NOTE: Barbecue vs. Grilling


While I am on the topic of barbecue, let’s talk about the difference between barbecuing and grilling.

The event where meat is grilled is called a barbecue, so that’s where I think it all got muddled, but I don’t want to be the poindexer who invites friends to a “grilling” on my patio.
