Fire, salt, time.

A wood-fired American kitchen. Whole animals broken down in house, vegetables from four farms, and a bar that stays open later than it should.

The fire

No gas, no shortcuts

Post oak arrives every Tuesday and burns down to coals by four. Everything that leaves the pass has been over that fire, including most of the vegetables.

It is a slower way to cook and it makes the room smell like the food. That was the whole idea.

Word of mouth

What people say

The ribeye is the best argument for cooking over wood that this city has produced in a decade.

Booked for eight on a Friday, they moved us to the patio without being asked and it was perfect.
