LIQUID NITROGEN + FLAME THROWERS + BLINDFOLDS + FOAMS + BUBBLES & SMOKE are just part of the epic experience I want to provide you... The most important part of this is a Chef with the energy to match and execute Culinary Perfection... 🔥 My food is passionately curated by supporting small farms and growers who work tirelessly to help me create you the perfect Untamed Experience. I only use USDA PRIME House Dry Aged cuts of Beef, Air Chilled never frozen Poultry, Fowl & Seafood, Organic Vegetables. Fresh Hand Made Pastas, House Made Cultured Butter, Breads & Cheeses as well as Masterful Sauces, Fun Confections & Candies, Fresh House Churned Ice Creams & Sorbets.
