Swell Party grill master Tom Ellis considers himself an event planner before a chef. Using his skills as a trained actor and caterer, he thinks of his open fire kitchen as a stage, directing his locally sourced meat, vegetables, and fruits to roast over open fire grills for guests of large, elegant events.

    i gotta love this man's respect for the idea of what a chef is.
  • @markpang8847
    It would be a treat to learn from this man. What a master of this dying skill of cooking with fire. I can only imagine the logistical challenges that could arise while cheffing an event like this. I.e.-wind, rain, fire hazard, etc. The team makes it look so easy. Thank you Eater for putting this out. If the Michelin guys didn’t give him a star yet they should consider it.

    This food looks great. Love the use of the Dutch oven, those trays, hanging pineapples and the hay steamed fish. Great menu.
  • @BeJahnHobbies
    probably one of my all time favorite videos from Eater

    The whole time dude was like #쌈밥 Ssambap, I was like he can't be talking about doing Korean Vegetable Leaf wraps, and that's what he did. He is culturally aware and way more refined in his culinary skills than what he makes himself out to be. I'd call him a chef for sure.

    “A little butter” Proceeds to throw an entire cube of butter that weighs 2 pounds

    ssambap이 진짜 쌈밥일줄은 몰랐지; I found Korean recipe in this video unexpected interesting how they adapted it

    “Infiernillo” (Little Hell) is a south american technique
  • @1upSniper
    Dude really emphasized the "flavor notes " on the hay. Lol
  • @mickeyji6918
    You guys are Totally Chefs... much respect to you all. Stay humble
  • @ThomasLinrabbitpenguin
    I'd love to hear more about how he draws inspiration from different cultures in what looks like such an American looking style of cooking
  • @yLeprechaun
