A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I used to work down the street from another building that had a small cafeteria, but on Fridays the chef would set up a big grill outside and cook up sausages, hot dogs, burgers, chicken, and grilled veggies. It was just like going to a backyard BBQ. Those were some good Friday lunches when we made it over there.
There are a couple of "real" BBQ places, but none that I know of that would have sufficient lawn for lawn chairs. There are plenty of grill-your-own places here, most of which are Korean-style BBQ, but some of which let you grill other things. As I think about it, I don't think I've seen the type of lawn chair (like oven "fabric" style) that I was used to here; it's all just plastic molded chairs these days.
I always wonder how culturally authentic these gimmicky restaurants are. Like realistically hardly anybody in America grills food in the backyard. I do it maybe 3x/year and only in the summer. I've seen my dad multiple times grill with snow on the ground, but he was an outlier.

Not so sure about that, grilling is a regular and widespread thing where I live in the US.
American living in Japan here and I grill weekly on my Weber over charcoal. When I lived in Texas, we grilled whenever we could, basically. In the midwest, my grandparents had a Jenair for when the weather was bad and grilled at least once a week. They were rich, though, so there's that.
I live in Canada and I bbq’ed dinner a couple days ago. We didn’t eat outside, of course, since it’s -10, but grilling is still a go-to method of cooking.
I guess it's not the backyard, but grilling at tailgating is super common.

We do it all the time in the balkans, weather permitting. There's probably plenty of other regions where it's common. I don't know where people get the idea that bbq in the backyard is somehow an American invention.
God I wish
South Korea has American restaurants
Lots of the places where be traveled have American restaurants. They are a fascinating look into what people think is American. I love it
