The Oldest, Most Honest
Cooking Technique.

Three gatherings. Two cities set against the Colorado mountain landscape. Every chef, every dish, every pour — shaped by live flame. Global Fire is not a trend. It is a return to the elemental — smoke, char, and intention, across the world's culinary traditions.

Fire Is the Philosophy.
Global Is the Community.

Global Fire is a love letter to our planet and the rich traditions of live-fire cooking. Ancient techniques. Cultural reverence. The elemental constraint that every culinary tradition on earth shares — and the extraordinary diversity of what cooks do within it.

Fire is the philosophy. Food is the community. Every chef, every dish, every pour must engage live fire — but what they do within that constraint is entirely theirs. Japanese, Mexican, Argentine, West African, American — one element, infinite expressions, one table.

From four successful years building this gathering in Aspen, we are excited to announce a new partnership in Breckenridge — bringing Global Fire to one of Colorado's most storied mountain towns for two landmark evenings in October 2026.
