Live-fire cooking puts the hearth back at the center of American restaurants
Each pick comes with a specific dish to order.
Time Out picks seven U.S. restaurants cooking over wood, embers and open flame, where the hearth often sits in full view of the dining room. Among them: Michelin-starred chef Eyal Shani's Malka in West Palm Beach (his first kosher restaurant, built around a custom wood grill); Hillary Sterling's Ci Siamo in Manhattan, known for whole fire-roasted trout; Ajax Downtown in Denver, where even the bread and cocktails touch the fire and steaks are dry-aged in-house; and Corkfire in Temecula, cooking produce from its own garden over flame. It's a trend roundup, not a list of new openings.

How much is substance, and how much is paid or hype?
Time Out picked these seven; it is an editorial roundup, not a ranking or an investigation. The chefs named (including a Michelin-starred one) are working practitioners, and each pick names a specific dish, which makes the claims easy to test on a visit.
