Strawfire, Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi Review and Exclusive Interview with Chef Ross Shonhan

I recently visited Strawfire, the restaurant by Chef Ross Shonhan, which opened in 2024 at the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental Abu Dhabi.
Strawfire takes its name and philosophy from warayaki, a style of Japanese cooking over straw flames.
