Built around one grill and a loud dining room
We opened in a former tool works with a second hand grill, eight tables and a rule about keeping the list short. Most of that has not changed.
From a borrowed grill to a full book
The first menu ran to six dishes and two cocktails. We still cook that way: buy what looks good in the morning, cure what keeps and let the fire do the rest of the talking.

One short note a month: what came off the grill, who is playing downstairs and when the book opens.
