🧴 A BRIEF HISTORY OF MARINADES: A HUG OF FLAVOR 🫢

Marinating meat dates back to ancient times. Before fridges (or TikTok) existed, people needed a way to preserve meat longer. So they turned to vinegar, spices, onions, and garlic — and guess what? It didn’t just preserve… it made the meat deliciously addictive 🀀

From Latin America to Europe and Asia, each culture created its own marinade magic. In Latin kitchens, marinades are practically a religion! πŸ™πŸŒΆοΈ

🎭 FUN GRILL STORY

One time, my uncle marinated the meat with a “secret ingredient” and wouldn’t tell anyone what it was. Everyone loved it! Weeks later, he confessed he had accidentally spilled a splash of tequila in the mix! πŸ˜‚
Now, every BBQ someone yells: “Add the uncle’s special touch!” πŸ₯ƒπŸ”₯

πŸ’‘ PRO TIPS FROM THE GRILL MASTER:

  • Never grill cold meat. Take it out of the fridge 30 mins before cooking to keep it juicy.

  • Marinate in ziplock bags – helps flavor penetrate better.

  • Don’t toss the leftover marinade! Use it for basting or simmer into a finishing sauce.
