FAQs
1. What is the Ultimate Asado Experience?
An Asado is a traditional Argentine gathering centered around meats slowly cooked over wood and open fire. But for us, it’s about much more than the meal.
The Ultimate Asado Experience brings this tradition directly to your home or private estate, combining live-fire cooking, premium ingredients, beautiful presentation, and attentive service to create an immersive culinary experience for you and your guests.
From the moment we light the fire to the final course, the experience is designed to bring everyone together around the food, fire, and tradition of Argentine Asado.
2. What does the Ultimate Asado Experience include?
Our experiences are thoughtfully curated around each gathering and may include:
Live-Fire Cooking: Our signature meats and dishes are prepared on-site over wood and open fire using our custom Asado equipment.
Curated Menus: Premium meats, Argentine-inspired appetizers, seasonal sides, homemade sauces, and optional culinary enhancements.
Professional Asador & Culinary Team: Our team handles the preparation and live-fire cooking throughout your experience.
Service Team: Staffing is customized according to the size and style of your gathering.
Setup & Cleanup: We provide and set up our specialized cooking equipment and handle cleanup of our culinary workspace.
Personalized Planning: Every experience is designed around your guest count, location, menu selections, and overall vision.
3. What is the Investment for an Ultimate Asado Experience?
Every Ultimate Asado Experience is thoughtfully customized around your gathering, guest count, menu selections, staffing, travel, and overall vision.
Rather than traditional catering, we provide a fully curated private culinary experience designed specifically for you and your guests.
* Investment details and preliminary ranges are provided upon inquiry*
4. How many guests can you accommodate?
Our Signature Experience is especially suited for intimate private gatherings, while our team can also accommodate larger celebrations.
For gatherings of up to approximately 50 guests, we can offer our more formal seated dining experience.
For celebrations larger than 50 guests, we typically recommend an elevated experience featuring live-fire culinary stations, passed selections, grazing presentations, and other interactive service elements rather than a traditional seated dinner.
Each larger event is designed individually based on the property, guest count, and overall vision.
5. What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding Tri-State Area.
We are also available for select destination events outside our primary service area. Travel fees and, depending on the location, overnight accommodations may apply.
Please inquire with your event location and date so our team can discuss the possibilities with you.
6. Can I customize my Asado experience?
Absolutely. Customization is an important part of what makes each Ultimate Asado Experience unique.
From premium cuts and seafood to whole-animal roasts, seasonal sides, appetizers, desserts, and service style, we work with you to curate an experience that complements your celebration and personal tastes.
7. How long does the experience last?
Traditional Argentine Asado is intentionally slow.
Our larger cuts may cook over the fire for 3–4 hours, allowing guests to experience the sights, aromas, and anticipation of live-fire cooking throughout the gathering.
Our team is typically on-site for approximately 6–10 hours, including setup, fire preparation, cooking, service, and cleanup. Exact timing varies depending on the menu and scope of the event.
8. How far in advance should I reserve my date?
Because we intentionally accept a limited number of private experiences, we recommend reaching out as soon as you have a confirmed or tentative event date.
Prime weekends, holidays, and dates during our busiest seasons may book considerably further in advance.
If your date is flexible, please let us know when inquiring and we can discuss available options.
9. Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes. Because each menu is curated individually, we can accommodate many dietary preferences and restrictions, including vegetarian and gluten-free selections.
Please share any allergies, dietary restrictions, or preferences with us during the planning process so we can determine the appropriate menu accommodations for your gathering.
10. Do you serve pork? What if some guests don't eat pork?
Traditional Argentine Asado may include select pork items such as chorizo, but pork is not required.
If you or your guests prefer a pork-free menu, we would be happy to customize the experience with selections featuring beef, poultry, seafood, vegetables, and other alternatives.
Simply let us know during the planning process so we can design the menu accordingly.
11. Do you provide beverages or alcohol?
At this time, beverages and alcoholic beverages are provided by the host.
We would, however, be happy to make recommendations for wines and other beverages that pair beautifully with your selected Asado menu.
12. What happens if the weather is bad?
Because authentic Asado is prepared over an open fire, our culinary setup must remain outdoors.
For rain or other inclement weather, a suitable covered outdoor cooking area may be required. Depending on the property and event, protective tenting or adjustments to the layout may also be possible.
We discuss weather considerations with every host in advance and work together to establish an appropriate contingency plan.
13. What does the host need to provide?
Requirements vary depending on the experience, but hosts are generally responsible for providing dining tables, seating, linens, dinnerware, glassware, table décor, and beverages unless otherwise arranged.
Our team provides the specialized live-fire cooking equipment and culinary setup required for the Asado.
During the planning process, we will review your property and event details with you so everyone knows exactly what will be provided.
14. Can I schedule a tasting before my event?
At this time, we do not offer private tastings.
Because our menus and experiences are individually curated and much of the experience revolves around cooking over live fire at the event itself, we focus on designing your menu collaboratively during the planning process.
15. How do I reserve an event?
Begin by submitting an inquiry through our website with your preferred date, event location, approximate guest count, and a little about what you're envisioning.
Our team will review your inquiry and, if the date is available, provide additional information about the experience and investment. From there, we can schedule a consultation to discuss your celebration and prepare a personalized proposal.
16. What is your cancellation policy?
Reservation retainers and cancellation terms are outlined in each client's agreement and will be reviewed before booking.
Because we reserve your date specifically for your event and begin planning and preparation in advance, cancellation and rescheduling terms vary based on timing and circumstances.
