Neighborhood grill, since 2016
Everything here
meets the coals.
Braza cooks over live oak fire — whole fish, charred vegetables, and cuts hung close to embers until they blister. No gas, no shortcuts, one open hearth in the middle of the room.
One fire.
One kitchen.
No lids.
The hearth was built before the roof went on. Everything that leaves it — the bread, the lamb ribs, the last of the peppers — has touched the same live coals, raked and moved by hand through service.
We buy whole animals from three farms within a day's drive, break them down ourselves, and let the fire decide the rest: high heat for a quick char, low embers pulled to the side for anything that needs to sit and render slowly.
