Barbecue America was a cooking show on American public television that ran from 2003 to 2009.[1]
In this show, host and series creator Rick Browne, made everything on a grill. He wore a "tablecloth" shirt, actually made from a red and white checked tablecloth. The show was described as a "travelogue" program, in which Browne traveled to a variety of barbecue cook-offs, and exotic locales.[2]
In 2004 Browne filed a lawsuit alleging that the Food Network had first rejected his proposal for this series, then used the idea for its own similar series starring Bobby Flay.[3] (Some years later Browne appeared on the Food Network in an episode of Chopped Grill Masters.[1])
Browne has also published several cookbooks on the subject of grilling.
