BBQ (and grilling) is not only popular in Canada, it’s favored all over the world. Keep reading, to learn more about some of the regional practices that might be new to you. Honestly, there’s lots to consider.
Asado
Asado is a pure, simple form of cooking popular in countries like Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. It’s all about taking grilling back to the basics: meat, fire and the grill. Asado cooking usually includes plenty of grilled vegetables as well as delicious chimichurri… a red or green sauce common to the area.
Tandoor
A tandoor is a clay oven used in Indian cuisine to prepare a variety of dishes. Tandoori barbecue can be quite spicy, as are many other Indian dishes. Because of this, it tends to be served with rice, naan bread and raita (a yogurt-based sauce similar to a creamy salsa) to cool things down.
Gogigui
Gogigui is a Korean barbecue dish featuring thinly-sliced chicken prepared using a marinade made with soy sauce, ginger as well as sesame oil. The chicken is then grilled on a small tabletop grill. You can also use the marinade to barbecue sliced beef, a regional dish called bulgogi.
Mangal
Mangal is a broad style of cooking, popular from Eastern Europe all the way through Asia, named for the type of grill used for cooking. Because this style is so widespread, there are a number of possible variations. Most commonly, a kebab-style dish prepared with tasty and nutritious grilled vegetables.
American BBQ
American Barbecue is quite different from state to state. Typically, it includes chicken, beef, or pork slathered with sauce and cooked to perfection on a grill. Exactly what kind of sauce depends on where you’re at. For example, you can expect sweet caramelized sauces in Kentucky, and tomato-based sweet or peppery sauces in Kansas City.
These are five different BBQ and grilling options from across the globe. When you’re in the mood for something on the unique side, why not experiment in the kitchen? Chances are, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you come up with!

Tandoori BBQ is delicious! Spicy is the way to go!
I haven’t tried the Gogigui Korean barbecue dishes, but it sounds really tasty, thx, will have to check it out.
That Korean Gogigui dish sounds delicious and the marinade sounds wonderful for beef or chicken. These are some very interesting ways of BBQing and cooking.The Tandoori would be too spicy for me I think but I would still try it if given a chance.
I love Tandori Chicken.Took me forever to find the baker,but well worth the trouble.
I love American barbeque…
Gogigui sounds like something I would like

I’ve only ever tried American BBQ and I must say that I absolutely love it especially with the sticky BBQ sauce
The Gogigui caught my eye. That one sounds like one I would love. Thank you for sharing.
Can’t wait to start BBQ’ing!
I am extremely picky but the Gogigui sounds good as I love ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil… when you say table top grill is that just like a electric frying pan? I’m thinking that slats would have the meat falling through if they are in thin slices.
I would love to try Mangal BBQ. It sounds delicious.
These all sound interesting. I have not heard of a few of them before. I know Tandoori and that’s one we like as well as plain old traditional American.
They all sound so good. The Mangal style is my fave with the skewers and grilled veggies
