Texas-style barbecue is, of course, the finest in the world. The best of this emerges from my father-in-law’s backyard pit.

But other barbecue methods, with the exception of Memphis-style, are edible, if not enjoyable. Among them is the asado style of the southern cone of South America. Barbecue dinners in this style, When on Earth informs us:
