A small team, one mission, and methods we've trusted for over a decade.
Next Games began on a lake dock with a single grilled fish recipe and a notebook of flavor combinations that mostly needed work.
The kitchen is equipped now and the smoker is ours, but every dish is still prepared one plate at a time, by cooks who stand behind what they serve.
We cook less than we could. It keeps the ingredients honest and the flavors sharp.
If a fish recipe leaves our kitchen and we would not serve it to family, we do not serve it at all.
We buy from fishmongers we know, in quantities we use before the catch ages.
Trimmings become stock and sauce, and every seasoning blend is mixed here from whole spices rather than bought pre-ground.
Prepares every seafood dish that comes from our outdoor kitchen.
Seasons, fillets and smokes everything fresh from the catch.
Prepares sauces in small batches and plates each dish with care.
We start with the catch and plan the menu until it's perfect.
Everything is prepared at the outdoor kitchen, by the same hands.
Each dish is tasted, seasoned and served while still steaming.
