The Origin of Barbecue
What comes to mind when someone says the word "barbecue"? Is it the act of cooking or the food itself? (Possibly, you immediately think of our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant & smokehouse!)
This word is both a noun and a verb and most likely makes your mouth start watering every time that you hear it. Have you ever wondered who first came up with this incredible way of preparing food? Today the Barn-B-Que Smokehouse in Lake Ozark has some interesting information for you about the origin of BBQ. Thanks to these beginnings, today we are able to create the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to enjoy.
Barbecue History Lesson
The English word "barbecue" comes from the Spanish word "barbacoa". Word historians believe that barbacoa is derived from "barabicu" from the language of the Arawak people of the Caribbean as well as the Timucua people of Florida. Some say the word can be traced back to Haiti and translated as a "framework of sticks set upon posts." (Does that maybe sound like early "grilling" to you?)
After Columbus landed in the Americas, his crew discovered the people there roasting meat over a grill made up of a wooden framework resting on sticks above a fire. The combination of the flames and the smoke the fire made surrounded the meat and gave it a fantastic flavor.
While the standard spelling in our English language is "barbecue", it is also often referred to as "barbeque", "bar-b-que", "bar-b-q", and most commonly, good ol' quick and simple "BBQ." It doesn't really matter how you spell it. What truly matters is how it tastes!

Similar to our sweet sauce but slightly thinner with more vinegar. - Mustard Sauce

Our take on a mayonnaise, horseradish, and vinegar sauce. If you've never had one like this, you've got to give it a try. - Tennessee Hot
This one has a sweet start with a little heat on the back end, but not too much.
