Primal Grill with Steven Raichlen Season 3 Episode 1 Barbecue's Birthplace

Travel with Steven Raichlen to Turkey, the undisputed birthplace of shish kebab, and back to the United States for a mind-bending new way to grill lamb chops. In Turkey, you will witness the making of the ultimate lamb kebab, hunkar begendi (smoked eggplant puree), and lamb chops so tender you won't need a knife. Back in the US, Steven unveils a staggering special-occasion lamb al asador (think Argentinean grill crossed with a medieval roasting mechanism), served with an unlikely mashed potato dish made on a wood-fired grill.
