Barbecuing, that all-American pastime, is the perfect opportunity to get together with family and friends for some good food. Sounds simple and fun? But what the Barbecue Games episode of Hungry Games proved is that there’s a lot about barbecue you didn’t know, like how smoke makes you crave food more, and how the person serving it can also make you like it a lot more. Besides the psychology, host Richard Blais also revealed some facts, statistics and history behind barbecue, a form of cooking that may even be the oldest of them all.
