How we cook

We build the menu around whatever the farms within an hour of Edwardsville are picking that week. It is never quite the same twice, it is always at its best, and almost all of it passes through a 700° oak fire on the way to your table.

Where it comes from

Twelve farms. One hour.

We buy whole harvests from small growers around Madison County and plan the week around what arrives on Tuesday morning.

Our story

From Sunday supper club to Main Street.

Birch & Bramble started as a monthly supper in a friend’s backyard. Three years and one very large oven later, it’s a proper kitchen with the same rule: cook what’s good this week.
