I don't disagree.

In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn't cook a ribeye this way. It's just different in this convo.

Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.

Who am I kidding? I just like good food.
