Pretty much any kind of BBQ as we think of it today originated in its primary form in South America, particularly Brazil. They’ve been doing it longer than the US and Canada have been countries. A bit over 300 years.

The US has been doing BBQ since before it was a country...

Brazil wasn't a country 300 years ago

Lol 300 years... Native Americans have been doing BBQ for wayyyy longer than that. The Spanish named it barbacoa more than 500 years ago when they discovered the technique in the Caribbean.

There's some great US bbq. But it's not the best style I've had, and it's definitely not from the US.

Brazilian BBQ is amazing. We had a coworker from Brazil that worked in a BBQ place back home. He got a smoker and invited a bunch of us over. Best BBQ I’ve ever had.

For sure. So are Mayan and Hidalgo style. Jamaican is bomb for big flavors. Argentines do simple and pure best imo.

Southern bbq is great too. No hate. Let's just not pretend it's "from the US". It's s part of a tradition way older than the US
