Again! Another Commercial Grill
They all start the same way. A call comes in from out of the blue, asking whether or not we are interested in doing a custom grill for a restaurant. We love these meaty projects, with lots of requirements to sort through. Functional requirements, esthetic requirements, safety requirements.
Because our grills are manufactured at the largest ornamental iron shop in the Western US, the customers then ask if we can create fixtures for the restaurant that match our grills. We love these projects!
Click on this photo to really get a sense of the beauty of this installation! This installation is installed at Sotto Restaurant in Cincinnati, OH, and officially opens on 3/25/2013.
The name for this project during design and build was "The Phoenix Project". Two restaurant spaces in Cincinnati stood vacant for years, until Boca Restaurant Group brought those two spaces back from the ashes! That is bistecca alla fiorentina on the far grate and chicken hanging from poultry hooks. Whether Marco Polo brought poultry hooks from China or NorCal Ovenworks simply borrowed these hooks from a Chinese restaurant supply house is up for debate.

We're having fun!
An exciting project for us has been this large, multi-purpose grill. This restaurant grill can be configured as:
This grill is made of 3/8" thick carbon steel plate. It weighs 1800 lbs and should last quite a while.
- A whole animal rotisserie
- An Argentine grill with rear brasero
- A Montevideo grill/parrilla like the ones in the Mercado in Montevideo, Uruguay
- A roasting station with up to 5 asadores for whole lambs or pigs
- A chicken and duck roasting station
- A very large Tuscan grill (The main use at Bucato in Helms Plaza, Culver City, CA.)
This grill is made of 3/8" thick carbon steel plate. It weighs 1800 lbs and should last quite a while.
Big Chicken
We're the sum token of our experiences. I spent two years living within two miles of this landmark.

NorCal Ovenworks Commercial Grills
NorCal Ovenworks Inc. has been building lots of commercial grills lately. Sotto, an Italian restaurant at 114 East Sixth St.,Cinncinnati, OH is an example.
The
wood fire hearth by NorCal Ovenworks is to be a major design element of the restaurant.
Guests also will have a view of the room where fresh pasta will be made.
The wine will be all Italian, and cocktails also will have a distinct
Italian flavor.
Sotto will be ridiculously affordable, with 90 percent of the menu under $20, and the wine list in the $30 range or less.The most expensive dish will be bistecca alla Fiorentina, the Tuscan porterhouse steak grilled over an open wood fire. Sold by weight, it will be cut to order from a side of beef sourced from artisan ranchers, then grilled over wood in an open hearth.

BBQ Sauce Recipe 1
I will be making as many Regional BBQ Sauces as I have time to test.
I made my version of Eastern North Carolina Vinegar and Heat Sauce last night, and tried it out with the wife and kids.
Eastern North Carolina Vinegar and Heat Sauce Recipe:
1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 TBL Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1 TBL Prepared Horseradish (Simply grated with a little seasoned rice wine vinegar.)
1 TBL Sugar
1 TSP Salt
1 TSP Pepper
1/4 Cup Water (OK, I added a little water in this, because I had some Cayenne Sauce clinging to the side of the jar.)
I salted and peppered 3 racks of ribs, and smoked them for 3 hours at 250 and then raised the temp to about 375 for an hour or so. We just splashed the Eastern North Carolina Vinegar and Heat Sauce on the ribs at the table. It cut the grease and was simply great. Nobody touched the KC Masterpiece sauce, so they either liked the homemade sauce or were being nice to me.

A Parrilla Made Using Our Argentine Grill Kit
NorCal Ovenworks sells a kit for a masonry parrilla just like those made in Argentina. Many of our customers share the final photograph of their parrilla with us. Too many for us to post all of them. This particular parrilla, located in Southern California merits special mention. This is the most refined example of a parrilla that I have seen.
