We spent this summer proving the address was never the asset.
September was the month it started paying us back.

🍍 We cooked for a client in a room that wasn’t ours and made it feel like it was, which is the whole job and still the part I love most.
🍍 We’re in partnership development on two new spaces, the kind of New York rooms you walk into and immediately start planning something. And here’s what I didn’t expect: both of them came out of people we already knew.
🍍 And I spent a few quiet mornings in a home I am still not over and never will be.

The fear was that going nomadic would make us smaller. It did the opposite. The roots just went wider.

None of it has a name yet. All of it is coming. Wait till you see.

We gave up one room, and somehow we have more of them than we did before. That is not the story I expected to be telling in June.

If you’d like to know about any of it before everyone else does, there’s a list. The people on it hear everything 48 hours early, always. flaweless.com/join

Thank you for being along for all of it.

Flawelessly,

Two of those stories are in Issue Six. The rest are for the book.

Twelve years is a lot of New York nights, and almost none of what I remember from them has anything to do with a menu. That’s the part nobody warns you about going into this work — you think you’re in the food business right up until the night you realize you’re in the life business, and then you can’t unsee it.

Last week we attended the first Golden Cart Awards at Cipriani Wall Street. Everyone in that room is first to market, first to the idea, first to see that this industry is changing. If you were there, you know.

Thank you for a fabulous evening and understanding how integral hospitality is to all of it!

Before we change a single thing, I wanted you to see it exactly as it is.

This place is currently holding the shape of someone else’s life. Someone else slept in that corner. Someone else hung their coats there, worked in that dark room, looked out at that garden. We are not the first people this place has welcomed, and we won’t be the last.

That’s the part I keep turning over. A room does a job for whoever is standing in it, and this one has been doing it a very long time before we showed up.

NEXT: Episode 04, The Vision. Stay tuned! 🍍

September is when December gets decided.
The company dinner people still talk about in January is the one that got planned while there was room to design it, not just fill it. That window is now.

If it’s on your list, start with the link in our bio. 🍍

“I love being alone with you, my love.” I say that to Jason all the time, and I never noticed how strange it sounds until I wrote it down.

Being alone. With someone. Not a contradiction — the whole point.

So if you know someone you love being alone with, send them this. Then pick up the phone and invite them over. Here’s to bubbles and no regrets.

That’s how the table grows. ISSUE SIX of The Entertainer, link in bio. 🍍

Twenty-five years today.
I love this city the way you love a person who has been through something. Not in spite of it. Because of how they carried it.

New York doesn’t get over things. It absorbs them, keeps going, and somehow comes out warmer. I’ve spent my whole life in the rooms where that happens — tables set for people who just needed to not be alone. That’s how this place heals. It gathers.

There is nowhere else like it. There never was.

The last thing I have time to do in September is cook two dinners.
One for the kid, one for the grown-ups — heck no.

This is the one that solved it in our house and a true go to every back-to-school season. Two sheet pans, one oven, one hour, and everybody eats the same thing — including the nanny, and the kid who stayed late from the playdate.

CHICKEN
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken legs · avocado oil · 1 tbsp salt · 1 tbsp pepper
Oven to 400. Foil-line a rimmed sheet, coat the legs on every side with oil, lay them skin-side up, season.

SQUASH
1 kabocha, seeded and cut into chunks · avocado oil · 1 tsp salt · 1 tsp pepper · 5 tbsp butter
Same foil, same oil. Season the orange flesh, then turn the chunks skin-side up.

Both pans go in together on separate racks. One hour. Use convection if you have it.

Scoop the squash out of the skins into a bowl with the butter already waiting at the bottom. It comes out looking dry and chalky — don’t panic, the butter fixes it. Mash to chunky-mashed-potato texture, salt again.

Add something green. Set the table.

Three things that make it work:
Bone-in and skin-on, always. Nuggets won’t cut it.
Kabocha over butternut if you can find it. It will change your family’s life, I promise!
Cutting a kabocha is a genuine fight — sharp knife, one big whack, then your body weight. Full technique is on the blog.
