including, breakfast, lunch and dinner, to Italian classics and on-the-go meals, everything must be made on the grill. On the premiere, the backyard grillers must keep the judges' mouths watering in every round. First, they are tested to create their own versions of Southern chicken. Then, in round two they must make a delicious coastal seafood dish. In the final round, the stakes are high as the competitors put their spin on the traditional surf and turf. The one with the most inspired dishes will grill their way to the thrill of winning a brand-new, custom-built backyard kitchen.

In the series opener, "It's Not the Destination, It's the Journey," Lomac challenges three of America's best backyard grillers to create three regionally inspired dishes in hopes of winning a brand-new outdoor kitchen. The competitors take on Southern chicken and coastal cuisine, keeping judges Susie Bulloch and Tregaye Fraser on the edges of their seats with mouths watering through every round.
