In the Memory of My Friend, Brother in BBQ and forever Jack Best Pal Ricardo Camayd

Today January 24, 2013 the Caribbean BBQ Assoc lost a dear friend, magnificent ambassador of BBQ in Puerto Rico and a person who I consider my brother in life and in BBQ.

In 1994 at the Inter-America University I had the privilege to meet Ricardo Camayd as an acquaintance from a mutual friend. From there we hit it off as good friends and drinking buddies taking more of a liking to that Tennessee Whiskey Jack Daniels. One day at coaches. One night drunk, as we were most of the time together he said "Hector, there is going to be a BBQ competition and they need teams because it’s the first year and the organizers are good friends of mine". I had no idea how to cook BBQ, or anything for that matter, but there was going to be booze so I said hell yes. From that moment on we became "The Jack’s Best Pals" the rest is BBQ history.  We competed for 9 years till he went to the United States to study culinary arts at the Johnson and Wales University.  As part of the team we visited The Jack daniels World Championship BBQ invitational twice, the Plaza las American BBQ Challenge and even a chilly cook-off in Isla Verde.

His gentle personality and positive attitude was contagious he became part of my closest circle of friends and a part of my family. We traveled together to Culebra several times always having a lot of fun. Today when he passed away the first thing that came to mind was that God needed a gentle soul to be by his side and he called Ricardo. I feel like the world is a less gentle and happy place because of his parting but his memory and laughter will always be with us in spirit. Godspeed Ricardo the eternal Jack Best Pal my brother in BBQ.

Hector Rivera

Funeral services will be held at Ehret Funeraria in Rio Piedras from 5-7 pm Jan 30th. Contact Hector Rivera by text 787-370-0331 or email Pigmastersecret@gmail.com

2nd Annual Sabanera Dorado BBQ Challenge
 
Visit the photo gallery for more pictures

A summer afternoon BBQ with family and friends just go hand in hand and the Sabanera Dorado BBQ is the perfect example of that.

This is the kind of activity that any urbanization, community, pueblo, or business can do. It’s a fun family activity with great food, friendly competition and I can’t think of a better way to get to know your neighbors or coworkers. Sabanera Dorado does a fantastic job of this with their annual BBQ.

Prisa Group built the resort like urbanization and they organize the outing. The BBQ is held under a large covered basketball court located inside the property. The court is flanked on one side by a children’s playground and on the other side by the tennis courts. It’s August in the tropics so even though the area is covered with shade and there’s a good breeze blowing I still felt a little like a cat under a hot tin roof. Hydration is essential as with all BBQ competitions and besides the organizers having cold refreshments readily available many of the teams have their own special concoctions of Sangrias, Quenepa Pitoro,and  good local Rums of Puerto Rico with cola or juice available for sampling among friends.
