Master in Meat brings Texas Top BBQ to Ritz Carlton’s Beach
PALM BEACH — A man with a cowboy hat who is wearing an apron is standing on the beach of Ritz-Carlton, Aruba, concentrated in cutting wonderful pieces of meat on a cutting board. Behind him stands a big smoker barbeque. Meet Bryan Bracewell from Southside Market & Barbeque, Inc., a special pit master who flew over to our dushi island to pamper the hotel’s guests with the best BBQ Texas style you can imagine in the light of the 4th of July celebration.
The Caribbean manager of U.S. Meat Export Federation, Elizabeth A. Wunderlich, explains that Bryan is not just any pit master, he is well-known all over Texas and together with his wife they run Southside Market & Barbeque and a second joint in Bastrop, TX. “This is all about authentic Texas barbeque, full dedication to create a meat that smooth and tender with a wonderful texture. The way Bryan prepares the meat is bringing out all big flavors.” The pit master treated the guests from
July 4th to July 7th with each day another themed menu. This event was organized in partnership with Beef Loving Texans and Southside Market & Barbeque.
“The USDA Prime Beef brisket is smoked for over 9 hours over real Texas oak wood. Widely known and popular is the original beef sausage stuffed with jalapenos, known by local as ‘Hot Guts’. The Southside Market & Barbeque started in 1882 when William Moon started selling fresh meats
door-to-door from a horse- drawn wagon. Much may have changed in the world since 136 years, but the quality, commitment, hospitality and true Central Texas culture have been kept in place.”
The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba is always seeking for that extra mile to run for their guests and with bringing this real American taste to Aruba on Independence Day the hotel again marked the difference. q
Big Laughs & Mighty Music for Special Children

PALM BEACH — The com- bination music and laughs is a healing one. Both are uplifting and create a hap- py feeling. If you add top stand-up comedians, one even singing, and one of the most known singers of the Netherlands to this pic- ture, your result will be an amazing show. Cherry on the pie however is the fact that part of the profits go to a foundation that helps special children who need intensive specialized thera- py: Micky’s Foundation.
The show A Night of Mu- sic and Comedy last Sun- day brought it all together. Dutch singer and song
writer Trijntje Oosterhuis, Dutch-Surinamese stand- up comedian, actor and presenter Jörgen Raymann and stand-up comedian Tony Woods from the Unit- ed States. Raymann show- cased more than his striking humor as he was the MC as well as the singer in some duets with Oosterhuis. The audience laughed their heart out with Raymann’s typical sarcastic humor and Surinamese accent. A golden combination and guarantee for big laughs. His performance was in Dutch, while Woods –natu- rally- did his act-de-pres- ence in American English.
