We hand carve the meat, once chilled, and dress it in a traditional Passover Brisket Jus of Tomatoes, Vinegar, Honey, and Allspice. If you have not tried our Passover Brisket, you are missing a real treat. This is the most tender, juicy, and flavorful brisket.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Working with was such a pleasure. We have an amazing team here in - when we started working with for Smoke & Sunshine 2024, he had the idea to work with them as the event beneficiary…. He said, “one thing we can all agree on is that mental health, especially in hospitality, is a serious concern. Unfortunately the stigma behind it, is of even greater concern.”

Normalizing the conversation on mental health starts by having it… check in with your coworkers, significant others, children, friends…. Remember that listening and observing are skills. They need to be practiced.

Call someone today and tell them you miss them, you them, and you’re thinking about them.

Easter ordering is live! Carrot Cakes, Smoked Heritage Ham, and more!

Morning! We are so excited to announce that for the next two weeks we have partnered with to offer you BOGO Breakfast Sandwiches from our downtown location - Tropical BBQ Market.

Order a breakfast sandwich this week or next and get a second one on us.

GIVEAWAY RULES - Like, Share, Comment - must be following us to win. We will pick one winner this week. The winner gets to send a ‘team’ of their choosing a BBQ feast on us. What’s a team? Anything. Your local fire station, a kids baseball game, your co-workers, etc. It’s about People Gathering. Let’s say 15-20…

When we opened Tropical 3 years ago, Rick Mace said there are three ideas that transcend all barbecue boundaries - 1. simple ingredients 2. Patient preparation 3. People gathering. We will supply the first two. You provide the third. 😜

When we started Tropical 3 Years ago, we knew we wanted it to be family friendly. We just didn’t realize it would take the whole Mace Family to actually make the place friendly 😜…. is turning 30 today. Let’s all wish her a happy happy birthday. What started out at Tropical as mainly cornbread and green markets has evolved into so much more. Siobhan helps run our new location; she is a butcher, a therapist, a pastry chef, event manager, and .mace much better half 😝
mace might be the head of this bbq family, but she is definitely the neck…. And if you don’t know where this is headed: “The neck can turn the head anyway she wants.”

Have a great day guys! Happy birthday.

Wow! What a great way to start the day. Thanks so much for thinking of us. We love West Palm Beach; we love Florida; and we are so proud to rep our home on the barbecue frontier.

If you have not had a chance to check out what are you waiting for?!?!?!??? They have a stellar selection of wines: small family producers, excellent farming and winemaking practices, lots to choose from - ciders, beers, sake too. They also have the first solid selection of natural wine which is so desperately needed.

The owner Michael and his team (what up Damon!) are super knowledgeable and great to talk too… plus, they have some pretty special wine pairings that they recommend 👀 😜 ➡️➡️

is in the house!!!! Joining us at Smoke & Sunshine this year we’ve got Jeff Bud from the magic city, MIA, bringing that local flavor.

Jeff started Apocalypse BBQ in 2022 and it is quickly becoming one of South Florida’s barbecue destinations. We are pumped to have him this year as one of our pitmasters representing Florida’s unique flavors.

Join us in welcoming back Hector Garate from in Charleston, SC!!!!

Hector’s passion for barbecue started at an early age. Born in Puerto Rico, raised in North Carolina, he specializes in Whole Hog, Beef Cheeks, and Sausages. His barbecue draws inspiration from his Puerto Rican-Cuban roots while putting his own spin on Carolina classics. Not an easy feat.

Like all of our pitmasters, sourcing meat and working with exceptional product is a major source of pride. Hector uses heritage hogs raised in Lowcountry, and he works the entire animal into his menu.

His first brick-and-mortar operation will open in just a few days now (if not already 😜), and we are humbled that he can come join us for the festivities.

Pitmaster Andy Muñoz is bringing that CaliMex fire to Smoke & Sunshine this year. Coming all the way from Los Angeles, Moo’s Craft Barbecue opened its first Brick & Mortar location in 2021 after running a backyard pop up since 2017.

They were quickly recognized by Food & Wine Magazine as the best barbecue in California in 2020. This year they even received a Bib Gourmand.

Moo’s offers traditional Texas-style Barbecue, as well as many CaliMex sides, specials, and treats.

Meet our next Guest Pitmaster, Chef Charlie McKenna! Charlie originally hails from Greenville, SC where he developed a deep love for true Southern BBQ from his Grandma Lillie. He is an FSU graduate (Go Noles!), and a 2x Memphis in May World Champion.

Lillie’s Q opened in Chicago in 2010 and was named “Best New BBQ” by Food & Wine Magazine. Charlie now has several restaurants in Chicago and Florida. sauces, ribs, and even kettle chips can now be found internationally.

We are so stoked to have him join us in just 11 days for Smoke & Sunshine. Ticket link in bio.

Meet our next Pitmaster in the Smoke & Sunshine Line Up: Jordan Wright, or Wrights Barbecue in Arkansas.

Jordan’s barbecue story started like many others, at home with a - now Wright’s has grown to FOUR locations throughout the state. In addition to their many accolades, recognized Wright’s as the best Barbecue in Arkansas 2023.

They focus on Texas-style BBQ, and burn Pecan Wood sourced from downed trees in central Arkansas.

Tomorrow we are launching a month-long Round Up campaign with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We hope to raise awareness for Hospitality Professionals and the impact mental illness can have on individuals, friends, and families in the hospitality industry.

Have you tried our Whole Chicken Dinner at Tropical BBQ Market? From 5PM - 6PM everyday we offer a family meal - Whole Wood Fired Chicken, plus 2 Quarts of Sides for $45. Meal prepping sucks. Unless you have neighborhood restaurants that do it for you😎

We will not always beat our competitors on price. That’s not why we are here and that’s hopefully not why you come visit. Quality is the mission. We source great ingredients and respect them in the cooking process.

Our Chickens are No Antibiotics Ever. That is different than “no hormones, no antibiotics.” ALL chickens used for meat are “no hormones, no antibiotics.” If you want to know more about that marketing bs, get a law degree and get back to me.

Frankly, it’s hard to believe Boston Market sells the same package for $36. They use Tyson by the way. Or Perdue. Or one of the other factory farms that are currently on trial for “price fixing, restraining production, RIGGING BIDS, and manipulation of poultry indices.”

Support small farms. Support local business. Support future rants, if we still have your attention. Take care of yourself and your people. Play the long game.

For the record, I grew up eating the hell out of that meatloaf and squash casserole when it was still Boston Chicken.

🤔 🤔 🤔 Mojo is a condiment, marinade, sauce, greasy finger conspirator, lip smacking line stepper, delicious pork maker.

We are so grateful to be able to serve some of our friends and team members family recipes and traditions.

Come try some Mojo at Tropical BBQ Market Downtown.

PS. Mojo does not mean delicious…. In Spanish, It means Wet. Specifically, it comes from the word Mojar which means ‘to make wet.’

Damn. That was a journey with an unexpected turn. For real. Didn’t realize that before starting. Happy accidents I suppose.

Come to Tropical. Order Mojo. Get wet. 🤯

Big News! BEEF TALLOW is now available at Tropical BBQ Market.
