🌍 Origin & History

Modern barbecue has embraced vegetables as main-event grill items, not just sides. The intense dry heat of a charcoal grill caramelizes natural sugars in vegetables, creating flavors you simply cannot get from an oven. Bell peppers, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms all develop a smoky sweetness that makes sugar completely unnecessary. This is real food, simply prepared.
