2fifty x Niman Ranch: Built on Patience

In real barbecue, there are no shortcuts. It comes down to the fire and the quality of the meat.

For four years, we’ve been working toward one goal: bringing Niman Ranch pork to our pits. For Pitmaster and James Beard Semifinalist Fernando González, sourcing the right ingredients is the foundation of everything we serve.

This isn't just a new supplier; it’s a win for our entire community. Because you kept showing up, 2fifty now moves the volume required to partner with the best in the business.

Why it matters:

  • The Source: Niman Ranch works with independent U.S. family farmers who raise pork humanely, without antibiotics or added hormones.
  • The Bite: High-quality marbling means a clean, tender pull off the bone. No mush.
  • The Flavor: Clean, pork-forward taste that respects the smoke.

Everything at 2fifty is done with intention. It took us four years to get the spare ribs we’ve always wanted for you, but they were worth the wait.

The best pork we’ve ever cooked is on the menu today.
