Uncle Kenny’s BBQ, Aruba, video

After passing by Uncle Kenny’s BBQ for a couple of months, it was time to stop in and give it a try. This place is located near the Certified MegaMall on the access road that parallels the main highway between Oranjestaad and the hotel area in Aruba. There’s plenty of parking in front but only a couple of tables with shade. Plan for a take away experience. Here’s a video showing you a typical Aruban Sunday BBQ feast:

Man, that was a lot of food! Tasty, too. I expected it to be saltier but it wasn’t like some of the other joints that really load up the ribs before they hit the grill. This would be a good place to pop in after a day at the beach or for an inexpensive snack. Bon dia and don’t forget the cholesterol lowering medication of choice.

Young Fellow BBQ, Aruba

Young Fellow is the name of a roadside joint here in Aruba. They serve up a nice Sunday BBQ lunch that you may want to try. First, the place is located on the main highway, south of the airport. Just drive from the hotel area and keep going until you see the sign. Now let’s take a look at the video of the Sunday BBQ.

So, for the current price (subject to change) of 13 florins ($7 US+/-) you get 1/4 chicken, tons of white rice, 1/4 rack of ribs, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and some corn on the cob. That’s a good deal. Fish is also on offer if you would prefer it. They have ice-cold beer and Coca-Cola, too. Plus there’s the pool table and such to relax and have a good time before or after your meal. This place will be hosting the band DataPanik soon as part of the Route to the Rum Shops.

I enjoy these local joints. The people are friendly ,the food filling, and the experience authentic. Give it a try. You might like it.

Prepared to Grill!

After several delays, I’ve finally got my grill together and supplied with copious amounts of liquid propane fuel. This is a nice unit, one I shipped to Aruba last year. Take a look.

grillauaI set it up in the little courtyard outside my house. I’ll be adding some seating, a table, a few tiki lights and be ready to go. Nothing like cooking over a flame. Takes you right back to caveman days and tastes good, too.

Bon dia from Aruba.
