Limited Docu-Series – Release Planned for 2026

Feeding America: The Ultimate Smoker & Grill Tour is a six-part docu-series plus a live July 4th finale in Washington, D.C., following Trace “The Rib Whisperer” Arnold and his legendary Ultimate Smoker & Grill Rig as they travel cross-country. Each stop on the tour transforms into a community event, blending barbecue spectacle, tributes to veterans and first responders, and heartfelt storytelling from the people who make each town unique.

At its core, the series is about more than food; it’s about service, connection, and American spirit. From Southern BBQ traditions to Northern industrial heartlands, the journey captures the nation’s diversity region by region, culminating in unification through an apolitical environment, providing free meals, and ending with a massive cookout celebration on the National Mall in DC., for celebrating America’s 250th birthday.

The Ultimate Smoker & Grill Rig becomes both a stage and a symbol of tradition, generosity, and unity through acceptance, inclusivity, and mutual respect. While the finale in D.C. serves as the payoff, the real heart of the project lies in the journey—a rolling celebration of connecting through food, rebuilding our unified community, and showcasing the true, multifaceted American culture.

With its mix of cooking, culture, and community service, Feeding America appeals to BBQ enthusiasts, fans of unscripted documentaries, and anyone inspired by stories of service and tradition.

It’s a cross-country road trip with a bigger mission: to bring all Americans together, one meal at a time.
