About Neal Fraser

Chef Neal, acclaimed for his beloved LA restaurants Redbird and BLD, serves up wood-fired rotisserie fare at his newest venture - Fritzi. He began his culinary career in his hometown of Los Angeles where he worked as a line cook at Wolfgang Puck’s Eureka Brewery and Restaurant. His experience at the restaurant inspired him to enroll in the Culinary Institute of America in New York, which opened up doors for him with positions at Joachim Splichal’s Pinot Bistro, Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, and Hans Rockenwagner’s Rox in Los Angeles.

"This is 35 ounces (or something obscene like that). One entrée serves four people! It's pan-roasted until the outside of the steak is charred all over and then sliced tableside. I get the bone, which is amazing as well. This is just a super steak."

"Chashu-style grilled baby octopus is something I've wanted to make but never put it on the menu. This red glazed octopus with simple greens is well-charred, tender, and very flavorful."
