Every season we rip up the playbook. Not because the old menu was bad -- it was fire (literally). But standing still isn't in our DNA. When the weather shifts, so do we.
What's New This Spring
We've been testing these items for weeks in the back kitchen, and the crew is unanimous: this might be our strongest seasonal lineup yet.
Santa Maria Tri-Tip Sandwich
This is the headliner. A thick-cut slab of tri-tip rubbed with our house Santa Maria blend -- garlic, black pepper, and dried parsley -- then slow-smoked over red oak for three hours. We slice it thin against the grain and stack it on a toasted sourdough hoagie with:
- Pickled red onion for acid and crunch
- Smoked garlic aioli made in-house daily
- Arugula because even rebels need greens
It's massive. It's messy. It's perfect.
Charred Street Corn Salad
Our elote game was already strong, but this spring we turned it into a full salad situation. Grilled corn cut off the cob, tossed with cotija, cilantro-lime crema, tajin, and diced avocado. Served cold on a bed of shredded cabbage. Light enough for warm days, bold enough for the BURNIN' GRILL name.
Smoked Peach Cobbler
Yeah, we smoke desserts now. Halved peaches go on the cooler side of the grill until they caramelize and pick up just a whisper of mesquite. Then we drop them into a cast-iron skillet with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a biscuit topping that gets baked right over the coals.
Pro tip: Add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Don't even think about skipping it.
What's Leaving
We're rotating out the winter chili bowl and the smoked brisket mac. They'll be back when the temperature drops. Pour one out.
