The Perfect Pairing: Open Flame Cooking and Mexican Cuisine at Sweetbriar’s Cinco de Mayo Celebration

Mexican cuisine is known for its bold, vibrant flavors, rich spices, and diverse culinary traditions. At Sweetbriar, we elevate these authentic flavors by pairing them with our signature open flame cooking technique, creating dishes that are smoky, charred, and infused with a depth of flavor that only a wood-fired grill can deliver. This Cinco de Mayo, we invite you to experience how this unique combination of techniques and traditions comes together at Sweetbriar for a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Open flame cooking has always been central to Sweetbriar’s approach, and it is the perfect match for Mexican dishes, which often rely on the smoky, robust flavors that grilling provides. From fire-roasted meats to charred vegetables, the natural heat of the wood fire intensifies the rich spices and fresh ingredients of Mexican cuisine, creating a harmony of flavors that brings each dish to life.

Imagine biting into perfectly grilled carne asada, where the smoky notes from the grill enhance the earthy richness of the marinade. Or picture freshly grilled corn, topped with cotija cheese and a hint of chili, its kernels bursting with flavor from the kiss of the flame. These are just a few examples of how Sweetbriar’s wood-fired cooking enhances the bold flavors of Mexican cuisine, making every dish a celebration of taste.

For our Cinco de Mayo festivities, Chef Bryce Shuman has crafted a special menu that highlights this perfect pairing of Mexican flavors and wood-fired cooking. From sizzling, grilled tacos to roasted seasonal vegetables, every dish brings the heat and excitement of Cinco de Mayo to the table. And of course, no celebration is complete without a drink in hand—our bartenders will be serving up refreshing margaritas made with premium tequila to complement the smoky, spicy notes of the food.

The festive atmosphere at Sweetbriar will make Cinco de Mayo even more special, with lively music, a vibrant crowd, and plenty of delicious food and drinks to enjoy.
