Netflix & Grill!

We at Vuurbak have long been convinced that barbecuing is more than preparing food and we have regularly experienced it ourselves around the Vuurbak.

Based on our drive to barbecue really and with attention and to enjoy everything that is possible around fire and grilling, we would like to bring this impressive documentary Barbecue to your attention.

This Australian documentary made by Matthew Salleh and Rose Tucker tells the story of how an everyday ritual is shared by cultures around the world as a way to celebrate community, tradition and friendship.

Barbecuing is more than just grilling a piece of meat. It is a ritual that is sometimes performed almost religiously all over the world. For some it is a path to salvation. It is the pride of different cultures. And the stories told around the fires become a way to bring the world together. This comprehensive cultural exploration uses grilling meat as a common thread to explore the mindsets and values ​​of groups of people around the world.

During a journey through a dozen different countries, you speak to the locals about their detailed cooking methods and what the ancestral art of the grill ritual means to them.

The documentary impressively shows how barbecue connects people in different cultures from Texas to the Syrian border and stories, dishes and rituals are passed on and repeated.

Share the fire from Vuurbak and share your rituals, stories and dishes.
