This is not catering - it is culinary theater rooted in Cuban heritage, backed by 8 Grand Championships and 25+ competition awards.

Beyond the Hog

Open-Fire & Smoked Meats

Not every event calls for a whole hog - and that is where our open-fire and smoked meat program shines. We cook heritage brisket, pork ribs, chicken, and custom cuts on our custom-built open-fire rigs. Every piece gets the same fire discipline, the same smoke management, and the same attention to bark and moisture that wins us Grand Championships on the competition circuit.

What's Included

  • Whole smoked brisket with dark bark and signature smoke ring
  • Heritage pork ribs finished with house-made glaze
  • Smoked chicken and turkey for lighter event menus
  • Custom meat selections available by request
  • Cooked on custom open-fire rigs built by our team
  • Available as add-on to whole-hog or standalone package
  • Grand Championship-level fire management on every cut
