You&#8217;ll find your typical smoked suspects here, like brisket, chicken, short ribs, and even smoked sausage. But what makes Ember special is the Asian twist. Think smokehouse meets KBBQ, where you can wrap proteins in veggies and slather them in Asian-inspired sauces like nam jim jaew, and chimichurri made with coriander, mint, and fish sauce.<\/p>\n<p>We had it for lunch and our team devoured the Feed the Bear set ($220), thanks to the smokey aroma and the fall-off-the-bone meats. For sides, we recommend the uber sweet maple cornbread and the nori smashed potatoes. You also can&#8217;t go wrong with the fresh kimchi for fresh bite. The best part? Ember&#8217;s food is halal-certified.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

Our grilled cheese sandwiches have never tasted better. You can also find other baked goodies like bagels, cookies, and buns (which are just as delicious).<\/p>\n<h3>5.
