Our signature · Live fire

Good food. A little theater.

The custom rigs bring the cooking into the evening. Tomahawks, fish and seasonal vegetables meet the fire while the crew keeps dinner moving.

We plan the cooking area, service style and weather backup with you and your venue.

How the live-fire experience works

From the first bite

Make room for a good meal.

Passed appetizers, generous shared dishes, and dinner straight from the grill. We build the menu around your guests and the way you want to serve them.
