As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect with immense gratitude on our 20th anniversary year and the meaningful milestones and accolades it brought, each only made possible by the dedication of our talented team, the fishermen, farmers, purveyors, and colleagues we are fortunate to work with and call friends, and the loyal patrons who continue to support us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to those who have stood by us and made it possible for us to do what we love for over 20 years! Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Here’s to the milestones still ahead and the memories to be made in 2026—together. Happy New Year’s Eve!

Coming off the heels of an incredible 20th Anniversary celebration, we are honored to share that Providence has received its first-ever trois étoiles (⭐️⭐️⭐️) and has retained its Michelin Green Star (☘️) for the third consecutive year in the 2025 @MichelinGuide Awards.
This moment is the result of two decades of heart, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to excellence—made possible by our extraordinary team, devoted purveyors, loyal guests, and the broader culinary community who continues to inspire us. These stars shine for you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Merci beaucoup, @MichelinGuide , for this profound honor.
Well the first season of @americasculinarycupcbs is over. Congratulations to all the amazing chefs who participated. SPOILER ALERT: A very heartfelt congratulations to @carastadler the winner of season one. You cooked from your heart and with a cool head, you consistently created delicious, thought provoking, inspired, food. Well Done!! I learned so much being a part of this show. Thanks to @padmalakshmi the most inspiring and and brilliant boss I’ve ever had. Thanks to @wyliedufresne a brother that I didn’t know I had until we spent five weeks together filming. Thanks to all the amazing people that made the show a reality, they were a dream to work with and made a shy, fairly introverted person like myself feel comfortable in what was a very new space for me. This clip, shot on the last day of filming sums up the journey for me. @padmalakshmi told @wyliedufresne and I after the first day of filming to just let it go, speak your mind and don’t hold back. That’s what I did, that’s what Wylie did and I am so proud to have been a part of it. Thanks for watching!!!!
Happy birthday to Chef Tristan Aitchison… 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, it’s impossible to imagine this restaurant without him.
Over the decades, I’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 Tristan’s life. This restaurant became the place where he met his wife Amy (our longstanding former Sous Chef), where Busy and Wolfie became Providence’s first grandkids, and where some of life’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.

On America’s Culinary Cup, the judges didn’t necessarily want to throw curveballs at the chef competitors. With each challenge they were simply trying to ask, “who’s got the best chops today?”
We got lunch with @padmalakshmi , @wyliedufresne , and @cimarustila to talk all things @americasculinarycupCBS , pineapple on pizza, and more, all the while digging into some of @donangienyc ’s iconic lasagna.
Catch Padma, Wylie, & Michael in @americasculinarycupcbs airing Wednesdays on CBS & Paramount+

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.
I’m grateful to organizations like @montereybayaquarium and @seafoodwatch 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 I’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.
That’s the work. We just keep at it. – Michael Cimarusti 🌎
One of the great pleasures in Chef Michael Cimarusti’s life is the wines of Burgundy.
After living in France years ago, Burgundy left a lasting imprint on him through quiet meals, long drives through vineyards, and a sense of craft embedded in everyday living. Now it’s time to join the visionary Chef of LA’s 3-Michelin-Starred Providence as he returns to the region.
It’s a place where craft isn’t just preserved, it’s lived. Where generations shape what ends up in your glass, on your plate, and ultimately in your memory. Traveling here is about stepping into a way of life. One that lingers.
Join us in Burgundy & Lyon with renowned chef Michael Cimarusti and experience it.
