Eagle Rock Block Party!

The Eagle Rock Block Party is already a week from tomorrow, and we here at Wildwood plan to pull more than a few rabbits out of the oven---though not literally this time, as we'll likely be slow roasting a pork shoulder.  

Stop by on the 26th between noon and 9pm for complimentary wood-fired nosh, local libations, and fun culinary demonstrations every hour on the hour.  Chef Michael Gerard will wow the crowd with lessons in everything from Brazilian BBQ to marshmallow trees.  The tunes will be flowing, the shopping will be local, and Yelp will have a photo booth in our front yard!  

Check out more details on Facebook and Patch and we hope to see you there!

Marco Island gets a taste of Brazil!

When the chefs at the Hilton Hotel in Marco Island, Florida found themselves longing for the BBQ of Brazil, they recruited our very own Chef Michael Gerard to design them this beauty: a 19-skewer, no-smoke BBQ that uses infrared burners in place of charcoal.  As the meat cooks, succulent juices collect in a water bath that runs along the bottom, creating a delicious steam and allowing for easy clean-up.  We're guessing a couple of beachfront BBQs are in order.

It's Here: Our Big, Beautiful Pre-Assembled Copper Oven!

We thought we'd usher in the first official day of summer with some glamour-shots of the newest beauty in our line of precast, wood-fired ovens. We took a Facebook poll earlier this year to figure out what we should call this vision of shiny copper, and there was a tie between "Golden God" and "The Beast." What do you think?

Although we pride ourselves in offering several models of our high quality, easy-to-assemble wood-fired ovens, we knew some of you are looking for something you can simply drop into your kitchen or outdoor patio so you can get cooking right away. Our customers are our number one priority, so we heard your call and listened! These gorgeous copper ovens are ready to kick off your wood-fired culinary adventures NOW. Our products are a constant source of inspiration to us here at Wildwood and we've made some of our best Neapolitan pizzas in this oven...and that's only scratching the surface of what this beast can do.

We're convinced that this spectacular oven would not only enhance any kitchen but will become the centerpiece in your culinary kingdom.  Email us at info@wildwoodovens.com - we'd love to help you make this innovative piece part of your kitchen.

Happy Summer Solstice everyone!

Are You A Locavore?

Do you buy most of your meat and produce from local farmers? We love the sustainability and support to local businesses that being a locavore encourages, so we've done one better by growing our very own produce.  I think a wise person once said, "You'll never taste anything as good as what you've grown yourself."  We agree.

Our garden is coming along so nicely and I wanted to share some pics with you.  Feel free to link back to your garden- we love to share stories with our Wildwood community.

Our Japanese eggplant are growing by the day.  These "nasu" (that's eggplant in Japanese!) have only tiny, edible seeds and a skin much more tender than their larger counterparts.  Once they're ready, we'll probably just slice them up, brush them with olive oil, sprinkle a bit of sea salt and freshly ground pepper and then sear them over a hot hibachi grill inside of our wood oven until they're tender.  They'd also be fantastic slow roasted with a good smear of sweet, red miso paste.  Who's getting hungry?

Some yellow crookneck squash:

National Brisket Day!

BBQ is a big part of what we do here at Wildwood, so of course we jumped at the chance to celebrate National Brisket Day which was last Saturday.  Not that we need a special occasion to eat meat of any kind, but it was nice to mark the holiday with a big, juicy brisket.
