Grilling is one of the most popular American activities. Given its prevalence in the United States, it is not surprising that a special day has been designated to honour the barbecue tradition.
Even though the concept of barbecuing did not originate in the United States, the practise has become an integral element of American culture. The history of barbecuing in the United States dates back to colonial times, when celebrations were insufficient without a barbecue. After the Revolutionary War was won and the first Missouri River bridge was constructed, barbecue celebrations erupted across the nation. Even American presidents are renowned for hosting enormous barbecues in times of triumph and on special occasions. In fact, George Washington’s diary is said to have mentioned a three-day barbecue event! That’s how profoundly barbecue is ingrained in American history!
President Lyndon B. Johnson inaugurated the White House barbecue tradition when he hosted the first-ever cookout at the presidential residence. The food served at the occasion included delicious barbecue wings prepared in the Texas style.
