Both "barbecue" and "barbeque" are actually accepted spellings, just with different preferences geographically. Most dictionaries list "barbecue" as the primary spelling, and it's used more widely in American and British English. On the flip side, "barbeque" is seen as a variant, often used in certain areas or for emphasizing the abbreviated form "BBQ". So next time you're firing up the grill, don't sweat the spelling; either way, it's all about good food and good company, right?
