Heritage Fire ignites a celebration of “live-fire” cooking on this 14-city national tour
[This is branded content].
There’s something about cooking directly over fire that feels deeply and collectively ancestral: it’s one of the few things we do to this day that replicates a function that people were doing long before our time. So it’s pretty fitting that the good folks behind Heritage Fire are traversing the nation to celebrate the storied legacy of “live-fire” cooking, heritage breed farming (traditional livestock bred from the same lineage over time with the intent to develop traits that made them well-adapted to the local environment), heirloom produce (similar to heritage livestock, this is produce grown from single lineage that’s maintained over generations) and communal eating and drinking.
The Heritage Fire Tour kicks off in Nashville on March 12, then picks up again every couple weeks, stopping in 13 additional cities across the U.S., including Atlanta, Savannah, Tampa, Austin, New York City, Vail, Minneapolis, Asheville, Snowmass (Colorado), Napa, Willamette (Oregon) and Miami, before the tour ends in Los Angeles on December 3. Each of the three-hour (4–7pm), all-inclusive outdoor destinations features tastes from 20–25 top local chefs who will compete for the title of their city’s Heritage Hero.
