Amsterdam BBQ Guide: Part 1 鈥� Barbecue Shops and Supplies, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Spring has officially sprung. The Westerpark鈥檚 trees are in blossom, the clocks have gone forward, the temperature has been consistently in double figures for at least a week鈥� All that鈥檚 left is to dust the winter off my grill and spring will have morphed into my favourite time of year: BBQ season! I鈥檝e only been properly grilling in Amsterdam for the past two summers because I didn鈥檛 have any outdoor space until 2015. Since then, however, barbecuing has become our favourite weekend hobby, so it鈥檚 time to answer the seriously tasty questions: Where to buy BBQ supplies in Amsterdam? What to quick-cook on your BBQ and what to grill low and slow? Which Amsterdam parks can you BBQ in?
