Four remaining pitmasters are tasked with putting their own spin on a barbecue classic from around the world in episode seven of The American Barbecue Showdown. Hosts Rutledge Wood and Lyric Lewis introduce the challenge and explain that each pitmaster will be randomly assigned a country and a classic barbecue dish to recreate with their own flair.

First up is Bubba, who draws Thailand and is assigned to make a grilled lemongrass chicken dish. He immediately starts experimenting with spicy marinades and eventually settles on a blend of lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and chili paste. Next, Leslie draws Jamaica and is tasked with making jerk chicken. She decides to incorporate traditional spices like allspice and scotch bonnet peppers, but also throws in some honey for a hint of sweetness.

Third in the lineup is Rasheed, who pulls Greece and is given the challenge of making souvlaki - essentially grilled skewers of meat. He decides to make lamb souvlaki and marinates it in a Mediterranean blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Finally, Shannon draws Korea and is assigned to make bulgogi - a marinated beef dish. She opts for a blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and ginger for her marinade.

With their dishes planned and prepared, the pitmasters fire up their grills and get to work. The judges - Kevin Bludso, Melissa Cookston, and Moe Cason - are impressed with the creativity and flavors of each dish. They particularly enjoy Shannon's tender and flavorful bulgogi, as well as Rasheed's perfectly cooked lamb souvlaki.

As the judges deliberate, the pitmasters reflect on their journey throughout the competition. Bubba shares that the experience has reminded him of his love for barbecue and how it has brought his family together over the years. Leslie admits that she has learned a lot about herself and her cooking skills, and Rasheed expresses gratitude for the opportunity to showcase his unique perspective on barbecue.

In the end, the judges announce that Shannon has won the challenge with her delicious bulgogi. However, they also note that all of the pitmasters performed admirably and that the competition is getting tighter as the remaining contestants continue to impress with their skills and creativity.

Tune in to The American Barbecue Showdown to see the pitmasters tackle their next culinary challenge and vie for the grand prize.
