"Licence to Grill" addresses summer backyard entertaining and barbecue fares such as hamburgers, steaks, kebabs, leg of lamb, sides of fish, and grilled desserts. Knight Enterprises also produced a one-hour winter BBQ special spin-off from the series. License to Grill featured Rob Rainford, a Canadian chef. Shown on the US cooking channel, at the height of its popularity, he was featured on various US networks. The original show ended after 5 seasons in 2007. In 2016, a 6th season was launched on the Gusto network, with Rob Rainford hosting again.
