01 THE PITMASTER

IF YOU WOULDN’T SERVE IT TO YOUR FAMILY, DON’T SERVE IT TO ANYONE ELSE.

I’M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT THE HARDER IT IS TO COOK BARBECUE, THE BETTER IT TASTES. THAT’S WHY WE DON’T CUT CORNERS, WE DON’T USE GAS-FIRED PITS OR PELLETS, AND WE SPLIT OUR OWN OAK EVERY MORNING.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE ARE NO SECRETS AT EMBER MERIDIAN. YOU WANT MY RUB RECIPE? ASK. YOU WANT MY SAUCE RECIPE? ASK. IF IT HELPS YOU OUT, I’LL DO IT.

02 HOW WE BARBECUE

PASSIONATE PEOPLE.
QUALITY INGREDIENTS.
NO SHORTCUTS.

EMBER MERIDIAN IS THE MOST DOWN-TO-EARTH TEXAS BARBECUE YOU’LL FIND ANYWHERE IN COLORADO

We split our own oak, every morning, out back.

Our pits are 100% wood-fired and burn nothing but split oak. Hey, if it’s been good enough for Central Texas for more than 100 years, we figure it’s good enough for us.

From the moment you and your friends or family step inside our restaurant, you’ll feel at home.

We believe the best place to enjoy life’s simple pleasures is around a table with good people, quality meats and hard work.

Our families eat our barbecue, too. That’s why our meats are only all-natural, certified Angus. Come visit us on Walnut Street, two blocks from the ballpark!

Barbecue is America’s cuisine. We invented it, we perfected it, and at the end of the day, no one does it the way that we do it.
