Destination America crews head to Backyard Bistro

Backyard Bistro in Raleigh is holding a free party on Tuesday starting at 4:45 p.m. to coincide with a shoot there by cable network Destination America.

The party sounds like a blast – free food including a 125-pound pig, beer-can chicken, smoked chicken wings, Italian sausage, kielbasa, grilled salmon and deep fried desserts. 

The shoot is for a yet-to-be named barbecue grilling series set to air in November or December on the new network.

“Our goal of the show is to feature over-the-top BBQs and we searched for the best and Backyard Bistro’s name kept popping up,” Janice McDonald, the show’s field producer, said in a press release.

Note: The cable network's executives have asked that no team jerseys be worn during filming. So dress appropriately.
