Plancha, infiernillo, parrillero, asador, the dome-before he knew it he had a line of parrillas that spanned styles from griddle to broiler. “That is where I started working with my blacksmith, Unlimited Metalwork, to design what I was looking for, looking at designs from Mallman and others from here and there.” In Uruguay and Argentina, grills, or parrillas, have a separate brazier where wood or lump charcoal is burned to prepare embers that are then shoveled under the grill to moderate temperature. In 2019, the couple bought a small farm in rural Columbia County, which they envisioned using as a potential wedding and event venue where Ruiz could offer Uruguayan-style grilling as a catering option. His previous career in law enforcement didn’t allow for the life of seasonal migration the couple wanted, so they switched to hospitality to be able to spend time with family in both hemispheres.
The path to Embers wasn’t a direct one for Ruiz, who, with his American wife, had previously run a seasonal craft beer bar in the beach city of Punta del Este. The pop-up is so named for the style of cooking-big hunks of meat cooked low and slow over embers, as opposed to the Brazilian or American penchant for high-heat searing. Though radically changing American dining customs is a bit out of reach, Ruiz did set out to bring a taste of that tradition to the beloved Ghent cafe Bartlett House’s first seasonal, outdoor dining pop-up, Embers. It’s totally different than, ‘OK we’re going to be seated by the table by 6:30 and everything comes out.’” It will be in stages-just little dishes every time. “You spend the whole afternoon or evening there, and at different times a piece of red meat or a veggie or provolone cheese will come off the grill. “The whole concept is more about being together with family and friends around the fire than the food itself,” says Uruguayan-born chef Leo Ruiz. In Las Pampas, where red wine practically flows like water and beef is king, the asado is a long, slow, sacred affair and a regular part of social life. I would definitely stop in again because the food was that good.Like their Argentine cousins across La Plata river, Uruguayans are master grillers. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because I thought the food was small for the price and a member of my party wasn't a fan of the green beans. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious. This place looked busy from the parking lot but was able to quickly get a table. "Got a chance to check out Midtown Caboose while traveling through Tallahassee. I can't say enough good things about this place if you're in Florida at midtown stop by the midtown caboose!!!!" Had a PB&j cheeseburger and a Georgia peach tea. "Great wait staff amazing atmosphere and the food is out of this world. The hot BBQ and Trainwreck pair well with the onion rings in my opinion, they add a bit of heat to the crunch texture of the onion ring." The tater tots were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect! The onion rings were also good. The Liberty bell burger is a burger with an entire Philly cheese steak on it which was delicious. Maybe if they were sautéed onions instead it would have matched the rest of the burger.
The panhandle was good, but the red peppers kind of threw off the burger. If you’ve never heard of it, chances are you’ve heard of Wells Brothers which was operated by the same people! We got the Panhandle burger and the liberty bell for lunch. "Midtown Caboose is a classic Tallahassee restaurant. Definitely one of my favorite local places, especially for a burger!"

But I also love the meatball sub with pesto! The sweet potato fries and mac & cheese are the best sides, but all are good. I like trying new things, as they have an enormous menu, but one of my faves has always been the Raegan. "I've eaten here countless times over the years, and literally never had a bad meal. Will definitely be back! Super cozy and comfortable location as well." You can tell they make their own dressing. Kids ate their whole meal and wife loved the Cobb salad. One of the best hamburgers I’ve ever had.
