This is about as proud as you will ever see me and it’s because I worked hard to have something to contribute here to a young entrepreneur running his business with family, creating something truly special every single service. Just ask @jrcholico who KNOWS when I’m obsessed;)

I started enjoying these fabulous burgers a little before chef @nbeitcher joined us in March of 2025 to develop a breads program, getting him hooked! I knew he loved what chef @zeal_hernan was creating with @lahamburguesaaz when he insisted on getting a second burger for the car ride home. We got to know chef through being regular customers and offering some desserts to his customers but my heart was always on making buns for these burgers that blew my mind every single time. So we set to work on shokupan testing which got us pretty close but not exactly what chef was thinking as ours was a bit too durable. We sat with that for a bit and came back to it with my suggestions that we up the hydration to create something a bit more porous with our bread managers @_chefalexv and @bread_boi_az which got us just over the finish line with chef, who subsequently had us lower the eggs as the final tweak.

To work with and for those I respect is EVERYTHING to me and I couldn’t have more respect for @lahamburguesaaz and all the thoughtful, delicious hard work that has them appreciated far and wide here in Phoenix. The cherry on top is getting to promote this collab using the help of @hunterr.smith who makes a mean smash burger himself for @capital.farms as he and chef Hernan are friends and always have a blast working together❤️💪🏼💪🏽🤌🏽🤌🏼🤗

_____________________

This one is special to me and taste like home; Texas where I grew up traveling across the state trying bbq every weekend. Even sleeping in a lawn chair overnight just to try @snowsbbq once. Smoking my all time favorite cut of beef until it’s tender, sticky, and almost fall apart while still holding its shape is a craft that’s taken years to dial in. Beef cheek is truly my favorite in every way. 

I hope everyone enjoys this one! 🫶🏼

These photos capture a lot more than a photo shoot.

They capture one of the biggest days in Schefs Farms history.

The line never stopped.
The tickets never stopped.
The grill never stopped.

At one point we even lost power to the trailer in the middle of the rush. No lights. No ventilation. No AC. We got it back up and running and went right back to work.

That’s just part of building something.

What a lot of people don’t know is @hunterr.smith from Capital Farms spent most of that day right there beside us.

Not behind the camera.

On the grill.

Sweating.
Cooking.
Helping us push through one of the busiest days we’ve ever had.

Only after the rush slowed down did he pull out his camera and start capturing these moments.

That’s the kind of people they are.

People ask why we choose Capital Farms beef.

The answer has never just been the beef.

It’s the people.

Good people.
Hard-working people.
People who show up when it matters.

Hunter, thank you for the help, the friendship, the photos, and for believing in what we’re building.

We’re proud to work alongside you.

And thank you to every single person who came out and supported us. The launch party was something we’ll never forget.

RealFood. Local Ingredients. No Shortcuts 🤝🥩🌱🍔

At Capital Farms, we believe better beef starts with better stewardship. That’s why our Arizona ranching practices are designed not just to sustain the land—but to heal it. Our Corriente cattle thrive with minimal input: no hormones, no unnecessary antibiotics, and little human interference. They live as nature intended. As their smaller frames graze across desert pastures, they naturally disperse native seeds and stimulate soil health—helping restore balance to fragile ecosystems. Their adaptability and genetic resilience make them ideal for the challenges of a warming climate and extreme desert conditions. This isn’t industrial agriculture. It’s a return to land-conscious ranching. Not just sustainable—regenerative. Built on deep respect for the animal, the environment, and the legacy we leave behind.

𝑹𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘. 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕. 𝑻𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕.
Where industrial beef is harvested at 18 months or less, we let nature take its time. At Capital Farms, our Corriente cattle are raised for 48 months or more. That patience yields what you can’t rush: deep flavor, tenderness, and natural marbling that rivals any beef breed. Before harvest, we grain-finish for over 240 days to enhance texture and round out the bold, earthy notes from their desert diet. The result is a steak that doesn’t just taste different—it tastes right. Rich. Clean. Unforgettable.
