Charthouse and the Sheraton Hotel,” he says. “As soon as
I started doing functions like weddings, banquets and ice
sculptures at The Moorings, I just thought it was really cool.
I’ve been fortunate to have some really good mentors.”
The Braford’s menu, described as “fine dining from
ranch to table,” is carefully and collaboratively curated by
DeAquair, Gutierrez and the Adams brothers, featuring all
the classics you might expect from an upscale steakhouse.
There’s the ever-popular filet mignon, New York strip loin
and 20-ounce Chateaubriand — a portion large enough for
two and then some. Then they offer the ribeye, T-bone and
porterhouse steaks that are dry-aged for up to 21 days, a
process that encourages the natural enzymes in the meat
to break down muscle tissue for improved texture, flavor
and mouthfeel.
The preparation is a component of the Braford brand:
“Our rubs consist of our own blend of Hawaiian and
Himalayan sea salt and our own organic pepper blend,”
DeAquair says. “We don’t have salt and pepper on the
table; we have containers with each of those salts. We make
our own steak sauce and offer demi-glace, béarnaise, hollandaise
and Oscar sauces that are a la carte.”
Rounding out the entrees is a New Zealand rack of lamb,
a double Berkshire pork chop with bourbon-maple pear
compote, a herb-crusted chicken and the local fresh catch
of the day, plus all the evening’s specials. Meals come
with a choice of soup or salad made with organic and
locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. “We buy
from Osceola Organics, Hogan Farms and local farmers,”
DeAquair says, adding that he has a passion for sourcing
locally grown produce that elevates his food. >>
