Have you gotten your hands on the latest issue of Magazine ⁉️ Our very own VP of Culinary Operations, Todd Annis sat down with writer Amber Kispert to discuss “Caterers [embracing] the big-risk, big-reward spectacle of live-fire cooking.” 🔥🔥🔥

“‘Live fire cooking involves all five senses—as all cooking does—but even more so than most cooking,’ says Todd Annis with Cru Catering (Charleston, SC). ‘The smell of the smoke and fat burning over it, hearing the crackle of the wood, the sight of the flame and even the low embers slightly illuminating the fish or meat [are so enticing]. [Then there is] the feel of the heat near you and on the item that is being cooked, and lastly the taste and how you get that crispy crunchy char outside and the flavor and juices from the inside.’”
