Every year on May 16th we celebrate National BBQ Day and with that one of the most popular foods, culinary style and food activities the world over. Canada Takeout dedicated May National BBQ month, highlighting the origins of barbecue and it’s ability to bring us together around an open fire (or grill) to enjoy each others company and indulge in bold, sweet and smoky flavor of great BBQ.
