After working in the industry for years, Townsend started hosting pop-up parties at his home in Brooklyn. These small, intimate dining experiences quickly morphed into nomadic cooking excursions all over the northeast. The food is largely modern interpretations of classic dishes, focusing on meat and its interaction with open flame and air. Townsend's aim is to provide a unique and curated experience, taming the elements of fire and smoke to create a once in a lifetime dining event for each client and their guests. Townsend's ingredients are sourced by working directly with farmers, with a respect for the season and the region. Townsend works individually with each client to create a custom menu designed around each client's unique need, be it for a small party of six or large gathering of hundreds.
