Our story
A family kitchen, with
a Texas backyard.
Ember & Oak began as a small kitchen on South Lamar with a wood-fired oven, a few long tables, and a deep love for cooking the way our grandparents did — slowly, seasonally, and with whoever showed up that day.
A decade later, we still cook over open flame. We still source from neighbors and small Texas farms. And the table is still set the same way: for two, for ten, for whoever's hungry.
