Most embarrassing day for my country in my life.
A mob insurrection on The Capitol. Attacks on law enforcement. Unconstitutional acts. One dead.
Multiple threats against my restaurants including an evacuation at one. Need for police at another. Grievous abuse to my staff.

A reminder to all the landlords, wearing masks is not normal. Wearing vinyl gloves is not normal. Seating outside only is not normal. Working through a pandemic is not normal. I have a landlord on Capitol Hill who needs a reminder. Give me 🦾 if you agree. I’ll call him out.
Chef Geoff's turned 21 today. Finally able to have an adult beverage 🥃 . Raise your hand if you have had one (or a few) at the original bar. 📷

A very good socially distanced patio. Take out /delivery remains popular. People on the back patio too. We avoided the rain. I just got a round of applause 👏 from the patio.
I opened this restaurant on June 2, 2000. I have seen strange days. Today and 9.11 are 1 & 2.

Dr. Anthony Fauci supports local D.C. restaurants by regularly ordering takeout. His neighborhood faves:
-Burgers and beers at the original Chef Geoff's
-Fettuccine alla bolognese from Al Dente
-Wagshal's deli
-Pizza Paradiso
I know everyone is doing resolutions, avoiding omicron, getting back into routines etc...but it's been a 20 month slog. Don't forget your local restaurants this winter.
I'm announcing that starting today Chef Geoff's will be rebranded.
Our new name is MetaBacon. I expect we will be valued at 1 trillion by our next quarterly earnings announcement.

Killer the Guard Dog is responsible for the safety of all. He is willing to make any sacrifice to keep this abode secure. As a Doberman/German Shepherd hybrid, he has been bred to fulfill the role.

Thank you to all the customers who ordered take out tonight, thank you to all who ordered delivery, thank you to all that cooked and bagged it up. Thanks to my team for the safe measures. Thanks for all the hand washing and gloves. My pizza dinner was delicious. 🙏
For the record: We are open but indoor dining at 25% is a money losing disaster. Thank you to the landlords who are helping.
@AmericanU
has been awesome. 👏👏👏
I'm encouraging DC and
@MayorBowser
to lighten indoor dining capacity restrictions. We are the most restrictive in the nation. It honestly doesn't help me bc I have big patios. But it could help a lot of small businesses and add a lot of jobs.

You can pack a baseball ⚾️ stadium. You can pack a 🥓 restaurant. You can sit at a bar cocktails 🍸. You can go clubbing 🕺. You can dance. Finally, DC is completely open.
Let's keep it this way. Get vaxxed.
It’s all reservations. It’s only outside. When you finish your meal...please be considerate. Enjoy yourself. But, dont stay at your table beyond your meal. It’s like reading the paper at a stop light on a one way road. For ten consecutive red lights.

2 years ago today it was all shut down. We clawed our way through it. Nice busy Friday night. Very thankful to the teams, the guests, and everyone else who was part of the restaurant recovery.
Excited to learn new tricks. I've never owned a boat. Bought a classic 1986

My first indoor customer in over 90 days
@LiasRestaurant
was seated right at 5pm.
She took awhile trying to figure out what table she wanted. Wanted one of the "closed" tables.
Good to know customers will always be customers. 🤣
One year ago the orders stopped. The customers disappeared. And we moved forward into the great unknown. So thankful for all the support that made our pandemic year a safe success. My team is stronger than ever and we are really excited for Spring!! 🙏
