Anthony Anderson and Cedric The Entertainer are serious about their love for BBQ, and with the actors taking it to the next level with AC Barbeque, all of this will be explored in a new series.
In their 10-episode unscripted series Kings of BBQ, A&E will follow the two as they learn all they can about the art form. The two friends head out on a culinary adventure across America. Along the way, they discover the best techniques, flavors, and traditions for mouthwatering barbeque. Kings of BBQ is produced by Propagate in association with A Bird And A Bear Entertainment and Just a Kid From Compton.
Throughout the years, the longtime friends have bonded over their shared love of barbeque and the unique history
that surrounds it. Hailing from St. Louis and Compton respectively, Cedric and Anthony grew up with different variations and approaches to the craft.
Partnering on AC Barbeque, the friends combine their individual experiences and knowledge from experts in the field. Along with their undeniable enthusiasm for the art form, they work to create a brand with everything the home cook needs for a barbeque feast.
“Anthony and I are very excited to take our audience into the savory, smokehouse-filled, finger-licking world of barbeque all across the United States,” said Cedric the Entertainment in a statement.
