Susie Bulloch had home court advantage going into the new Food Network competition \u201cPitmasters,\u201d which brought top barbecue cooks to southern Utah for a weeklong live fire-cooking battle. But that doesn\u2019t mean it was all smooth sailing for the founder of the online BBQ empire Hey Grill, Hey. <\/p>\n

In fact, during the premiere episode, Bulloch\u2019s team was one of a few to have grill temperature issues as they navigated a 10-hour cooking challenge in a remote area with an elevation of over 5,000 feet. <\/p>\n

Being close to home did bring at least one major benefit early on, though: the ability to withstand altitude sickness.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at how Bulloch fared in the first round \u2014 and if she\u2019s moving forward in the competition. <\/p>\n

\u2018This is not Mississippi\u2019<\/h3>\n

\u201cPitmasters\u201d set up camp in a remote spot near St. George for filming. <\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome, Pitmasters, to the absolute middle of nowhere,\u201d host Andrew Zimmern told the cooks as they arrived.<\/p>\n

In the mountains \u2014 with an elevation of 5,243 feet, according to the show \u2014 the teams were required to build their own barbecue pits and get set up for a week of intense competition. <\/p>\n

The first challenge of the competition was to create a family-style BBQ platter that could feed the show\u2019s judges and the competitors. The teams had 10 hours to create two proteins and at least one side.<\/p>\n

Throughout the challenge, cooking outdoors at that elevation proved to be a struggle for some of the competitors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not Mississippi,\u201d Leslie Roark Scott, who comes from a family with a deep history of barbecuing, said with a laugh. At one point, she actually had to hand the reins over to her son, Jacob, while she received assistance from a medic. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis altitude kicked my tail this morning,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

For Bulloch, a St. George resident, the altitude wasn\u2019t a big deal. But the combination of elevation and weather did end up creating a dilemma in the kitchen. <\/p>\n

A struggle in the kitchen \u2014 and popular mac and cheese<\/h3>\n

At one point during the hourslong challenge, Bulloch and her friend and teammate Christie Vanover couldn\u2019t get the internal temperature of their candied pork belly to rise. According to Bulloch\u2019s post on her website about the episode, Vanover made the decision to use the Texas Crutch method, which involves wrapping up the meat. <\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, that save might be the whole reason this dish made it to the judges at all,\u201d Bulloch wrote. <\/p>\n

For their family platter, Bulloch and Vanover also prepared beef ribs, a green salad and macaroni and cheese \u2014 which is one of Bulloch\u2019s specialties. <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t do a ton of high-end chef-y food,\u201d Bulloch said during the episode. \u201cA lot of my stuff pulls from the backyard \u2014 what I grew up eating, what I love serving my family. Yes, this is an extreme scenario, but the food that we\u2019re cooking, you could probably actually recreate in your own backyard.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bulloch noted that her smoked mac and cheese recipe is highly ranked online.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you actually Googled smoked mac and cheese, my recipe is at the top of the internet,\u201d she said during the episode.<\/p>\n

For the first round of competition, though, she chose to make her smoked poblano shells and white cheddar mac and cheese. <\/p>\n

Once the 10 hours were up, the nine teams gathered at a table to eat each other\u2019s food \u2014 and receive feedback from the expert judges. <\/p>\n

Bulloch, who is the youngest of six kids, joked that it was \u201ca normal family dinner\u201d for her.<\/p>\n

While the judges praised Bulloch and Vanover for using different techniques and cooking styles, they noted it wasn\u2019t their favorite preparation. In the end, the team ended up placing in the bottom two, along with Leslie Roark Scott and her son, Jacob, who had good flavor but undercooked chicken.<\/p>\n

The judges noted that the scores were close all around, but ultimately eliminated the mother-and-son duo from the competition. Grecia and Esaul Ramos, a husband-and-wife team from Texas, won the first challenge.<\/p>\n

The next episode, which airs Monday, tasks the eight remaining teams with utilizing three different live-fire techniques in their cooking: underground, on the coals and hanging above the fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cPitmasters\u201d airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. MDT on Food Network. It is available for streaming the following day on HBO Max. <\/i><\/p>\n
