This week on "Getting Grilled with Curtis Stone"…Maks Chmerkovskiy goes deep into his story from growing up in Ukraine and moving to The United States to becoming a champion dancer and joining "Dancing With The Stars." Maks explains why he originally said "no" to the producers and opens up in detail about life behind the scenes as a dancer on the show. Maks is equally candid about his famous stint as The Bachelor… in Ukraine! The gentlemen also discuss the Russo-Ukrainian War, as Maks spent time on the ground there. Finally, Maks discusses his latest gig as judge on "So You Think You Can Dance." Thanks for listening! You can also watch the entire interview, plus a whole lot of cooking, games, and some wine drinking on HSN and QVC streaming
