Ember & Bone is a traveling kitchen run by Bastian Caldeth and Yucca Al'Sahra. Bastian brings the culinary craft, a deep knowledge of East-style ramen traditions, and an honest understanding of what makes a bowl worth finishing. Yucca brings the desert, sourcing every herb, spice and ingredient straight from Thanalan and the surrounding regions. Together the kitchen makes something that feels like two very different places at once. Come find the booth, sit down, and eat something good.
East-style bowls built on Thanalan broths. Bastian's recipes, Yucca's ingredients. Prepared to order, no shortcuts.
Clean and golden. The kind of bowl that does not ask too much of you and gets the job done quietly.
BrothDodo bone broth, rendered over twelve hours (Central Thanalan flock), wild onion oil (Thanalan plains), sun lemon finish (Upper Thanalan).
BowlPulled dodo meat, soft dodo egg, charred wild onion, cinnamon and thyme oil drizzle (Eastern Thanalan). Clear amber broth, poured at the table.
TasteLight and clean, with a citrus edge at the finish. Good for anyone who wants something honest without heat. A solid first bowl if you have never tried the kitchen before.
300 gilThe one that stays with you. Heavy enough to be a real meal and dark enough to mean it.
BrothAldgoat marrow bone broth, rendered long and reduced twice (Northern Thanalan herds). Cinnamon bark (Eastern Thanalan), clove oil (Upper La Noscea, trade import), charred wild onion.
BowlAldgoat slices braised slow, soft egg, dried chili oil (Eastern Thanalan border), rendered bone marrow on top. Dark broth, thick enough to coat the spoon.
TasteDeep, warming and rich from the first sip. The clove and cinnamon come through the fat. The marrow dissolves into the broth at the table. Not subtle and not meant to be.
500 gilSharp, red and carries real heat. For people who already know what they are ordering.
BrothCoeurl meat broth (Central Thanalan), dried chili at full dose (Eastern Thanalan border), thyme oil (Thanalan hills), fire crystal trace for heat retention near Halatali.
BowlCoeurl strips, soft egg, wild onion, chili oil on the surface, cinnamon bark garnish. Red broth. The color is accurate.
TasteHot from the first sip and consistent all the way through. The thyme keeps it from being only heat. The fire crystal trace means the broth stays warm longer than it has any right to. Not for the timid.
No meat. Unexpectedly complex. Yucca's answer to everyone who figured the desert had nothing for them.
BrothChamomile and wild onion broth, long steep (Thanalan lowlands). Star anise (Eastern Thanalan), sun lemon blossom (Upper Thanalan), cinnamon, amber honey finish (Eastern Thanalan traders).
BowlRoasted Thanalan root vegetables, soft egg on request, chamomile oil drizzle, dried sun lemon peel, wild onion crisp on top. Pale broth, golden at the edges.
TasteLight and aromatic. The chamomile keeps it from going sharp, the star anise gives it structure and the honey rounds out the finish. Different from what the name suggests. Worth ordering to find out.
250 gilTwo blends, one from Yucca and one from Bastian. Both made with Thanalan herbs. Both available hot or over ice with a straw. The choice is yours, and so is the cup.
✦ available at every event ✦ gil only ✦
She grew up on rooftops and dust. But she always knew which flowers to keep and which ones to leave alone. This one, she kept.
IngredientsSun lemon blossom (Upper Thanalan), chamomile head (Thanalan lowlands), dried wolfbane petal at ornamental dose, rendered safe and fragrant (Central Thanalan), amber honey (Eastern Thanalan traders), cinnamon bark (Eastern Thanalan).
Tasting NotesSweet and tart, golden in color. Floral up front, with the lemon cutting through the chamomile's softness and the honey rounding out the finish. A dried chamomile head floats on top when served hot.

He is not interested in flowers. He is interested in the cup working correctly. This one works correctly.
IngredientsThyme (Thanalan hills), cinnamon bark (Eastern Thanalan), one whole clove per cup (Upper La Noscea, trade import), wild onion leaf at low dose (Thanalan plains).
Tasting NotesStrong, warming, and direct. Thyme up front with the cinnamon holding steady behind it and the clove arriving last, clean and grounding. No sweetener unless you ask for it. He will tell you the hot version is better. He is right.

Bastian Caldeth & Yucca Al'Sahra
// The Cook and the Herb KeeperBastian runs the kitchen. He grew up around East-style cooking, learned ramen from people who took the craft seriously, and carried that knowledge with him into a life that took him very far from where it started. The bowls on the menu are his, built from his understanding of what a broth needs to do and how long you have to let it go to get there. He is not loud about it. The food does that part.
Yucca handles everything that grows in the ground. She knows Thanalan's plants the way most people know their own names, which ones carry heat, which ones sweeten, which ones do something useful in a broth and which ones you leave alone. The kitchen runs on East traditions and Thanalan ingredients, and that combination is her contribution to the whole thing.
Ember & Bone travels to events across Eorzea. When they are not on the road, Bastian and Yucca run Sand & Thorn, a fixed apothecary with a different kind of menu entirely. The same people, a different table. Both operate by the same rules.
