It somehow seems like the reopening of UNI was just yesterday. Turning a shoebox sized restaurant into what it is in three weeks was spectacularly stressful. I didn’t know what the future would hold but I guess it worked out ok. Happy 5th birthday @uni_boston. You’ll get the birthday party that you deserve the second that it’s safe to do so. #happybirthday 📸: @beautifulcuisine
Trying to find some normalcy so I brought back the unagi and foie gras. This time it’s with darjeeling kabayaki, bee pollen, and hearts of palm-citrus salad. #food #boston
Suites are open tonight!
Foie gras mousse with house-made English muffin, poached blueberries, corn pudding, charred cipollini, and anise hyssop. #food #summer
Santa Barbara urchin and sweet shrimp ceviche tostada with salsa habanero, mango, and sungold tomato. #food #ceviche #tostada
Without federal aid, the pandemic threatens to permanently close 85% of independent restaurants. 16M people risk losing their jobs. It’s time Congress steps up to #SaveRestaurants by passing the RESTAURANTS Act. Share this video and take action now at SaveRestaurants.com.
If the pandemic has taught me anything, it’s to be malleable. So, today we launch the UNI Raw Bar. It’s available from 12-close Tuesday through Sundays. Oysters with rotating accompaniments, aguachiles, ceviches, shrimp cocktail, canned rosé and sake out on the patio? Not a bad way to spend a sunny afternoon in the city. Get it.
Fried clams and lobster rolls from 12-4 today. #uniclamshack #summer #friedclams #lobsterroll
Starting tomorrow, the team and I are turning @uni_boston into #uniclamshack Fried clams, three different lobster rolls, onion strings, fries, canned rosé and sake will be available from 12-4 Tuesday through Sunday. Order though Toast or feel free to come up to the “takeout window.” #friedclams #lobsterroll #frenchfries #summer
Watermelon and tomatoes with house made cottage cheese, tomato xo, sea grapes, pancetta, and migas. #summer #food #tomato
Scallop sashimi with hyssop chimichurri, roasted peaches, kosho-peach emulsion, and burnt miso granola. #sashimi #summer #food
Happy birthday to this beautiful lady! It’s pretty amazing that this is the first time that I can wish her a happy birthday as my fiancé. @amossays you make me smile even in the middle of pandemic. I promise we’ll have a proper old fashioned soon.
This warms my heart. Thank you so much to all of our guests for coming out and showing their support to the team at UNI who worked tirelessly to reopen. ❤️ you all. #boston #patio #newnormal

Past few days I’ve been stunned trying make sense of George Floyd’s death.
The video.
The plea for breath.
The callous response.
The racism.
The killing.
This is our ongoing disease.
I’ve had cops in my family.
Good men.
And there’s a cop code, granting you the authority to use force if your life is in danger.
But when a man is handcuffed, on the ground, no longer a threat, with your brothers in arms standing around watching and he struggles to say, “please I can’t breathe” when your knee is on his neck.. not his back, but his neck - cutting off his air.
Cop code must become moral code.
Ethics code.
HUMANITY code.
Knowing that if you don’t ease up, then that man is going to die.
So when you decide to not ease up, your intention is to kill.
And that’s what this was.
George Floyd, said “officer I can’t breathe” as he struggled for air.
He said these words a total of 15 times. Not once. Not twice.
15 times.
These officers will be charged, I’m positive of that.
Held accountable.
But then where’s the greater accountability?
The leadership to healing.
More importantly, the leadership to EQUALITY.
We ultimately win when we can normalize equality.
I’m so sorry to the Floyd family. My heart breaks for you.
Let the process begin now.

This was exactly one year ago today and it still seems surreal. I hope that this all passes soon so that the @beardfoundation nominees this year can experience the thrill. Congratulations to all who made the list and an even bigger congrats to @kenoringer on his nomination. I hope to see you in Chicago soon.
