For starters I, the webmaster of this site, did not write the article. Pat Kettles, a wine columnist of the Anniston Star did.

Second, I think I need to defend Pat a bit here. I am not sure if you are from Argentina or another Spanish-speaking country, but terminology can change between countries.

The word “parilla” does mean barbeque. It is more commonly used in Spain, in which case many times you will hear Spanish speakers in NYC for instance say “la parilla española” when talking specifically abou the one from Spain.

Second, “parilla” has become a general term Latin-American use to refer to a traditional North-American bbq.

“Asado” is in actuality a open air bbq like you say, specifically common in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, etc. Still, the author in all fairness is writing for a English Spanish audience in Alabama. In the United States people don’t in casual conversation or when artiuclating a idea with words specify open air, coal, gas, steel, etc.

The author should be aware of these cultural difference.

For record, I did do my research before posting this article and happen to a pretty good Spanish speaker…
