Dinner cooked by an active volcano
Looks like I need to go back to the Canary Islands.
I must go here.
Rather than relying on fire, electricity or natural gas, chefs at El Diablo heat their meat over a still-active volcano.
The one-of-a-kind grill is not spewing with lava (it hasn’t erupted since 1824); instead an iron grate sits over a circular basalt pit that funnels the earth’s natural heat to the surface, where temperatures range between 400C and 600C.

I've had street food cooked over what looked to be real coal in China, I guess it could have been some really SOLID charcoal(quite smoky it was too), but did not look like it, it was mighty tasty

I've been telling everyone who would listen that we should build a grill over the gas fissure in Azerbaijan which the Soviets set fire to and nobody has been able to put out ever since.

OK, so apparently the food isn't that great - but how's the service/atmosphere?
I'm vegetarian, but a couple of my friends are meat eaters that love "experiences", and this does sound like the kind of thing they'd enjoy.
