Barbecue App
BBQ App
“Barbecue” is a classy little iPhone app. It’s one of several cooking game apps including More Toast! More Pizza! and Cupcakes that have come out recently in the iTunes store, where the object of the game is to cook a virtual meal.
In “Barbecue” you “light” a match by striking it against the iPod Touch or iPhone screen. Once the fire is started (you can blow in the microphone to stir the flame), toss corn, shish kebabs, steaks and hot dogs on the grill, brown them and flip them (double tap the screen), taking care not to burn them (drag them off the grill with your finger if you do), unless that’s how you like your meat. You “serve” the finished dish, sending the image of your plated meat (against a tablecloth of your choosing) via Facebook, Twitter or e-mail to friends and family members who will think you’re awesome for having grilled something so lovely for them. It’s silly, but it’s an experience well worth the 99 cents it costs. Or so I thought
