Corktown, Detroit

We cook
in the dark.

Cinder is a Corktown chophouse.
Dry-aged beef, a live fire, and the best table in Detroit after 8.

Forty-five days in the cellar. One night on the fire.

The Cellar

Aged in the dark

We hang whole cuts in our cellar until the fat turns to butter.
Then we put them over open flame.
That's the whole trick, and it takes weeks.

Low light, loud enough.
The bar runs late and so does the kitchen.
Come for the steak, stay because you don't want to leave.
