From passion to European Champion – discover the people behind BBQ Ranch.
passion for fire
We are Jolanda Kwint and Vera Burg, owners of The BBQ Ranch.
BBQ Ranch was born from a deep passion for the craft of barbecue. What started as experimenting in the backyard quickly grew into a serious challenge: the world of KCBS competitions.
For years we refined and sharpened our techniques. After our third competition year came the crowning achievement we worked so hard for: European Champion EBCC and 2nd in the world with ribs. Over the past two years we traveled throughout Europe to get better, learn and grow — and eventually claim that title.
But BBQ Ranch is not about "competition vibes". Quite the opposite.
The Ranch has existed for two years now and was created because we love sharing our passion with others, in a way that is warm, cozy and accessible. With us, everyone can be themselves: one person is barbecuing, another sits at the bar, plays a game of pool or simply enjoys being together.
BBQ Ranch is a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle with family, friends or colleagues — and where it feels like you're "home", but with fire, good food and a relaxed atmosphere. You fill the day exactly as you want.
Vera is a true food enthusiast and home cook at heart. Three years ago she also fell in love with barbecuing, because everything you do at home with tasting, making and perfecting can be so beautifully translated to cooking over fire. And that's exactly where we found each other.
Together we create unforgettable BBQ experiences, with one thing as the foundation: togetherness.

BBQ is not just a hobby – it's our passion. We love sharing that passion with everyone.
BBQ brings people together. We create moments of connection and togetherness.
Years of experience, also at competition level, that we gladly share with our guests.
We work exclusively with local suppliers and consciously choose quality over quantity.
The beginning of our journey in the world of KCBS competitions.
Our dream became reality: a place where we can share our passion.
