Charcoal cooking has come a long way from traditional grilling methods to modern, sophisticated charcoal ovens, exemplified by brands like Josper. But more on Josper in a minute. First, it's important to understand why this type of cooking is so important (and so profitable).
A favorite meal of customers, grilled foods like steaks are a major attraction in fine dining establishments, especially in steak-centric Chicago. But charcoal cooking isn't just reserved for ribeyes and tomahawk steaks. Everything can be prepared over coals, including crab legs, shrimp, oysters, chops, and even many desserts. Incorporating charcoal ovens elevates these dishes and presents a lucrative opportunity for operators, merging profitability with a high-quality dining experience.
The question is how can today's operators create charcoal-based menus without all the challenges that charcoal cooking can present?
