He's not wrong. Black cookouts are the only hostage situations you actually WANT to be in. My great grandmother thought that any child that weighed less than a small planet was being abused and starved. 🤣🤣😂😂
It was similar with my late Italian-American grandmother and great-aunts. Ray Romano has a classic stand-up routine about this. It's online with the title "how to deal with Italian mothers."
It's a cultural thing within the black community that as a white person, if you're invited to the cookout, which means you are trusted and you're considered part of the family.
As a white dude invited to a black bbq. Its an honor. You must be invited and was told that i am invited back, so i go every time because you never say no lol. The second time i went they had a funny family convo about what other white people would get invited and they were like Prince Harry for sure.
That “Prince Harry invited to the cookout” conversation happens at a lot of black cookouts. 😂 Black Americans have a 6th and 7th sense about these things, for obvious reasons. Maybe an 8th, 9th,man’s 10th sense too.
If you are white and get invited to the cookout, it means we trust you and you are now family. Daz and Gaynor are definitely invited to my family's cookout in ATL!
Yeah, that's part of the problem. We have too much trust for these folks who either want to destroy us or don't mind sitting around watching it happen.
We do not use these interchangeably everywhere. Local to me, this is a cookout and barbecue is a style of cooking. I found this out the difficult way when I was in another state and invited to a barbecue. Man, my mouth was watering for a day, had a hard time sleeping, just thinking about having barbecue. I show up to find that it's nothing but a dang cookout. Disappointed for certain.
My first black cookout was when I was 8. The only white people there were my older brother and me. Everyone was at least 10 years older than me. Went many, many, MANY times. They were mostly @ the farm. I learned how to play Dominoes, Spades & Hearts. I was the mascot. Plus Miss Kitty fed me all of the goodies I wasn't allowed @ home. That was back in the 70's.
Black man from KC. Bones are dominoes in my family. Also, if you ever come to Missouri I'll take you to a family cookout with good people good food good music and good times. The hood would absolutely love Daz and his no nonsense attitude.
Yeah, I guess it can mean both but I've only heard it as dominos. I thought it was because dominos use to be made out of actual bone and the high end ones were made out of ivory.
As someone that’s been blessed to be the one invited to the a black cookout it’s awesome. To be invited means they trust you and they know you will vibe around their family great. Now i know how to play spades so I would’ve been good and I would’ve known to stay away from the dice game because I’m terrible and I would lose a whole months salary in a few minutes 😅. This video was funny and ohh so true.
Also in the south if you say bbq, you better be smoking pork ribs. When I moved here I made this mistake of using bbq instead of saying we would be grilling.
A good way to think about it; not everyone is gonna be this way. Cookout is typically when you're away. You go to a park that has grills and tables, out in the woods or a field somewhere. BBQ is typically at someone's house. I know this because I'm so deep in the South that we learn from a young age to always have your boots on. I don't got my boots on, smack me in the back of the head and tell me to put my boots on before a gator bites my pecker off!
@@zgdafzgdaf4264 Exactly. BBQ in most Southern states is meat cooked with a sauce or sometimes a rub. Cookout usually just refers to cooking and eating outdoors.
@@dogsoldiertoo1099 Correctamundo! Cookouts are hamburgers & hotdogs. Barbecues (in the south, at least), are specifically pulled pork, babybacks, brisket, chicken, whatever people make.
Living in the south, I've heard the term cookout used more by black families and BBQ used more by white families, but it also can be synonymous with each other, cookout, bbq basically the same thing.
OB Daz, I have watched a dozen black people react to this very video. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has thought "bones" meant dominoes. You are not alone in that! It can also mean dice, but the majority of black people I've seen have thought "bones" meant dominoes. You're not wrong!
I'm just a pale skinny white boy up in Canada, but to me, "bones" has always had more than one "meaning"... because, both dominoes, dice, and other more ancient games used actual animal bones to make the devices for certain game pieces.. I was surprised first time I saw this and read comments that so many, almost all, had no idea that it could mean both, and/or why the term bones was used. kinda like the a piano's keyboard can be referred to as the 'ivories', as in 'tickling the ivories', means playing the piano.. because, those keys were, through most of piano's history, made out of ivory.. this stuff ain't rocket science.. just common sense. lol.✌🏼🇨🇦
So, in another video, Zach revealed that his buddy that invited him to the cookout, set him up in that spades game and purposefully gave him all those good cards, just to mess with him.
I remember my British friend invited his parents who were in town to my family BBQ We said yall coming to the cookout.....I never heard so much swearing from the Brits in my life....they could not believe how good the food was ...they said now imagine this being in the UK..LOL
What he said about the potato salad is true. If two ladies come up to you and ask you to choose which is better, just say both are good. The last thing you want to do is upset the aunties about food. There will be no happy ending for anyone.
My stepmother was Southern black and she’d just start cooking tomato sauce in a huge pot on Thursday to make the homemade barbecue sauce for Saturday night. I think my father married her for the food
Barbeque is a noun in much of America. It represents a variety of ways to smoke and cook meats in a variety of methods with different meats, cuts, rubs, and sauces.

Cheers 🍻
The term originates in the Black community due to my people wanting not to use the term picnic. Picnic was used during slavery when our enslaved ancestors were being sold on the auction block. "Picking a N...." So we really started using "Cookout" in the 90s. However, if we're barbecuing, we may call it bbq depending on the typ of bbq gathering. But per usual, everyone is now using the term cookout.
As a black American, he is absolutely right. Aint nothing he said in this video is not true. When you come to a cookout With blacks, we treat you like family. You gonna have a good time? Do you go to eat to you? D*** near pass out and then you gonna take some home with you to eat for leftovers? What you gonna have a good time, especially if you're from the South, it's 80 than goals beyond that, but it's just something that traditionally we accommodate for. So even though he said it joking way. Everything he said is very true.
Funny enough im a black guy that was actually invited to a Mexican cookout. Quite a similar experience yet different. All the food was spicy, I danced with my homies abuela, and it was some intense volleyball games being played. Great times 😂😂😂
You guys are invited to my black family's cookout. You'll have a great time. My diverse family consists of Blacks, two White brother in laws and Hispanic people.
We (most southern Black people) call them cookouts. BBQ is a flavor (like potato chips) or the meat from a smoker/grill. The actual gathering is called a cookout.
I remember when I first saw this, it’s great! The Fish Fry one is great, too. The first time Daz told the black Atlanta nightclub story (on another video), I heard the needle on the vinyl scratch sound effect when he and his friend walked in lol
I did the same thing. Was looking for an underground rave way back when. And you'd just get out of you car, walk around, and try to follow the bass. We found the bass. It was an afro world beat party. It was like a western saloon. The music didn't stop, but heads definitely turned. Long story short, we never got to where we thought we were, just down the road. But we definitely got to the right spot. Amazing night.
As a man who was the only white guy (mostly) at pick up basketball games when I was young, there is something incredibly liberating about being in that position. Every good thing you do is applauded. It's great.
Oh God, this is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂 my chest hurts from laughing especially the end . He described it to a T, glad he had a blast now he better prepare for the BD party 🎉
Mainly, BBQ is a way of preparing meat here--as you know. A cookout is outside and can have BBQ, but will typically have burgers, hot dogs, chicken, vegetables on the grill that used to always be a charcoal grill. Then you would have side dishes--lots of side dishes--baked beans, salads of all kinds--but must have potato salads, macaroni salads (which are not mac and cheese), jello salads, fruit salads, garden salads, and lots more kinds of food. A visitor would often bring a dish for everyone (this is called "pot luck"), and could be anything really, including desserts, home-made ice cream, etc. You would eat outside, socialize, maybe swim in the pool if you had one, then do it all over again when dinner rolled around. Typically there would be another fire to roast marshmallows and on holidays, fireworks to set off and later--fireworks displays to attend (if you could make it there after all of the food and drinks). As kids we would catch "lightning bugs" (fireflies) and put them in a jar but release them later. Slept like a baby those nights.
There’s a fast food chain in North Carolina called Cook Out and the lines at the drive through are always around the corner. 40 flavors of milkshakes. Not “shakes.” *Milkshakes* 😂😂
When I hear BBQ, I think burgers, hot-dogs, bratwurst. Maybe simple chicken and ribs. Nothing special. When I hear cookout, you never know what food to expect - only that it's going to be served outdoors. Usually more care goes into the selection of the food. Often times there's some unique choices or a more cultural cuisine. Overall, I'd say cookouts are more endearing and just as much about the food as it is the party.
Thats a pretty good distinction. a cookout ain't hamburgers n shit. you getting mac n cheese, greens, bbq ribs, chicken, turkey legs, etc. beans. all kinda stuff and as you pointed out, outside.
Invited to “The Cookout” is a euphemism for a white person being cool enough to hang out with a Black Family. We love our family and our friends and we really go out at a cookout as a community. You lose your Black card if you can’t play Spade….You have to be invited though!
I’m a black American living in London. The first time I was invited to a barbecue I was disappointed that only sausages and hamburgers were served. I was used to the cookout the white guy described.
Reminds me of when I was with one of my black friends picking up his football gear from his college & we stopped at his grandparents house. We were sitting there chilling, talking & his grandpa was taking moonshine shots & offered me some. I took like 5-8 (I can’t remember) & was close to blackout. When we finally got in the car, we smoked a blunt & then I swiftly passed out the entire 2 hour drive back & my buddy had to shake me awake when we got back to my house💀 we had a helluva good conversation drinking that moonshine
You guys are invited to my BLACK Thanksgiving! We don't have only have black people at my Thanksgivings (in fact my brother-in-law is from Spain). But most black people do thanksgivings a little differently. First and foremost: most black families (ESPECIALLY if you live in the south) don't do stuffing. We do cornbread dressing, and I will tell you that every person who's tried my mother's cornbread dressing and gravy said they never wanna go back to stuffing! 2. Most of us do not do pumpkin pie. We do SWEET POTATO PIE! I honestly don't mind pumpkin pie, but don't expect it at any black persons Thanksgiving. And all due respect to Miss Patty Labelle and her pies, but if you want the best sweet potato pie, you will eat one baked from scratch. Everyone Will tell you that they are family does the best this or that. But I guarantee you that you'll have the best cornbread dressing with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce, collard greens (which we usually call "calla greens."), Mac & cheese, roast with gravy, and juicy turkey ever! AND, my mother sure does make a mean sweet potato pie! If you're interested, somehow we can connect on social media!
in my area NE, we call it a cookout - or a picnic -and my family is alarmingly White. a BBQ is a specific kind of meats being cooked in a specific way, involving the sauce, and a bigger event, perhaps even tickets being sold. but - don't get confused - you can BBQ *at* a cookout.
In the South in the USA, you have a cook-out with burgers, hotdogs, or chicken. A BBQ has large cuts of beef (preferably brisket) with the option of BBQ sauce. There will be potato salad, coleslaw, beans, and peach cobbler for dessert. 😅
In Miami I used to love to play spades in high school and I’ve only heard of bones when referring to dominoes. As a Caribbean latina that was a staple in the home. We had all kinds of dominoes and every get together someone would be playing with a beer in one hand. Cookouts to me is more of a large family get together where multiple people are cooking or bringing food. The best cookouts I ever went to were with my best friend and her family which were all Jamaican. The music the food and the environment is like no other. Also loved going to the Jamaican warehouse parties by key largo. I enjoyed being the only white puertorican female there, they all look astonished when a white girl with rhythm isn’t white American but from the Caribbean too. Cultures are similar which is what makes is so enjoyable.
In the Eastern U.S. the term barbecue (BBQ) is usually reserved for a type of meat cookout that has a specifically type of slow & low cooked meat of a peculiar spicy flavor of regional variants. Usually some type of BBQ sauce is slathered onto the meat during the cooking. Some sauce flavorings are spicy sweet, some more sour but all usually contain some type of mix of spicy tomato or mustard based sauce with vinegar, brown sugar, chili pepper, Paprika, cumin, salt, tobasco pepper base of spices. A cookout is still cooked outside on a grill but not necessarily with a slow cooked, spicy BBQ meat centerpiece i.e.- Hawaiian style chicken, an Italian style grilled shrimp or other quick and more generally cooked foods. The country side dishes are usually almost the same for a BBQ coockout or other type cookout. Mashed potatoes, green beans, cooked spinach, BBQ flavor baked beans, sliced cucumber & onions in a lightly sweet & salty vinaigrette, corn (on or off the cob), potato salad, macaroni & cheese, corn bread (regular or mexican), dinner rolls, egg salad and/or deviled eggs with a dash of paprika, etc... if fowl or pork is served, usually a light or dark butter/rue broth gravy is made from the drippings to go with the mashed potatoes. Also, at a cookout, you're much more likely to find other things being cooked on a BBQ slow grill besides the meat. Things like corn on the cob or baked potoato slathered in butter and wrapped tight in aluminum foil. A BBQ grill in the US is a specific type of grill that can hold lower temp, moist heat and smoke for long periods of time ( usually 6 to 12 hours) and be carefully regulated. Many true BBQ grills can double as an outdoor meat smoking/jerky making oven/dehydrator. Then there is just a regular, shallow frying pan type of charcoal grill that is usually the type seen a regular cookouts in the US. They are usually just called grills and not BBQ's. i.e.- "Did you buy charcoal for the grill, we can't have a cookout without it?" or " We decided serve Hawaiian chicken and hamburgers at the family reunion cookout this year." In reference to a BBQ it would be, " We need to wet the hickory chips and put them on top of the charcoal for the BBQ grill. It wouldn't be much of a BBQ without the smoke flavor, would it?!!" Or "My husband just bought a new BBQ smoker and we are going to invite you to a BBQ cookout when he learns to use it well."
Cookout is basically an invitation only BBQ... you BBQ in backyard and anybody can show up but you gotta be asked to a cookout and they are generally at a destination and moderately planned.
Late to the party, sorry... In my area of the U.S. south/east conference, there's cook out "cooking out" in the general sense. There's barbecue, which is another category for grilling all kinds of meats, and a fish fry. All items cooked outside fall in one of these major umbrella categories and can encompass even MORE things. You can have a crawdad boil at a cook out, or you could have a fish fry at a barbecue, so it's kinda like trying to name an outdoor music festival by the main genre of music acts, but there could be more too. LOL
Same thing... Both terms are used. The changes do tend to be regional .. However purist will declare that a BBQ is slow Smoking rib, brisket etc, while grilling is burgers, hot dogs, quick stuff on a grill.. a cook out tends to indicate, all sorts of stuff will be on offer. A dish of something or some supplies are usually brought to contribute to the efforts.. A cooler with some drinks, adult or otherwise. Paper plates towels ice.. whatever..
Almost All-Americans use the word cook-out and BBQ. They can be used interchangeably but in the southern states Cook-outs are usually simple food like grilling burgers and dogs. BBQ is smoking, low and slow.
Fun crossing your channel. Enjoyed your review.❤ That guy is so right. My family’s cookouts are just like that, except we refer to dominos as bones and it’s gonna result in a lot of dance contests. Hope y’all get to experience one.
The difference between a cookout and a barbecue is a cookout just has like stuff that can be whipped up that day. A barbecue takes days to prepare for especially the meat because you have to marinate it and let it soak for a long time to get the flavors thoroughly in the meat. I don't think I've ever been to a barbecue
Except for BBQ insane ass regions of the Deep South & Texas, the rest of the entire country says cookout and knows it is a gathering where food is cooked outside. Barbecue specifically refers to a style of cooking, or the gathering where someone is actively barbecuing. You can’t bbq on a propane grill, but you can have a cookout with anything (bbq pit, smoker, charcoal grill, propane grill, hot plate, etc.). You can also have a potluck or catered cookout where no one is actually cooking. If nothing is being smoked, it ain’t a BBQ.
Love you Daz and of course Dave and Mike and also we Mexicans call our cookouts Carne asada which means you're gonna eat and drink whatever they bring to the table also Gaynor is cool great reaction hope to see more soon
I grew up going to, "black," my family cookouts. My godmother and her sister lived next to each other and shared a yard. So the grill was between the houses along with the tables for the food. Everyone brought some kind of dish, kegs were tapped and the 5 gallon Colmen cooler was filled with Kool-aid for the kids. We also had one of the cousins up on the porch, doing his DJ thing. It started at noon and ended whenever the liquor was gone.
In the south, (where barbecue was invented) barbecue is a noun. It is a style of preparing meat. We don't go to a barbecue, we go to a cookout to have barbecue. This is from southern culture, not only black culture.
I just subscribed to your channel and I have to say you two are the first white couple and UK reactors I've seen, which makes it twice as funny. Love the stories about US Thanksgivings. I feel you on the Italian one. First time I went to my in-laws I had the same experience. I see you have the Fish Fry up next. Can't wait 😂
A bbq is what you cook on. A cookout is a gathering of friends and/or family. (with great food from the bbq) Having said that, the word "bbq" is often used to explain both.
I think it's regional here in the U.S. Starting in the Southwest, in Texas and Arizona and spread from there and eastward, north eventually. Now, they are interchangeable. Along with " put another shrimp on the barby." Blame the movies.
I'm a Black Lady, and in my family "Throwing "Bones" would be playing Dominoes.😊 People never seem to realize how many times black people are in those situations through out the day. I've been the only black person around before (depending on social event, work and location too). I've had that experince and most times people have been welcoming...I've been Blessed.
Barbecue method is slow and low heat. The cooking process takes all day. A cookout is just throwing something on the 400° grill and everyone may bring a dish to pass. Same concept, different technicalities.
He's not wrong. Black cookouts are the only hostage situations you actually WANT to be in. My great grandmother thought that any child that weighed less than a small planet was being abused and starved. 🤣🤣😂😂

Perfectly said.

That's more of an internet trope black people use. "Oh, he's invited to the cookout!" When referring to non-black people who understand their culture.
❤❤
Everyone in America has seen this video, and we all loved it (as far as i can tell) so thanks for watching.
Do the 2 nd part, mama T’s fish fry, throw means dice, otherwise bones is dominoes.
"Cookouts" are synonymous with barbecues. Whites and blacks in America both use the word "cookout" but it's common to say that in the South.

“Bones” can be Dominoes or Dice, but THROWING bones is only done with dice; we PLAY dominoes.☺️
Slap bones = dominoes
Throw bones = dice
We (most southern Black people) call them cookouts. BBQ is a flavor (like potato chips) or the meat from a smoker/grill. The actual gathering is called a cookout.
I remember when I first saw this, it’s great! The Fish Fry one is great, too. The first time Daz told the black Atlanta nightclub story (on another video), I heard the needle on the vinyl scratch sound effect when he and his friend walked in lol
Do you remember which video it was?
@@HiiipowerHabits I don’t recall, I just remember him telling that story before.
even if this story is heavily exaggerated, i dont care 😂it just makes me giggle every time i see it
I did the same thing. Was looking for an underground rave way back when. And you'd just get out of you car, walk around, and try to follow the bass. We found the bass. It was an afro world beat party. It was like a western saloon. The music didn't stop, but heads definitely turned. Long story short, we never got to where we thought we were, just down the road. But we definitely got to the right spot. Amazing night.
As a man who was the only white guy (mostly) at pick up basketball games when I was young, there is something incredibly liberating about being in that position. Every good thing you do is applauded. It's great.
😅😅😅
😂😂😂😂
When he said they sat him at the head of the table I knew they were messing with him 😄
Oh God, this is priceless 😂😂😂😂😂 my chest hurts from laughing especially the end . He described it to a T, glad he had a blast now he better prepare for the BD party 🎉
Mainly, BBQ is a way of preparing meat here--as you know. A cookout is outside and can have BBQ, but will typically have burgers, hot dogs, chicken, vegetables on the grill that used to always be a charcoal grill. Then you would have side dishes--lots of side dishes--baked beans, salads of all kinds--but must have potato salads, macaroni salads (which are not mac and cheese), jello salads, fruit salads, garden salads, and lots more kinds of food. A visitor would often bring a dish for everyone (this is called "pot luck"), and could be anything really, including desserts, home-made ice cream, etc. You would eat outside, socialize, maybe swim in the pool if you had one, then do it all over again when dinner rolled around. Typically there would be another fire to roast marshmallows and on holidays, fireworks to set off and later--fireworks displays to attend (if you could make it there after all of the food and drinks). As kids we would catch "lightning bugs" (fireflies) and put them in a jar but release them later. Slept like a baby those nights.
This video caught fire when it came out 😂 there's another one about a guy getting a haircut from a black barber 😂
BBQs/Cookouts are interchangeable...🤣🤣🤣
I grew in a predominantly black area of Georgia. I’ve been to lots of those things. He ain’t wrong!
The only game my family plays is spades(white). Grew up playing it, my grandpa had some card dominos and they used them for the last 60 years.
Absolutley loved loved loved this reaction. You two are great.
There’s a fast food chain in North Carolina called Cook Out and the lines at the drive through are always around the corner. 40 flavors of milkshakes. Not “shakes.” *Milkshakes*
😂😂
I was about to leave this very comment before I saw yours! Cookout means the same to all races in NC 😅
When I hear BBQ, I think burgers, hot-dogs, bratwurst. Maybe simple chicken and ribs. Nothing special.
When I hear cookout, you never know what food to expect - only that it's going to be served outdoors. Usually more care goes into the selection of the food. Often times there's some unique choices or a more cultural cuisine. Overall, I'd say cookouts are more endearing and just as much about the food as it is the party.
Thats a pretty good distinction. a cookout ain't hamburgers n shit. you getting mac n cheese, greens, bbq ribs, chicken, turkey legs, etc. beans. all kinda stuff and as you pointed out, outside.
And somebody will definitely get drunk and want to hear George Clinton’s Flashlight, and somebody will def jump up and say “that’s my s**!”
Invited to “The Cookout” is a euphemism for a white person being cool enough to hang out with a Black Family. We love our family and our friends and we really go out at a cookout as a community. You lose your Black card if you can’t play Spade….You have to be invited though!
They set him up with an awesome hand of cards!!!😂 I have been to an all black gumbo feast!! Fabulous ! 😊
I’m a black American living in London. The first time I was invited to a barbecue I was disappointed that only sausages and hamburgers were served. I was used to the cookout the white guy described.
Reminds me of when I was with one of my black friends picking up his football gear from his college & we stopped at his grandparents house. We were sitting there chilling, talking & his grandpa was taking moonshine shots & offered me some. I took like 5-8 (I can’t remember) & was close to blackout. When we finally got in the car, we smoked a blunt & then I swiftly passed out the entire 2 hour drive back & my buddy had to shake me awake when we got back to my house💀 we had a helluva good conversation drinking that moonshine
The food coma is called the "Itis" in the Black community 😂
Yep. That inflammation of the N… that comes from eating too much good food 🤣🤣🤣😂
You guys are invited to my BLACK Thanksgiving! We don't have only have black people at my Thanksgivings (in fact my brother-in-law is from Spain). But most black people do thanksgivings a little differently. First and foremost: most black families (ESPECIALLY if you live in the south) don't do stuffing. We do cornbread dressing, and I will tell you that every person who's tried my mother's cornbread dressing and gravy said they never wanna go back to stuffing! 2. Most of us do not do pumpkin pie. We do SWEET POTATO PIE! I honestly don't mind pumpkin pie, but don't expect it at any black persons Thanksgiving. And all due respect to Miss Patty Labelle and her pies, but if you want the best sweet potato pie, you will eat one baked from scratch. Everyone Will tell you that they are family does the best this or that. But I guarantee you that you'll have the best cornbread dressing with giblet gravy and cranberry sauce, collard greens (which we usually call "calla greens."), Mac & cheese, roast with gravy, and juicy turkey ever! AND, my mother sure does make a mean sweet potato pie! If you're interested, somehow we can connect on social media!
One question dancingwheels8494 Is the Mac and cheese homemade cause if not that's an insult of the highest level
He has another one-“We ain’t built for this shit” about winter storms in the South. Very funny😂
in my area NE, we call it a cookout - or a picnic -and my family is alarmingly White. a BBQ is a specific kind of meats being cooked in a specific way, involving the sauce, and a bigger event, perhaps even tickets being sold. but - don't get confused - you can BBQ *at* a cookout.
If they asked you to “slap some bones” that would be dominoes. “Shoot” or “throw” is usually referring to dice
Love how Zach tells this story
In the South in the USA, you have a cook-out with burgers, hotdogs, or chicken. A BBQ has large cuts of beef (preferably brisket) with the option of BBQ sauce. There will be potato salad, coleslaw, beans, and peach cobbler for dessert. 😅
When we make plates its not an insult its hygiene fewer people over the food as possible 😂
It's all people that cook outdoors. Cookout, barbeque, either can and do include side dishes. Both are an outdoor gathering.
In Miami I used to love to play spades in high school and I’ve only heard of bones when referring to dominoes. As a Caribbean latina that was a staple in the home. We had all kinds of dominoes and every get together someone would be playing with a beer in one hand. Cookouts to me is more of a large family get together where multiple people are cooking or bringing food.
The best cookouts I ever went to were with my best friend and her family which were all Jamaican. The music the food and the environment is like no other. Also loved going to the Jamaican warehouse parties by key largo. I enjoyed being the only white puertorican female there, they all look astonished when a white girl with rhythm isn’t white American but from the Caribbean too. Cultures are similar which is what makes is so enjoyable.
If you haven’t been in a black cookout? Imagine backyard bbq party, with a lot of personality, and screaming kids and aunties!
You guys have to watch part 2 Mama Tee's fish fry 😂
In the south barbecue & cookout can be used interchangeably but if there is no barbecue then it’s just a cookout
Zach is an awesome guy.
In the Eastern U.S. the term barbecue (BBQ) is usually reserved for a type of meat cookout that has a specifically type of slow & low cooked meat of a peculiar spicy flavor of regional variants. Usually some type of BBQ sauce is slathered onto the meat during the cooking. Some sauce flavorings are spicy sweet, some more sour but all usually contain some type of mix of spicy tomato or mustard based sauce with vinegar, brown sugar, chili pepper, Paprika, cumin, salt, tobasco pepper base of spices.
A cookout is still cooked outside on a grill but not necessarily with a slow cooked, spicy BBQ meat centerpiece i.e.- Hawaiian style chicken, an Italian style grilled shrimp or other quick and more generally cooked foods. The country side dishes are usually almost the same for a BBQ coockout or other type cookout. Mashed potatoes, green beans, cooked spinach, BBQ flavor baked beans, sliced cucumber & onions in a lightly sweet & salty vinaigrette, corn (on or off the cob), potato salad, macaroni & cheese, corn bread (regular or mexican), dinner rolls, egg salad and/or deviled eggs with a dash of paprika, etc... if fowl or pork is served, usually a light or dark butter/rue broth gravy is made from the drippings to go with the mashed potatoes. Also, at a cookout, you're much more likely to find other things being cooked on a BBQ slow grill besides the meat. Things like corn on the cob or baked potoato slathered in butter and wrapped tight in aluminum foil.
A BBQ grill in the US is a specific type of grill that can hold lower temp, moist heat and smoke for long periods of time ( usually 6 to 12 hours) and be carefully regulated. Many true BBQ grills can double as an outdoor meat smoking/jerky making oven/dehydrator.
Then there is just a regular, shallow frying pan type of charcoal grill that is usually the type seen a regular cookouts in the US. They are usually just called grills and not BBQ's. i.e.- "Did you buy charcoal for the grill, we can't have a cookout without it?" or " We decided serve Hawaiian chicken and hamburgers at the family reunion cookout this year."
In reference to a BBQ it would be, " We need to wet the hickory chips and put them on top of the charcoal for the BBQ grill. It wouldn't be much of a BBQ without the smoke flavor, would it?!!" Or "My husband just bought a new BBQ smoker and we are going to invite you to a BBQ cookout when he learns to use it well."
Zach Rushing. He's an absolute scream! 😄😄🤣🤣😂😂🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was so excited to see you reacting to this. Clicked so fast.
Most folk I know don't usually have lasagna at thxgiving but u said they were Italian so that makes sense. Lol
1:08 in South Africa it is called a Braai
Cookout is basically an invitation only BBQ... you BBQ in backyard and anybody can show up but you gotta be asked to a cookout and they are generally at a destination and moderately planned.
I grew up in CT and generally it was a barbecue but I also heard cookout. They’re interchangeable, imo.
THis guy's delivery of the story is awesome! His timing too. Definitely stand up comedian material.
Late to the party, sorry... In my area of the U.S. south/east conference, there's cook out "cooking out" in the general sense. There's barbecue, which is another category for grilling all kinds of meats, and a fish fry. All items cooked outside fall in one of these major umbrella categories and can encompass even MORE things. You can have a crawdad boil at a cook out, or you could have a fish fry at a barbecue, so it's kinda like trying to name an outdoor music festival by the main genre of music acts, but there could be more too. LOL
Bones are Dominos here in Florida, have never once ever heard it used for dice. We simply say shoot dice or for some it's craps
It's honor and privilage to be invited to black cook out. I totally agree. I'm originally from Texas, and I have to agree.
Same thing... Both terms are used. The changes do tend to be regional .. However purist will declare that a BBQ is slow Smoking rib, brisket etc, while grilling is burgers, hot dogs, quick stuff on a grill.. a cook out tends to indicate, all sorts of stuff will be on offer. A dish of something or some supplies are usually brought to contribute to the efforts.. A cooler with some drinks, adult or otherwise. Paper plates towels ice.. whatever..
Cookouts is what we use for special events and holidays. Any other time, we just call them BBQ.
"Hey, you wanna come over tonight, we BBQing?"
LOVE this video! Haven’t seen it in some time 😂
Zach is a big old boy. He was a lineman (guard) for the Wyoming Cowboys. His playing career was ended by cancer which he has beaten twice now.
LOLOLOL haven't seen this for a while....hilarious !!11
Almost All-Americans use the word cook-out and BBQ. They can be used interchangeably but in the southern states Cook-outs are usually simple food like grilling burgers and dogs. BBQ is smoking, low and slow.
Fun crossing your channel. Enjoyed your review.❤ That guy is so right. My family’s cookouts are just like that, except we refer to dominos as bones and it’s gonna result in a lot of dance contests. Hope y’all get to experience one.
The difference between a cookout and a barbecue is a cookout just has like stuff that can be whipped up that day. A barbecue takes days to prepare for especially the meat because you have to marinate it and let it soak for a long time to get the flavors thoroughly in the meat. I don't think I've ever been to a barbecue
Except for BBQ insane ass regions of the Deep South & Texas, the rest of the entire country says cookout and knows it is a gathering where food is cooked outside. Barbecue specifically refers to a style of cooking, or the gathering where someone is actively barbecuing. You can’t bbq on a propane grill, but you can have a cookout with anything (bbq pit, smoker, charcoal grill, propane grill, hot plate, etc.). You can also have a potluck or catered cookout where no one is actually cooking. If nothing is being smoked, it ain’t a BBQ.
Love you Daz and of course Dave and Mike and also we Mexicans call our cookouts Carne asada which means you're gonna eat and drink whatever they bring to the table also Gaynor is cool great reaction hope to see more soon
BBQ and Cookout is basically the same thing.. Black cookout are really amazing, I have been to a few.
I grew up going to, "black," my family cookouts. My godmother and her sister lived next to each other and shared a yard. So the grill was between the houses along with the tables for the food. Everyone brought some kind of dish, kegs were tapped and the 5 gallon Colmen cooler was filled with Kool-aid for the kids. We also had one of the cousins up on the porch, doing his DJ thing. It started at noon and ended whenever the liquor was gone.
In the south, (where barbecue was invented) barbecue is a noun. It is a style of preparing meat. We don't go to a barbecue, we go to a cookout to have barbecue. This is from southern culture, not only black culture.
I just subscribed to your channel and I have to say you two are the first white couple and UK reactors I've seen, which makes it twice as funny. Love the stories about US Thanksgivings. I feel you on the Italian one. First time I went to my in-laws I had the same experience. I see you have the Fish Fry up next. Can't wait 😂
A bbq is what you cook on. A cookout is a gathering of friends and/or family. (with great food from the bbq)
Having said that, the word "bbq" is often used to explain both.
@Daz, "Bones" is also Dominos😉
I think it's regional here in the U.S. Starting in the Southwest, in Texas and Arizona and spread from there and eastward, north eventually. Now, they are interchangeable. Along with " put another shrimp on the barby." Blame the movies.
I'm a Black Lady, and in my family "Throwing "Bones" would be playing Dominoes.😊
People never seem to realize how many times black people are in those situations through out the day. I've been the only black person around before (depending on social event, work and location too). I've had that experince and most times people have been welcoming...I've been Blessed.
In the states barbecue and cookout is the same thing depending where you live be it Black or white you may say cookout or barbecue,
Cookout is grilling outside. Everyone uses that term. BBQ is meat that has been slow cooked ( 12-18 hrs) in a smoker.
Barbecue method is slow and low heat. The cooking process takes all day.
A cookout is just throwing something on the 400° grill and everyone may bring a dish to pass.
Same concept, different technicalities.
The original dice were knuckle bones or something from some animal that I forget which.
Lol the „novelty“ reference is so true I’m Mexican American living in Germany and I get so many questions we are the highlight of the groups 😂
OMG-- you have got to see his cooking videos---you will howl!
I believe cookout is more of a southern term, I live in the north and we typically only use the word barbecue.
