When it comes to barbecue season, most may think of dudes doing the work behind the grill, but a new survey shows a majority of Americans — 53% — say that’s an outdated notion.
The poll of 2,000 men and women that was commissioned by Purdue showed that 53% of respondents also believe women aren’t getting enough credit for their contributions to the outdoor culinary arts.
That said, the survey also showed 55% of men and 47% of women still believe grilling is a male-dominated practice — maybe the seemingly endless supply of “Guy grilling gear” for sale has something to do with that.
The survey also showed that when it comes to barbecuing, 74% believe it’s an art form, with 72% calling burgers the “must have” grilling food, followed by hot dogs at 60% and steak a close third at 59%.
