Barbecue Isn't Just an American Tradition
Barbecue is a global event with roots around the world. Simply put, it involves wood smoke and time in ways that grilling doesn't. Let's explore.

Growing in popularity, Asian barbecue includes a Chinese BBQ pork butt called Chinese Char Siu. Also look for Korean Jeyuk Bokkeum, a spicy pork BBQ, as well as Thai grilled pork skewers.
