Dry Brining: Behind Every BRAVA Protein in Barrie
Every BRAVA protein starts with dry brining before meeting the open flame. Get to know the first step behind your Barrie favourites.
Before the flame comes the first step. At BRAVA in Barrie, every protein is dry brined in BRAVA's signature proprietary spice blend.
That means dry brining isn't reserved for the chicken. It's part of the preparation behind every protein on the menu.
The blend is proprietary. The important detail for your next order is simple: whichever protein you choose, that starting point stays the same.
Dry brining is one part of the story. Next comes the open flame, with your protein grilled only after you order.
What Makes It Different
Chicken Starts Here
BRAVA uses fresh Canadian chicken. Chicken, wings and pulled chicken are all dry brined in BRAVA's signature proprietary spice blend.
Beyond The Chicken
St. Louis ribs, pulled pork, BRAVA sausage and the steak for our shaved steak sandwiches are dry brined in BRAVA's signature proprietary spice blend. Different proteins. The same first step.
Then Comes Live Fire
After that preparation comes cooking to order over open flame. BRAVA proteins are fresh, never frozen, and never fried. There are no deep fryers anywhere in the kitchen.
Sauce Is Another Choice
Every protein is dry brined in BRAVA's signature proprietary spice blend, whichever house-made sauce you choose. Go with Piri Piri in mild or hot, BRAVA Barbecue, or Mediterranean lemon herb and garlic.
