IT’S A BIG F*@KING PODCAST EPISODE!


We sat down at Maple & Ash with Chef + Managing Partner, Danny Grant, and National Spirits + Brand Director, Christina Demas, to talk all things food and drink!


Danny shares the founding story of the hospitality group and how they found their flame. Christina walks us through her cocktail menu and talks about what’s trending right now, including zero proof!


As a first timer, Aaron is introduced to the menu and their “I DON’T GIVE A F*@K” option. Danny dishes their iconic seafood tower and what’s called “beefed up butter”. Plus, the reason why cooking with fire is a difficult art worth mastering.


Danny and Christina also give us a taste of what’s cooking behind the scenes, including what’s ahead for this culinary icon.


We end with a round of wood flamed rapid fire, learning their go-to order at the restaurant and what they would cook for us if we came in to eat!


Dine at 8 W Maple, Chicago, IL.
