Grilled, Smoked...or Barbecued?

If there's one thing I've learned up here, it's that people say "barbecue" when really they mean "grill."


I went to a free baseball game "barbecue" with the law school, and I went up to kids working and said "Oh...where's the brisket?"


I got a blank look as a response.


"Brisket? We just have veggie burgers, hamburgers or hot dogs."


"I thought this was a barbecue."


"It is!"


le sigh.


This was not a one time thing either. It's happened several times since. Oregonians...we call that a "COOKOUT."
