The barbecue buffet is a traditional dish with its roots in the cuisine of the Southern Cone of Latin America, particularly in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile. This preparation, which combines different types of grilled meats and side dishes, reflects the cultural and social importance of the barbecue in these regions. Although the term "barbecue buffet" may vary in name from country to country, in many parts of Latin America it is simply known as "asado" or "parrillada," referring to the method of cooking the meat outdoors over embers or in special pots. In other areas, such as Mexico, the term "barbacoa" is used, which, although different in technique, shares the essence of slow-cooking the meat to enhance its flavor and texture. This type of dish is often the star at family gatherings and celebrations, representing more than just a meal, but a moment of gathering and tradition.
