I don't think this is what the Ramo means. The context is that smoking and
pickling are not considered BA, and I think when he says "bishul shel esh"
it includes any form of cooking by heat. Otherwise cooking with an electric
hob or deep-fryer wouldn't be BA either.

That said, I really don't understand why BA is an issue at all in a
Jewish-owned restaurant with kosher supervision. None of the reasons for
the gezeira seem to apply. Even for Sephardim, since the SA is meikel in
seif 4 in the case of servants in a beit yisrael.
