Expanding the Borders of BBQ

Across the country, more and more barbecue aficionados are seeking out globally influenced flavors and grilling traditions like Brazilian churrasco. In its 2024 What’s Hot Culinary Forecast, the National Restaurant Association ranked “International BBQ” number three on its top 10 overall trends list. Catching fire are styles ranging from Chilean and Argentinean asado to Japanese yakitori to Korean barbecue, says Helen Jane Hearn, the association’s senior director for enterprise programs.
