Meet Etienne Gersbach. A proper salt-of- the-earth west coast boytjie from South Africa.
This man can make anything from nothing, makes biltong in the middle of the ocean near Saudi Arabia, cooks like an overqualified chef, is an absolute magician on the braai, he is a skilled knife maker, a deep sea saturation diver, works in extreme conditions on a Diving Support Vessel, building pipelines and maintaining all under water assets, a father, a husband and one of the most humble boets you’d ever meet.
We met on The Ultimate Braai Master TV show in South Africa and formed an epic bond that still exists today. His older brother Hein and my good friend Rudy Gibbons got to travel the coast of South Africa doing what we love to do. Braai.
This is us braaing rib eye steaks and drinking cold beers on the side of the R22 somewhere between Hluhluwe Game reserve and Sodwana bay, South Africa.
Etienne and his boet whipped out a steak size braai and a blow torch to get it alight in record time. So myself and Rudy were treated to some of the West Coast Bros wonderful ways.
Etienne used to always carry a little shaker of lemon salt which he loved to sprinkle on his beer. A police car drove past us and hooted and said hello.
