When I think about the best way to celebrate my dad or my husband, or any dad for that matter, my first thought is Bar-B-Q! Or Grilling! What man doesn’t want a home-cooked meal consisting primarily of grilled meat hot off the BBQ? Then the question arises, is there is a difference between barbequing and grilling? I did a little research and the answer is YES, there is a very big difference! Prior to writing this, I have used the words interchangeably, but not any longer! Generally speaking, barbeque refers to “low and slow” while grilling means “hot and fast”.
Grilled Meat –‘Hot & Fast’
Best barbeque foods include ribs, brisket, and pork shoulder, cooked on low heat over wood coals, for a long period of time to soak up the smoke, seal in the juices and create a moist and tender piece of meat. Smoking your meat also falls under this definition. Most people are more familiar with grilling; options for grilling are steaks, burgers, hotdogs, chicken, seafood and vegetables, hot temperature and fast cooking time – inches above gas flames or live coals.
