Humm... Interesting. The use here is that there's a designated "asador",
a man whose authority in the art of cooking meat is undisputed. If the
thing is serious, there may be a support team, but there will be always
a single boss who makes the decisions. The serious men present will stop
by the fire and knowingly nod in approvement, and bring beer to the man.
It's actually a very demanding job, the heat unbearable, and the process
is mind numbingly elaborate (for me, at least). In the end there's
always a round of toasts for the asador, and that's the reward.

In Argentina is like that too, and I suspect that it is also the
brazilian way. ;)
