Barbecue food usually includes hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, chicken wings, steaks, etc., with various salads, mashed potatoes, corn and other side dishes, as well as beer, soft drinks and other beverages. The venue for barbecues is usually one's own backyard, where everyone sits around the grill, grilling and chatting, happily together.

The rise of backyard barbecues is closely related to the historical development of the United States.
