Black Smoke in Rotterdam focuses on open-fire barbecue. It occupies a unique location in the monumental Van Nelle Factory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restaurant's industrial decor is fitting for the location. Guests can sit at the "Hot Seats" right next to the open kitchen, where they can watch the pitmasters at work.
The restaurant specializes in "Hell's Kitchen"—instead of traditional cooking methods, everything is prepared over an open flame. The kitchen is equipped with American smokers, South American asado grills, Indian tandoori ovens, and Japanese hibachi grills. There are no gas knobs, only wood and coal to control the temperature. The bar is also known for its creative cocktails.

Arturo Ramón II arrived at the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department on July 5, just a day after floodwaters tore through the building. With only a few people on site shoveling mud, he offered to cook for them and slept under a tree that first night. Seventeen days later, he’s still there—now joined by family and friends—serving thousands of meals to volunteer search-and-rescue crews like the United Cajun Navy, Team Josey, and local residents. World Central Kitchen has since partnered with him to help sustain the effort. A celebrated Texas pitmaster from Wimberley and founder of Blanco River Meat Company, Ramón has been featured on BBQ Brawl (Food Network), American Grilled (Travel Channel), Smoked (Destination America), and the Cooking Channel.
