Hello from Costa Rica

[chanchonosara]

My name is Juan Pablo Berrocal, I ve been a professional chef for 17+ years, and long time bbq fan. I grew up in the north of Costa Rica, which is predominantly cattle country and super touristy. Curiously enough, I only smoked for friends and family, up until this past february when I open my first BBQ joint, it's called "Chancho Nosara" (costarican slang for pig).
This site has been a source of knowledge and Im happy to be here.
Pura vida,
Juan Pa

Welcome from Maryland. I’m sure we are going to learn a lot from you too, maybe with some twists we haven’t thought of.

Hola and welcome from the Florida Suncoast.

Wait a minute. Were you actually in Florida when you sent this greeting, and is there any sun in the "Suncoast" at the moment!?! :-) (Hope you're somewhere NOT in Florida...) B

[Draznnl]

Very much in Florida and I didn’t think someone not from the U.S. would get the joke if I called it the Florida Hurricane Coast.
