barbecue tradition

Outdoor cooking ritual

A barbecue tradition is an established custom or practice surrounding outdoor cooking over fire or smoke.

These traditions often involve specific techniques, recipes, or rituals passed down through families or regions: Our barbecue tradition calls for slow-smoking the brisket overnight.

Regional barbecue traditions—Texas, Carolina, Kansas City—inspire fierce loyalty and debate over sauces, woods, and cuts of meat.
