This April, Cinder House at Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis invites guests and locals to kick-off grilling season as the industry’s finest come together for a gourmet barbecue on the Hotel’s expansive rooftop patio. Two evenings of cooking demos, entertainment, traditional and South American-inspired barbecue will take place at one of the city’s most vibrant dining scenes.   

On April 23 and 24, 2021, James Beard Award-winning Chef Gerard Craft and the Cinder House team will collaborate with Big Green Egg’s official pitmaster and guest chef Jack Arnold as they serve up American wagyu ribeye loin and New York strip loin from KOW Steaks. Sit back, relax and sip on cold beer from local favorite Side Project Brewing while sampling choice cuts of meat, sides that feature the season’s freshest local vegetables, and house made dipping sauces that include aji verde, piri piri and more.  

Parlaying the ease of a backyard barbecue, steaks from 125-year-old family run farm KOW will be grilled to perfection by Arnold and Craft as these pros demonstrate the art of seasoning and roasting wagyu in a variety of ways. “I’m honored to partner with Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, Cory King of Side Project Brewing and KOW steaks for a terrific event in one of the best barbecue cities in America. Being on the rooftop overlooking the St. Louis skyline and Gateway Arch, while working alongside Chef Craft is a dream come true.  Expect awesome demos, delicious food, terrific cold brews and a lot of energy at this backyard barbecue,” says Arnold.  

Space is limited to 50 guests per night with socially distanced tables staggered on the outdoor terrace of Cinder House restaurant, located on the 8th floor of Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis. The two-night event starts at 6:00pm on April 23rd and 24th, tickets are $95 per person, excluding tax and gratuity. Each ticket includes one beer courtesy of Side Project Brewing or a frozen Caipirinha from Cinder House.
