Steven Sturm
Mr. Sturm joined Firebirds as the Executive Chef in August 2000 and was instrumental in the development and evolution of the Firebirds menu, featuring wood grilled specialties with a southwest flair. Firebirds unique blend of seasonings, spices and sauces are designed to make each dish flavorful from beginning to end. By balancing sweet, sour, salty and spicy and pairing those sensations with different colors and textures, every bite is designed to elicit another. By grilling over an open flame we enhance the flavor of our food. Fire sears in the juices of the meat, while the aroma of hickory, oak and mesquite mingles with our seasonings and infuses the senses.
