Barbecue is a much-loved part of American food culture, with different areas having their own special flavors and cooking styles. From the Carolinas to Texas, there's a lot to learn about how barbecue styles are different across the country — and what better place to learn than at a museum!

Planned to open next spring in Kansas City, Missouri, the Museum of BBQ says it will be the world's first museum dedicated to teaching visitors about the history and culture of the cooking style.

"Barbecue is a feast for your senses," says food writer Jonathan Bender, who is opening the museum with chef Alex Pope. "Here in one of the BBQ capitals of the world, we're creating a place where you can immerse yourself in the stories of barbecue."

The museum will have rooms based on different barbecue styles, and what it calls "the main American regions of barbecue" — the Carolinas; Memphis, Tennessee; Texas; and Kansas City.



There will also be an oversized pot of "barbecue beans" for kids to play in, and a gift shop where visitors can buy things like barbecue spices, sauces and aprons.

Bender says the museum will be a place "where barbecue comes alive."

Kansas City is one of the barbecue capitals of the world, home to more than 100 local barbecue restaurants and many barbecue competitions. The city's barbecue style is famous for its "burnt ends" — charred pieces of slow-cooked beef brisket — often served with a thick, sweet, tomato-based sauce.

But the best styles and flavors are often debated among lovers of the cooking style — which is something the museum may help to encourage among its visitors!

"Barbecue isn't just food. It's culture," Bender told CNN Travel. And the founders hope visitors will come away from the museum with a new appreciation for barbecue and the community it creates.

Im talking about Tokyo's summer in the most casual japanese.

Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

Season 2 : Episode 6 :”Tokyo’s Summer” (30-minute episodes)

Desde los tacos, ya sean de pastor, de suadero, de longaniza, de canasta ; o ya sean las quesadillas, el caldo tlalpeño, las chalupas, el guajolote hidalguense, las enchiladas, las enmoladas; o simplemente para acompañar el guiso de cualquier mexicano, la tortilla es el alimento primordial.
En una mesa mexicana, a la hora de la comida, se ve el guisado, las aguas frescas para tomar, y un paquete de tortillas, generalmente de un kilo, para ir degustando, con una mano tu platillo en la cuchara, y con la otra un pedazo de tortilla. De esta manera, la tortilla se vuelve esencial en la dieta mexicana. 
¿Cuándo comenzó a servirse de esta manera? ¿Por qué es tan importante en la dieta de un mexicano? ¿Cuál es el origen de la tortilla?
Pues resultó que, la tortilla, es un aditamento gastronómico que nos acompaña desde al menos el año 500 a. C, pues en la región de Oaxaca se han encontrado vestigios de planchas de arcilla para preparar tortillas que datan de esa época.
El maíz, siendo la base principal de alimento para las civilizaciones mesoamericanas, se utiliza al mismo en diferentes formas. Los conquistadores y los frailes que convertían a los indígenas, localizarían a la tortilla como un pan de maíz. Los conquistadores creían que era como un pan cocido, o un pan que no tiene volumen.
Sus técnicas para preparar la tortilla, variaban considerablemente. Por ejemplo, en el caso de las tortillas prehispánicas, la masa era moldeada con las manos limpias, por lo que quedaba con una apariencia poco regular. A lo largo de la primera mitad del siglo XX aparecerán nuevas máquinas, algunas semi-manuales, como las  que diseñaron Salvador Guzmán en 1935 y la fabricación por Félix Rábago en 1936. Ambas consistentes en dos planchas de metal, pero sustituyen la palanca por un rasero que extiende la masa de nixtamal en el agujero circular que se encuentra en la plancha superior, de modo que al levantar esto se obtiene el disco de masa.
