Carson Kressley has just issued a friendly nudge to viewers to catch up on the sizzling competition that is BBQ Brawl on Food Network. In a recent Instagram update, the Emmy-winning style expert and judge reminded fans that if they haven’t tuned in yet, they can stream the first half of the current season on Discovery+ and HBO Max before jumping back into new episodes.
Catching Up Made Simple
In his Instagram caption, Kressley wrote, “Hopefully you’re all caught up on the latest season of BBQ Brawl on @foodnetwork! If not you can stream the first half of the season on @discoveryplus and @hbomax.” The post featured a snapshot of the host on set, blazer on point and signature grin in place, underscoring his knack for combining flair with foodie enthusiasm.
For those who missed the premiere or the midway point, Discovery+ and HBO Max currently carry episodes one through six. Both platforms allow viewers to binge or pick up where they left off—ideal for anyone who wants to brush up on standout grillers, secret sauce reveals, and Kressley’s playful on-camera quips before the next round of charred ribs and brisket showdowns.
Kressley’s Instagram Teasers
Kressley has been using his @carsonkressley handle to build buzz around the competition all season long. On March 22, he posted:
“Tune in tonight @foodnetwork at 9/8c for an all new #BBQ Brawl. Tonight me and my taste buds have a ‘day off’ and the captains will do a little judging (even though their outfits aren’t quite as cute as ours!). But don’t worry, I’ll be back in time for the final taste (and looking tasteful)!”
That cheeky caption was paired with a behind-the-scenes image of Kressley and fellow hosts surveying a smoking lineup of grill stations. He followed up on April 1, teasing twin episodes with another Instagram post: “TWO Brand new back to back episodes of #BBQBrawl tonight at 9 and 10pm on @foodnetwork and streaming on @hbomax @discoveryplus!!! You’re welcome!”
These throwback posts underscore how Kressley has blended his design sensibility—famously showcased on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy—with a genuine love for bold flavors and friendly competition.
From Queer Eye To Queso And Brisket
Carson Kressley first rose to fame as a member of the Fab Five on Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, winning an Emmy in 2004 for Outstanding Reality Program. Since then, he’s parlayed his design instincts into a multi-platform career as a style consultant, author and television host. In recent years he’s become a familiar face on cooking competition shows, bringing a dash of color and a taste for theatrical reveals to series like Miss America’s Outstanding Teen and now BBQ Brawl.
According to his Wikipedia profile, Kressley joined BBQ Brawl as a judge in 2021, lending his trademark humor and sharp eye for presentation to each episode. He often highlights plating techniques and color contrasts alongside standard taste tests—proof that for him, a dish’s visual appeal matters as much as its smoke ring.
With fresh showdowns still on the horizon, Kressley’s reminder offers both newcomers and longtime fans a roadmap to get up to speed. Whether you’re streaming on your couch or tuning in live for the next fiery Cook-Off, the season’s first half is only a few clicks away.
His social feeds will continue to feature recipe highlights, guest appearances and style commentary—so keep an eye on @carsonkressley for behind-the-scenes peeks and extra motivation to fire up the grill.
