Kings of BBQ

Cedric the Entertainer and Anthony Anderson launch a brand-new Barbecue empire. Harkening back to simpler times in their own childhoods, they launch AC Barbeque to bring back the feeling of friendship and community to everyone's backyard.

Cedric and Anthony hone in on their signature tastes with the Pilot R&D team. A visit with the marketing team and Mike Meldman help the guys dive further into the purpose of launching the brand and being authentic to their roots.

The guys visit Cedric's hometown of St. Louis and some of Cedric's old stomping grounds, then the famous Kenrick's Butchers, where they learn all about St. Louis signature-style pork steak and tips.

Ced receives the fantastic news Walmart has committed to selling AC BBQ rubs and visits Walmart to learn about retail strategies and sidekicks.

AC Barbeque is hittin' the streets as Cedric and Anthony unveil their rubs at Memphis in May, a world-class barbecue competition and festival. Here they learn secrets of the trade from award-winning pitmasters.

The day has finally arrived... AC Barbecue is in Walmart stores! To celebrate, Anthony and Cedric head out to Walmart's headquarters in Northwest Arkansas to launch their new brand in front of 5,000 associates.

Now that AC Barbeque is Walmart official, one thing is clear... it's time to get the word out! Following the advice of Mike Meldman, the guys set off to introduce the brand at Anthony's Annual Charity Golf Tournament.

Friend and mentor Daymond John (Fubo, Shark Tank) pays a visit to the guys to talk shop and share his expertise.

Anthony and Cedric's efforts have paid off... ultimate restaurateur Mr. Robert Earl comes calling to propose a NEW restaurant venture with AC Barbeque.

Anthony and Cedric dive head-first into the tedious (yet delicious) task of menu planning--calling on friends, mentors, and award winning pitmasters Rasheed Phillips and Kevin Bludso to guide the way.
