The pass

A 700° white oak hearth, whole-animal butchery, and zero microwaves.

Chef Rosa Delgado tends the wood hearth while Mateo Ruiz commands the butcher block. We built our kitchen inside a 1912 brick warehouse because the ceiling flue was tall enough to draft naturally. We cook over live Missouri white oak and fruitwood embers. No gas shortcuts, no hot-holding steam tables.

The cellar

Our cellar features low-intervention, estate-bottled wines from Rioja, the Basque coast, the Loire Valley, and Willamette Valley. Bottles are listed on a single curated page at the host stand.
