Chef Rick Mace spent years honing his craft in some of the finest kitchens in the country, including Daniel, a two Michelin star restaurant based in New York City alongside lauded Chef Daniel Boulud. Now, Mace is taking the South Florida culinary scene by storm with his refreshing take on Florida BBQ.
After a decade helming the finest kitchen on Palm Beach, Pit-Master, Local Business Owner, and Gator Dad Rick Mace hung up his Chef Whites, grabbed a shovel, and set his mind to teaching the world that Florida is more than a vacation destination - it’s the beginnings of American BBQ.
Tropical Smokehouse is Florida’s own Craft Barbecue. From the Panhandle Oak to their chef-sourced ingredients, they are bringing BBQ back to its roots of slow fires, patient preparation, and people gathering. No gimmicks - no saucy coverups.
