8 Fun Facts About BBQ

BBQ is a fascinating subject for us here at the best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks.  It's our passion on a daily basis, so how could we resist exploring the subject?  Below are a few fun facts that you probably didn't know. 

1.  The Oxford English dictionary states that the word barbecue was first used in the English language by William Dampier, the "buccaneer, pirate, captain in the navy" in 1697.  

2.  This subject is debated, but many language historians believe the word originally came from "barbacoa," meaning "sacred fire pit" in the language of Taino, used on the West Indian island of Hispaniola in the 17th century.




3.  People love bbq so much, the entire month of May was officially proclaimed to be National Barbecue Month by the National Barbecue Association. 


4.  Barbecue sauce has been around for hundreds of years, and it originally contained mainly vinegar and pepper.  Now, the most common ingredient you will find in sauces is garlic, followed by brown sugar.


5.  The most popular bbq sauce flavors are:  
hickory, mesquite, and honey.

6.  The most common woods used for grilling flavor are:  mesquite, hickory, maple, cherry, pecan, apple, and oak.  

7.  The most popular holidays to eat bbq are (in order):  
4th of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day.  What better place to enjoy your bbq on these holidays than Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!



We believe EVERY MONTH should be Barbecue Month, and inside our doors, IT IS.  We have our own house-made sauce recipe and our smoking process perfected.  Come on by soon and give our delicious Lake of the Ozarks bbq restaurant a try.  We know you'll like what you taste!
