Quotes

  • “Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start.” – Anthony Bourdain
  • “Being so closely related to the South, barbecue was part of segregation and helped defeat it.”- Bobby Seale
  • “There are two different things: there’s grilling, and there’s a barbecue. Grilling is when people say, ‘We’re going to turn up the heat, make it really hot and sear a steak, sear a burger, cook a chicken.’ Barbecue is going low and slow.” – Guy Fieri
  • “There’s nothing that can replicate the smoky flavor of char, so when I’ve got the hankering for it, I tell my wife that I’m taking care of dinner. I have three different types of barbecues – a coal, gas and smoker – so I can experiment a lot.” – Guy Fieri
  • “Golf is my passion, and so is great barbecue.” – John Daly
  • “In America, diner food or roadside barbecue is the best road food, but I am not a fan of eating while driving – too messy.” – Jose Andres
  • “Barbecue is an incredibly democratic food. It’s cheaper than McDonald’s in many places and far more delicious. On the other hand, the only reason it can be that cheap is they use commodity hogs, the worst of the worst, which is – you know, it’s an industry kind of ruining North Carolina.” – Michael Pollan
  • “My favorite moments? Where it’s all going swimmingly, the sun’s out and I’ve got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.” – Bear Grylls
  • “I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.” – Dale Earnhardt Jr.

“Obviously, everyone’s different, but I love just settling down and having a barbecue with my friends at the house.” – Harry Kane
