Barbecue 不單是 transitive verb, 可作 intransitive verb
例如: We barbecue often during the summer.

Grill (noun) - 單獨一個字少有解 “燒烤餐館”
I went to a grill.
至少有 I went to a downtown grill (or grill restaurant)
多數餐館名稱 ~ often used in the names of restaurants
e.g. Jackie's Bar and Grill..

grillvt.& vi. 燒烤 vt. 拷問，盤問 n. 烤架； 烤肉； 格板； 燒烤餐館 n. 烤肉； 燒烤野餐； （常用於室外的 ）金屬烤架vt. （通常在戶外 ）在烤架上燒烤

grill係有個網放肉上去燒，barbecue係用燒义插肉火上燒，呢個係表面上嘅分別，更深層次嘅分別係grill可能有人燒埋俾你食，仲會問你要幾成熟嗰隻。
