Where Wild Feeds the Fire

Chef-led fishing and culinary adventures on the Oregon Coast.
This isn’t just a fishing trip — it’s an immersive journey into wild waters, woodsmoke, and the kind of hospitality that leaves a mark.

Meet Chef Andrew Garrett

Chef. Outdoorsman. Storyteller.
With a background in fine dining and a deep love for the Pacific Northwest, Chef Andrew brings both precision and soul to every Drift & Flame experience. Whether it’s filleting tuna at sea or torching crème brûlée tableside, his food reflects the wildness of the landscape and the heart of the crew.

The Drift & Flame Story

Born from a lifetime on the water and around the fire, Drift & Flame blends rugged coastal adventure with fire-forward cuisine. We believe the best meals aren’t found in restaurants — they’re pulled from the sea, kissed by smoke, and shared around a long table with stories in the air.

This experience is for those who want more than just a catch — they want connection, craft, and coastal immersion.

Our Philosophy

At Drift & Flame, food is more than fuel. It’s a bridge — between land and sea, strangers and friends, the past and what comes next.
We cook over open flame, not because it’s trendy, but because it roots us in something real. Every dish tells a story. Every trip builds a memory.
