The grill is smart-looking and sleek, as if it’s right out of a James Bond or Mission Impossible movie. Once I had the grill out of the easy-to-open box, I noticed the cool sky blue trim on the grill. It was accompanied by a smaller box with Nomad’s natural charcoal and tumbleweed fire starters. The well-packaged Nomad recently arrived on my front steps. As its name implies, the Nomad Grill and Smoker was designed for portability.

We used it to grill Catalan shrimp kebabs, cevapcici (Balkan sausages), and a Project Fire mystery box, and despite its compact dimensions, it’s as versatile as a full sizer. The taping of Project Fire Season Four gave me occasion to fire up a high tech new portable grill: the Nomad. Or, the ingredients in the dish became hard to source, even in season.One of the best parts of my job is getting to test drive new grills. Or, you may have been in the minority of people who liked that dish and it didn’t sell well for us.

Hey! I really liked that dish, why’d you take it off the menu?- We cook seasonally with the freshest possible ingredients, so if it’s not in season, we don’t cook it. In season adjustments are not uncommon either. How often do you change your menu?- We have 4 major menu changes per year with the seasons. On those days we offer take out until 6PM and after 8PM as our specialty equipment can only cook a certain amount of food per hour and we need that space for dine-in guests For life-threatening or intense alergies, please contact us before your arrival to come up with a safe plan for youĬan I get take out?- Currently we offer takeout for all business hours except Friday and Saturday.

We have a small dining room and this policy helps ensure that we can utilize our space to the fullest. On the weekends the charge will apply to 5 or more. What is the cancelation policy?- for parties of 6 or more on weekdays you have until 24 hours before your reservation to cancel without charge, after that we’ll have to charge your card $15 per head.

We can’t wait to have your taste buds travel with us. If you’re not in the mood for meat, the oven also cooks veggies brilliantly! We take the local ingredients and the world’s best equipment and craft recipes from all over the planet. We believe that truly local Ohio livestock is as world class as anything in Spain, and we sought out the best farms in Ohio to get the best out of the Josper

That’s where the true beauty of Nomad was born. When we were in Spain training to use the Josper, our new friends explained that while the oven can do incredible things, with good, local Spanish meat it was second to none. It took us 4 years to get one in the US, one of only 100 in North America we are told… It is a charcoal fired box that can reach incredibly high temperatures which results some of the most flavorful food you could ever dream of. That oven was known as a Josper oven, conceived and manufactured in Barcelona, Spain. In 2016 we happened upon an amazing oven that produced the best steak, chicken, grilled veggies and chops we had ever tasted. Nomad specializes in truly local ingredients transformed by live fire cooking equipment.
