Experience cooking at its most elemental. Salt & Fire brings premium cuts of meat, fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, smoke, flame, and vibrant sauces together for an interactive open-fire dining experience prepared before your guests.
Inspired by Chef Brandon’s Texas ranch roots and elevated through years of culinary experience, this is more than dinner—it’s food, fire, and hospitality brought together around one table.
“Chef Brandon gave us so much more than dinner. Every course had its own personality, and the presentation was incredible. What really stood out was how comfortable he made everyone feel—he explained the dishes, shared stories, laughed with us, and never made the evening feel overly formal. By the end of the night, it felt like we had been dining with an old friend who just happened to be an amazing chef. We’re still talking about that dinner.”
— Jasmine R., Los Angeles
“Salt & Fire handled our wedding from beginning to end, and the food was one of the things our guests talked about the most. The lamb chops were a huge hit, and people were going back for the truffle mac and cheese before we even finished dinner. Brandon and his team showed up prepared, kept everything moving, and were genuinely fun to have around. We were able to enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about the food or service.”
— Erika & Taye, Oakland
“We had 12 guys in Las Vegas for a bachelor weekend and booked Chef Brandon to cook dinner at our Airbnb. Easily one of the best decisions we made the entire trip. He served steaks, lobster, cedar-plank salmon and a spread of sides that had everybody going back for more. The sauces he paired with the meats were amazing—you could tell they weren’t just an afterthought and really took everything to another level. Great food, great energy, and we didn’t have to leave the house or fight for a reservation on the Strip. Definitely doing this again the next time we’re in Vegas.”
— Marcus T., Dallas, Texas
