The Path

Adam Cole holds that post today.

The Work Today

At Maple Block Meat Co, whole animals are butchered in-house, everything is smoked on the premises, and sauces and sides are made from scratch. In Cole’s account, the restaurant’s formation had less to do with trend than with timing and a team ready to assemble the work.

Signature

Adam Cole’s signature dishes include Spatchcocked Grilled Chicken and Pimiento Cheese Sandwich.

In Their Words “Barbecue is one of the oldest techniques in the Americas. It’s always been in style, and the time has always been right for eating good food, for good cooking with a good team.” “For us, it was really about our timing and the pieces of the puzzle coming together for our team and the location.”

Acclaim

The public identity around Cole is tied to the kitchen he leads and to barbecue handled end to end, from butchery through smoke.
