You will finish by mixing and matching different sweet Japanese flavors to make a mochi dessert.

Simple chicken skewers are the staple of many backyard barbecues. Chef Andrew throws this staple appetizer/main dish on its head. Starting with locally sourced chickens and then dissecting that chicken to render every usable portion, ends with cooking the skewers over a 1200 degree pen flame. Some closely held to the vest sauces some traditional Japanese pairings only add to the experience. Chef Andrew and his partner work well together, moving effortlessly around a tiny kitchen space, each knowing their part, knowing the other's next move before they do it. They are personable, approachable and willing to talk about flavor profiles, sauces and cooking techinques.
