The hotel embedded in this event center used to be the Holiday Inn years ago. We have all the elements of fine dining in quality and service, but not a stuffy pretentiousness.” “This might be their fourth continent in seven days we want them to come in and decompress. “We wanted people to feel like they are coming home, hence the fireplace and the soft seating,” Eric says. The restaurant is a welcoming place for travelers. “We are very excited to be Southfield’s event center hub, especially considering our location at the crossroads of Telegraph, I-696 and Northwestern Highways - all the major arteries in Southfield,” Regina says. The restaurant has three private dining rooms that seat 30 to 40 people - perfect for small gatherings and training sessions. “We want people to come in and have great food and great options, but we don’t want them to be intimidated by the food, beverage or the venue.”Ī full-service restaurant, the Nomad Grill is located inside an enormous event center with more than 20,000 square feet of event space.

#NOMAD GRILL PORTABLE#

Considering the fact that it’s easy to sink nearly as much into a full-fletched grill, folks like me might rather buy something portable so it can be easily taken anywhere while also garnering a design that’s bound to stand out from the competition.The Epicurean Group, the corporate force behind familiar names such as the Novi Chophouse, the Plaza Deli, Soul Café and Epic Kosher Catering, has recently opened the Nomad Grill in Southfield adjacent to the newly renovated Premier Best Western Hotel on Telegraph (formerly the Holiday Inn of Southfield). Yes, it does cost six times more this alternative from Char-Griller, but as is the case with Traeger Ranger, it has nothing on the looks of NOMAD. For anyone in the same boat as me, this makes NOMAD’s portable grill not only a solid option for travel but even for home. Since I don’t tend to cook for more than a few people at once, I have never been attracted to or felt the need to shop for an overly large option. 9to5Toys’ Takeĭespite the fact that I haven’t been doing it lately, I really enjoy grilling my meals. Pricing is set at $599, which manages to cost more $200 more than what you’d spend on Traeger Ranger. Orders are now open for the new NOMAD Grill and Smoker, but stock appears to be limited at the moment. Intake and exhaust dampers throughout are said to “distribute heat evenly to cook faster with less energy.” NOMAD claims this is enough space to grill up to 30 burgers at once. Once opened, grillers are greeted with 425 square inches of cooking space.

Despite how hot the inside will get when cooking, the company’s SurfaceSafe technology is able to keep outside shell temperatures “remarkably low.” NOMAD touts this as empowering owners to set it “on many unconventional surfaces.” The exterior of NOMAD’s portable grill is comprised of aircraft-grade aluminum and military-spec hardware. Its suitcase-shaped form-factor manages to fit everything you need into a compact design that beckons you to take it on your next trip.

NOMAD’s portable grill cooks your favorite dishes anywhereįolks that like to move around but still cook their own meals are bound to love the new NOMAD Grill and Smoker.
