## About 500 Degrees
500 Degrees is an open-flame steak restaurant. Owners and chefs Nadim and Ari worked as chefs for more than ten years before opening the first 500 Degrees in 2016. The restaurant has grown to three Sydney venues, and the cooking method has not changed since the day it opened.
What sets 500 Degrees apart:
1. Open-flame cooking. Steaks are cooked over live coals, in the South African braai tradition of sharing a meal around the fire.
2. In-house dry-ageing. Steaks are dry-aged in-house for 30 to 45 days for deeper flavour and tenderness.
3. Farm-fresh meat. The aim is to serve fresh-from-the-farm, top-quality meat to everyday families.
