How to Celebrate National BBQ Month
May is National Barbecue Month! It’s the time of year that celebrates the beginning of the “official” grilling season (even though many of you grill all year long)!
In this article, we look at the history of Barbecue Month and how to celebrate it.
The History of Barbecue
Barbecue is a centuries-old way of cooking meat and vegetables, and it’s time to celebrate it!
While people have been cooking meat over an open flame forever, the history of the grills isn’t quite so straightforward.
Common lore says that when Columbus discovered the Americas, he noticed natives roasting meat over a wooden grill. And it appears he enjoyed the smoky flavor.
