About once or twice every year my brother organizes a night out with his friends to see them all together.
I know all of them very well.
They used to be over at our house when I grew up every night playing cards for years.
It was a nice time.
Over time I have slowly morphed from "My brother's, little brother" to Mark.
I'm about 4 years younger than most of them.
But age differences matter less and less the older you get I have noticed.
We started in a bar in the center of Rotterdam around 19:00.
Niels, one of the guys I workout with was the 'jar' for the night.
It's pretty simple, everyone gives him money, he pays all the bills and when he runs out of money you give him more.
It's a great system. Nobody counts. Nobody judges.
The beers kept coming. The atmosphere was great.
An hour later we made our way to the restaurant.
My brother booked a table in a small place called Roffa.
Upon entering the place I saw this. I was instantly happy as you can imagine. A bbq smoker inside the restaurant!
We sat down at a nice wooden table and more beers were ordered.
For food, we opted for the option that was recommended by the owner.
3 rounds of plates looking like this.
Starting with 'light' meat. Chicken wings, sausage and pulled pork working our way up to intense smoke 'fall off the bone' BBQ ribs.
I had about 1 second to take the picture above. Because anarchy quickly followed.
I don't think my brother could have picked a better place to make simple men happy.
Beer, meat, and friendship.
Good times.
