it was a whole vibe cooking with you! 👩🏽‍🍳👨🏽‍🍳

When I visited back in September with my family, the hospitality and barbecue were outstanding from the jump.

They rolled out the red carpet and gave me a full behind-the-scenes tour — no ego, just craft and pride in the process.

Naturally, we started talking shop.

Chef Renato and I immediately vibed. Part of it is simple — he’s from Brazil. I’m Puerto Rican. Different flags, same roots. Smoke, fire, & garlic!

We started trading ideas, talking technique, imagining what would happen if we blended island soul with low-and-slow discipline. The entire team was stacked with talent, and we both knew we’d collaborate one day. It felt inevitable.

Then Bad Bunny announced his Super Bowl show.

That was the moment.

Super Bowl Sunday. One of the hottest smokehouses in town.

What started as a family dinner turned into a Super Bowl collab that brought Puerto Rican flavors to the pit — and the rest was history on a plate.

Still buzzing.

🚨 COLLAB ALERT 🚨
👀 Did someone say they want Puerto Rican food for the ?

I’m teaming up with for a one-day-only Puerto Rican food × BBQ mashup, bringing bold Puerto Rican flavors to the Super Bowl menu.

Think pernil & plantains, pulled straight off the smoker.
Comfort food. Party food. Food that holds you down while we eat, hang, and watch Bad Bunny absolutely kill the halftime show.

🎟️ Head to Destination Smokehouse for tickets
⏰ Or get in line EARLY — everything is guaranteed to sell out!
🏈 Super Bowl Sunday only

Come hungry. Bring the crew.

They say don’t play with your food… but I don’t listen. 😏

This All-Black Filet Mignon gets its dramatic color from activated charcoal—a chef’s secret weapon for turning a dish into art. You can mix a little into black salt or blend it straight into marinades, batters, or sauces for a natural, edible jet-black hue.

A pinch goes a long way, and it adds that mysterious, smoky depth without overpowering the flavor.

So go ahead—play with your food. Just make it taste as good as it looks. 🖤🔥
