St. Louis, MO—April 5, 2022—The new season of Steven Raichlen’s Project Fire, an exploration of how we grill today, takes a decidedly local flavor. Set in its “first-ever urban setting,” season four was shot entirely in St. Louis at Union Station. The St. Louis season premieres Saturday, April 16, 11:30 am, on Nine PBS.
Raichlen’s guests in St. Louis include some of the city’s top chefs and pitmasters along with television personalities and social media influencers.

A recurring segment, Project Fire Mystery Box, where Raichlen receives a mystery ingredient and then spontaneously creates a recipe on the set, is back. Other episodes in the St. Louis season includes game day grilling, wagyu demystified, sandwiches, and even a breakfast episode. Meats sizzling on the grill include rib “wings,” turkey “ribs,” buffalo brisket burnt ends, and a tasty beef tenderloin in a salt crust wrapped in wine-soaked cloth and cooked on embers.
