The original chef Michal Hugo Hromas prepares all meals on the fire, whether on the grill, in a cauldron or a tajine, or by other techniques, which he calls "my tin circus". He prepares not only meat on the fire, but also delicious vegetable dishes, baked bread and even desserts.

He has been using the gastronomic pseudonym "Hugo Hromas" since he worked for the Borgo Agnes restaurant in Brno, where several of his namesakes worked. He has been involved in ethnic oriental cuisine for over 20 years, but he has worked in many companies of various styles throughout the Czech Republic as well (House of Wine U Závoje, Aromi, Municipal House, Dahab).

He connects his cooking with charity too. He helps homeless people, pensioners and Syrian children in need through the Cook2help project, which also cooperates with the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders.

He regularly organizes cooking classes at the Riccardo Lucque Laboratory in Prague's Old Town. He was also involved in the birth of street food festivals in the Czech Republic and as part of his project “Nomadis” cooks on an open fire throughout the country.

He shoots the show Ze dvora for the internet television Stream.cz. He also published the original cookbook Fire and Smoke: Recipes prepared on a fire in the open air.
