We don’t think it’s a stretch to say there’s no better food than well barbecued meat. Someone taking the time to cook pork or beef or chicken to perfect succulent smoked deliciousness is an amazing culinary gift. That’s the topic Barbecue explores, except this documentary blows the scale out to examine international barbecue culture. Just in the short trailer, cooks from every inhabited continent make an appearance, all of them talking about the community barbecue creates and fosters. Even if the food isn’t exactly the same, everyone’s experience with it is, since having a good time with friends and food isn’t something that’s separated by borders or language. And we realize that’s sappy to say out loud, but it’s also the truth, and it’s a truth that Barbecue hopes to illustrate.
