Happy birthday to Chef Tristan Aitchisonโ€ฆ known to our Providence crew as T-Bone.

I first met Tristan when he was just a kid working at Water Grill, barely out of his teens, already carrying himself with the focus, grit, and quiet determination of someone far beyond his years. When we opened Providence in 2005, there was never a question that he would be part of it. Twenty-one years later, itโ€™s impossible to imagine this restaurant without him.

Over the decades, Iโ€™ve watched Tristan grow into one of the finest chefs I know, not only through his immense talent and discipline, but through his loyalty, consistency, and deep care for the people around him. He has helped shape the culture and soul of this kitchen as much as any dish that has ever left the pass. Generations of young cooks have learned under his guidance, and countless achievements here carry his fingerprints.

What makes this even more meaningful is that Providence has grown alongside Tristanโ€™s life. This restaurant became the place where he met his wife Amy (our longstanding former Sous Chef), where Busy and Wolfie became Providenceโ€™s first grandkids, and where some of lifeโ€™s most important moments unfolded over the years.

Restaurants are built on people, on loyalty, on consistency, on trust, and showing up for one another day after day, year after year. Tristan has done that with unwavering dedication for more than two decades, and I will always be profoundly grateful for it.

Happy birthday, T-Bone. We love you dearly.

The older I get, the more I realize this work is really about paying attention. Paying attention to the seasons, to the ocean, to the people who harvest our food, and to the responsibility that comes with serving it.

None of us solve these problems alone, and none of us do this perfectly. We just try to make thoughtful decisions every day, keep learning, and do right by the ingredients and ecosystems that make restaurants like ours possible in the first place.

Iโ€™m grateful to organizations like , , and for continuing to push these conversations forward and for helping all of us better understand the impact our choices have on the future of our oceans.

And Iโ€™m especially grateful to the Providence team, along with the fishermen, farmers, divers, purveyors, foragers, and guests who care deeply about where food comes from and how it gets to the table.

Thatโ€™s the work. We just keep at it. โ€“ Michael Cimarusti ๐ŸŒŽ

Even the simplest ingredients, when grown with care and handled with intention, can become something extraordinary.

Each week, Executive Pastry Chef hand-processes nearly 100 pounds of raw cacao beans grown on Hawaiiโ€™s Hamakua Coast by John and Susan Bassett.

Guided by the same intention and respect that shape our nightly tasting menu, Chef Mac transforms the beans into a range of house-made dark chocolate confections, each one crafted with precision and purpose.

To our community,

After much consideration, we have decided to remain open tonight (January 30) during the Nationwide Shutdown. This choice was not made lightly. As an independent restaurant, we are balancing our values with the responsibility of supporting our team, who rely on their work here for their livelihoods.

We stand in solidarity with those striking and with our immigrant communities, whose dedication, skill, creativity, and resilience continue to shape our industry. While we are unable to pause operations, we remain committed to supporting our community and are reminded that we can still participate in other ways.

A percentage of todayโ€™s profits will be donated to Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (), a Los Angelesโ€“based nonprofit providing legal services, advocacy, and community support for immigrant and refugee communities.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
