Episode: BAOHAUS BACK with Roman Grandinetti & Russell Steinberg

Hosts: Eddie Huang & Natashia Perrotti

Date: March 3, 2026

---

Overview

In this lively episode, Eddie Huang and Natashia Perrotti welcome their Bauhaus partners—Roman Grandinetti and Russell Steinberg—back to Canal Street Dreams for a frank, funny, and affectionate conversation about the highly anticipated reopening of the iconic Taiwanese-Chinese restaurant, Bauhaus. Broadcasting from Canal Street, this crew reflects on New York’s evolving food and cultural landscape, life changes as parents, and the magic of creative partnerships.

At its core, this episode is about the resurrection and evolution of Bauhaus—a hub born from, and now returning to, the heart of downtown New York. The team discusses everything from restauranteur war stories and block party ambitions to the importance of true community hangouts and the sometimes-absurd realities of restaurant life.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Russell Steinberg's Restaurant Journey

• Early Stories & Energy: Russell recounts his wild 90s NYC hospitality journey—from working at Match and channeling Wild West energy (“Billy Gilroy would chase you down the street with a baseball bat if you didn’t pay the tab” [01:14, Russell])—to developing his lounge singer persona, Johnny Fava.
• Parenthood & Return to NYC: Having a young daughter changed his priorities: "I can't really travel around anymore... now I'm like, I'm gonna anchor in and drop in." [02:01, Russell]
• Inheriting an Iconic Space: Russ reflects on opening a restaurant in the legendary former Yafa Café: "This is such an iconic space... in my idiotic mind, I was like, I could... I should just open a restaurant." [03:04, Russell]
• High-stakes Hustle: "I put all the money, every penny into the walls. I open with no runway... just throwing hemorrhaging, you know." [03:39, Russell]

2. The Bauhaus Search: Finding Their Perfect Home

• Eddie, Roman, and the partners reminisce on hunting for the next location:
  • “We were looking for gazebo at first. We was looking for gazebo. And then you flipped it to Bauhaus, which I thought was very smart.” [04:44, Eddie]
  • Discussion of why St. Mark’s is the cultural home for a youth-driven Asian concept.
  • “If you got a youth cultural Asian concept, it belongs on St. Mark’s. That’s where the freaky Asian is.” [05:41, Eddie]
• Roman: "You were probably the pioneer to bring culture to food, to where I didn’t necessarily know where a bao was from, but I knew that it was from New York in my eyes." [14:01]

3. St. Mark’s: A Historic and Cultural Battleground

• Eddie frames St. Mark’s as the true epicenter for new-wave Asian food and youth Asian American culture:
  • “It is, like, the battleground for Asian concepts in New York.” [06:29, Eddie]
  • Ranks the city’s best Chinese restaurants—all on St. Mark’s—tying Bauhaus into this lineage.

4. The Meaning of Bauhaus: Community, Vibe, and Transformation

• Roman calls the new Bauhaus a “coming of age version” [15:02]—not just a restaurant, but a fully realized cultural hub.
• Eddie fondly recalls how the original Bauhaus operated as a "place that everyone in the neighborhood was like, oh, this is like my apartment, but on the street." [15:45]
• Natashia and the group riff on Bauhaus as an intentional anti-reservation spot: “We’re not doing reservations. It’s going to be walk-in only because we want... If you’re in the neighborhood, walk in, pop in.” [20:38, Eddie]
• Roman: “There is no more accidental New York. It’s like, over planning at a certain point.” [21:00]

5. Family and Generational Shifts

• Honest parenting laughs: from “I have a 25 year old and a 6 year old” [10:08, Russell], to the ways their own parents haunt their words (“I felt like I was being channeled by a demon—it just came out of my mouth” [09:23, Natashia]).
• Intergenerational vibe: raising kids in the restaurant, parallels to their own childhoods in NYC.

6. Design and Opening Rituals

• Roman’s approach: “Our new logo looks like mahjong tiles, but it also looks like the Italian flag.” [18:31, Eddie]
• Collaborative design—a blend of Italian and Chinese influences, following not trends but personal and spiritual cues. "If you say, hey, listen, I love blue... but green is what your heart is saying... and the green was something that he felt." [37:03, Roman]
• Commitment to openness and community: “If you’re a friend of ours, just call us. You get a reservation, easy. Community shit.” [20:38, Eddie]

7. Restaurant Life: Scars, Stress & Surreal Moments

• The business side: Debt jokes, hustling to survive, and poking fun at finances: “Help Russell pay his debts” as a postcard for checks [29:06, Eddie].
• GM “talent pool” woes; self-awareness about their roles: “Don’t do it, bro. Don’t do it again. Just be the finance.” [28:49, Eddie]
• Bathhouse Audits: The group explodes in laughter recounting how Russ vetted Eddie at the Russian Turkish baths—“In the bath’s like, ‘no, no, no, he's good. We've seen his dick.’” [26:26, Eddie]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

The Energy of New York Hospitality

• “You want to go to Bauhaus, and it’s like, more. You’re getting more than food. It’s a vibe.” [07:44, Russell]

St. Mark’s, Asian Food, and Identity

• “It’s the only block in America you walk in every restaurant, there’s, like, Hente on the walls.” [05:44, Eddie]
• “As an Asian chef... there is so much Asian food on St. Mark’s... it has that history. And now it's become so Asian. That it's kind of—represents something.” [05:57, Natasha Wong]

Their hunger to build not just a successful restaurant, but a sanctuary for their chosen family and creative community, shines through every exchange. As Eddie sums up:
"This is who I am... I make Chinese food, you know." [32:14]

Transcript

[A]

Big fucking episode. Bauhaus is back. And on this episode, we got all the partners at Bauhaus. Roman Grandinetti, Russell Steinberg, Natasha Wong. Bauhaus is in the building. Welcome, guys. Welcome, welcome. Thank you.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

Happy to be here.

[A]

Yeah. Russell, first of all, thank you for dumping a million dollars in a 97St.

[C]

Mark's oh, yeah, it's good. It's a very expensive lesson.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But. But we're gonna get you your money back.

[C]

Now give me my million dollars back.

[A]

Okay, we should start. All right, so how did you end up taking 97St. Marks and tell them, you know, what you've been doing in the city? You know, because you're quite the character.

[C]

Yeah, thanks, man. I like that you have these, like, nightclubs, mics. Yeah, this is right up my alley.

[A]

Yeah. Because you can always, you know, do this.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Which we did do recently.

[C]

So I In. Well, I'll start you back in the 90s. When I came up in the city, I was. My first job was working at a place. Restaurant called match that Keith McNally owned. Not Keith McNally, Billy Gilroy. And then.

[A]

I don't know how you got those two names confused.

[C]

Well. Cause Billy gilroy and Keith McNally were both part of Lucky Strike in the beginning.

[A]

Got it. Got it.

[C]

And then I got plucked from Match into, like. Yeah. Billy Gilroy would, like, chase you down the street with a baseball bat if you didn't pay the. Pay the. The tab. That's what it was like back. It was like the Wild West. I remember one time, it matched the. The. One of the food runners and the. The chef, Michael was a Chinese guy. All of a sudden, it's like people are eating. The saloon doors in the kitchen fly open, and the two of them are, like, punching each other, and they, like, fall over a table with, like, Richard Belzer eating. Trying to eat his. Asian fusion. Whatever. It was Pacific Rim. Pacific Rim influence.

[A]

Pacific Rim ended up becoming a fantastic film about robots.

[C]

Yeah, that's right.

[A]

But so.

[C]

Okay, let me keep it going. My character, Johnny Fava, which is a lounge singer character, that. That was really, like, my beginning of, like, performing in the city. I grew up doing that stuff. But then at the box.

[A]

You should tell.

[C]

Then I shorted up the box. Yeah, let's start it. Cut this part out. No. So, yeah, I used to perform at a place called Johnny Fave. I developed a character called Johnny Fave. I went out to la. I performed all over the place with, like, Slash and Dave Navarro, which is. I completely Stepped in. It was like a total accident. I'm all of a sudden went from my partner dressing like Slash to like being on stage with Slash. And then I started emceeing at the box. I was like the fill in guy. So now I have a kid in my later days and I'm back in the city and I can't really travel around anymore. I used to go and we'd box at a place in London and Dubai and now I got a kid, I'm like, you know, now I'm like, I'm going to anchor in and drop in. And so she went to school next door at Little Mish. And I was walking by every day. These women took over what used to be Yafa cafe. And Yafa cafe was like a coming of age institution on that block. And everyone, it was open all night. You would go there for a late night meal, which doesn't happen. Like, doesn't happen really anymore. Like that, like five in the morning, you're doing coke or you're doom scrolling.

[A]

Yeah. And it was kind of like a Middle Eastern noodle town.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

In the East Village.

[C]

Super vibey.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So I kept walking by there and like, how are these women having such a hard time with it? You know, because they couldn't, you know, they're trying to get people there. No one was going. I'm like, this is such an iconic space. Like, it's got such good bones. Everyone loves it. And then somehow in my idiotic mind, I was like, I could, you know, everyone, I'm a popular guy. I should just open a restaurant. And everyone's like, russ, don't know. I'm like, I would go to people. I was, hey, what's your advice to me? They're like, don't do it. Really? You're not cut out for it.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And it turns out they were right. But. But here, nobody. Here I am now.

[A]

Russ is the fucking best. He's the fucking best.

[C]

He told, I put all the money, every penny into the walls. I open with no Runway.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Just like freaking borrowing money all over town. Just throwing hemorrhaging, you know. But, you know, it was.

[A]

It's gonna work out. It all worked out. We walked in and I was like, this is a wonderful place for a Bauhaus.

[C]

It was a manifest. I really like, I feel like we manifested each other.

[A]

Yeah, absolutely. And I remember the first time we met you. You go, yeah. I wanted to be like Jake LaMotta and have my own restaurant. I was like, that was why this guy opened a Fucking restaurant.

[C]

I'm the only va. But I got to say, the thing ate the ring. But to play

[A]

Russ is the fucking best man. And then, of course, Roman, you've been on the show before. Everybody. All the fans know you now, but, you know, we. We were looking for spaces for a while.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We started. What do we start on Eldridge? We looked under a rug shop. What else?

[B]

Yeah, I. We looked at anything interesting in the new two bridges world. I think that's what we. Where we wanted to be.

[A]

Yeah, we were. Well, we were looking for gazebo at first. We was looking for gazebo.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And then you flipped it to Bauhaus, which I thought was very smart.

[C]

Especially that block. I think, too. It's like. Yeah, that was also my problem. I think on St. Mark's was a little too fancy. Like, people just wanted to kind of have a. An easy time. Everyone's like, you like the adult place on that block? I'm like, yeah, but there's no adults.

[A]

Yeah, I get.

[C]

There are adults.

[B]

They don't want to be adults.

[C]

I was shooting for an energy that wasn't the right energy.

[A]

Yeah. Because on where we're at 97St. Mark's St. Mark's between first and A, you're there for either Mogador or tattoos at one city, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then you go up the block for experimental Asian food.

[C]

So now and then over towards Avenue A, it's like Mardi Gras on the week, you know, that gets wild.

[A]

So it's like a little.

[C]

It's like bar strip, like, in the pocket right there. I like.

[A]

I mean, it's. It's nice. I. I mean, I've always wanted to open a bow House on St. Mark's I always felt like if you got a youth cultural Asian concept, it belongs on St. Mark's like, that's where the freaky Asian is.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Restaurants.

[B]

What kind of freaky?

[C]

Like.

[A]

Like Japanese girls with octopus, you know? Like, it's the only block in America. You walk in every restaurant. There's, like, Hente on the walls, you know? So I always. I always enjoyed the block. I fit in there. I mean, I love the block. Yeah.

[D]

I feel like there's something about it that. I don't know if this. I may be wrong about this, but I feel like, as an Asian chef, like, is there something about it just being on St. Mark's being like, yeah, I did it because there is so much. There is so much Asian food on St Mark's and I do think it's this, like, very youth culture, like, just historically, St. Mark's feels a bit punk rock. I mean, not anymore, but, like, it has that history. And then now it's become so Asian. Yes. That it's kind of. I don't know. I think it represents something.

[A]

It does.

[D]

Asian American. Especially, like, Asian and New York City culture.

[A]

It is, like the battleground for Asian concepts in New York. Like, people. Tourists come and they think, oh, we go to Chinatown. Chinatown's cool. You got cool stuff in Chinatown. Noodle Town, I love. And then you go to Dimes, you get wu's, Wonton King. But I think the two best Chinese restaurants in New York City is Chuli and Sichuan Mountain House. And then the best soup dumplings is Nanchang Xiao long Bao on St. Mark's between second and third. Three best Chinese restaurants is on that block. And then we are. I mean, we're a Taiwanese Chinese restaurant, but we have more of a, like, downtown audience. And I think that the perfect home for us is. Is 97.

[C]

Number four is coming.

[A]

Number. What's number four? Oh, yeah, number four. Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll say. We'll say. We'll say five, because four is bad. Four is bad. We'll let somebody else be four.

[C]

We're in the. You know, in the top. We might be one.

[A]

Yeah, we might be one. We might be one. You know, I like the attitude. I'm the same. Like, I show up anywhere. I'm like, I'm number one. I don't. I don't know why people show up and like, no, no, no, I'm looking. I'm. No, I'm. If I don't think I'm going to be number one, I'm not doing it.

[C]

You're also around.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. You want to be number one. Everything you do.

[C]

But there was a place, dojo back was really popular. So that's like that vibe. Like, that was. You know, you like. It's like a. You know what I missed? How I missed is, like, I didn't have a point of view. Like, you.

[A]

You.

[C]

You want to go to Bauhaus, and it's like, more. You're getting more than food. You're like, oh, let's go to Bauhaus. And we're doing it. It's like a whole. It's a thing. It's gonna be a vibe. The food we're taking you. The energy is different.

[A]

Yeah. You may meet your husband or wife here.

[C]

You can meet. That's the attitude or mistress. Not him. No, not him.

[D]

Take Your mistress somewhere else.

[A]

I fucking love Russ.

[D]

Let me take your Mr. Somewhere, like, I don't know, go somewhere uptown.

[A]

Russ, I think you're going to meet your third baby mama here.

[C]

I am going to meet baby mama number three.

[D]

That's wholesome. I like that.

[C]

Yeah. Through your baby mama.

[A]

Shout out to all of Russ's baby.

[D]

I will just say you don't have to worry about your man meeting his mistress at Bow House.

[A]

I'll.

[D]

That will be my. I'll be the resident. Like, catch a cheater in there.

[A]

That's right.

[D]

I'll be John Kinones in there. Is that your girl or is that your mistress?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

So I'll her up.

[A]

You could do anything you want as long as you're not cheating.

[C]

Yeah. They have to let her go through their phone when they get in.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Like, I'm like, let's see your Instagram. Is it the main one?

[C]

Is.

[D]

[C]

Of course.

[D]

It started coming out of my mouth and I was like. I felt like I was being channeled by a demon. Like, it wasn't even me. I didn't want to say that. It just came out of my mouth. And that's. Now I'm gonna say it to you. And you.

[C]

It's funny with the kids, I. I feel like I become my dad. So I'm like, you know, you're driving. I'm like, I gotta come back there.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I'll start saying crazy now, too. I'm like, if you eat that, you're gonna die, like, eating something off the floor. And like, why did I say that? That's weird.

[C]

My friend's mom, everything. You're gonna die.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

She was like, don't. Don't eat the ice. Don't go to the ice cream, man. He goes pishy in the ice cream. He's a Jewish woman don't go in the pool. Someone that went to the bottom and their hair cut and they've gotten the filter and they died.

[D]

We'll just be walking, eating something like off the New York City street. I'm like, okay, yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What do they call you, like Russell? Poopy head. Oh, one kid calls me a poopy head.

[A]

Yeah. But then again, you have an alias and everyone's seen your balls in New York City.

[C]

That is true.

[A]

Like, everyone has seen you in New York.

[C]

Half a Google search, you'll see. I can't imagine Johnny Fava.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

I can't imagine, like our kids friends coming over and be like, Mr. Wong.

Mr. Roman's good.

[B]

Mr. Roman, sometimes Mr. G.

[D]

You don't need a Mr. In front of it though, because, like, Roman feels very, like, distinguished to me. That's like a serious ass name.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Like, you need to be Mrs. Natasha because Ms. Natasha does sound like a mistress. Yes.

[C]

Or a dominatrix.

[A]

She's in the.

[D]

We're gonna go see Ms. Natasha. I mean, there was an era where you probably could have done that.

[A]

Definitely. Dominatrix. I would like to see Miss Natasha come home, kick me in my balls.

[D]

No, you don't give me that energy.

[A]

I don't think. No, I don't. I don't want to be kicked. I like when you wear the latex boots, but I don't. I'm like, if somebody hits me, I'm hitting them back. Unfortunately, that's how I feel.

He's just so busy, and there's been so much happening, I think, in our lives. Like, I don't know anything. And it's the first project since I've met him that he's been on where I truly, Like, I was like, I don't even know where it is. Like, up until five days ago, I was like, I don't even know where it's gonna be. So I want to hear, like, I feel like if I were like, I'm

[B]

Manny, who glued us all together amongst friends. We've been throwing the ball back and forth. I think his plan for what he wants to do long term and he being Eddie with gazebo is something that was, at the moment, a bit more polished. And I think we were looking for something, like, very specific. This was a diamond in the rough that just fit. I was a monster fan of what you created and how you created it. You were, like, probably the pioneer to bring culture to food, to where I didn't necessarily know where a bow was from, but I knew that it was from New York in my eyes, if that makes any sense.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it was like a cultural hub. And you went there because the food was very, very, very good. And the thing is, for me, at that time, when it started, that's how I was drawn to it. It felt like Everything that I was immersed in. So what you created at that time was encapsulated in this, like, little bubble that I was hoping to, you know, bring to life again from very, very early on in our conversations. So when we did do the search and when we were looking, I think the 2.0 version was in a zone to where we thought was now our cultural hub. But I think the authenticity to what Russ has brought to the table is bringing this thing together in a totally new light. And I think that it's been an amazing process, and I think the whole entire, you know, rebirth and redesign. And I don't want to say coming to age version, but it does feel like our coming to age version of what you had created.

[A]

Yeah, no, this is the first ever fully realized Bauhaus, because when we started, it was like a 400 square feet bomb shelter, subterranean, across from a life. And the whole idea was just like, all the homies hang at the backyard in a life. And when you drunk and bored, come across and eat Taiwanese bowels and listen to basically the same music. Yeah, we were playing mixtapes and, like, we had a bong in the bathroom. And it just became this place that everyone in the neighborhood was like, oh, this is like my apartment, but on the street. And somehow, some way, people, like, love the food. But my. My goal was always to set it up so people could, like, loiter and hang out, because I love those spots growing up, like, Prohibit downstairs on Orchard. You know, everyone was down there in that, like, ASAP purple swag era, you know, like, people at pianos. And I just miss those spaces in New York City where you wake up at, like, 11:12, you're like, where are my homies at? And you just go sit in a basement. And we need that for adults. We need a place. You get some good wine, you get some good beer, get some good Taiwanese Chinese food, listen to music, look at, like, maple thorpes and dash nose on the wall. And, you know, I do think Russ has brought this element that we would not have brought in ourselves. Right. Like, he did the checkered floor, he did the marble countertops, and they were really nice, like, for your concept. But we are kind of roughing it up a little bit. It's like we inherited Russell's crib, and we're like, sullying it and breaking it and making it bow house, which is ill. And that's. That's when. That's when it's great. I think the things in. The thing I love about New York restaurants and spaces is when you absorb and receive like what the universe has already put here. And you don't try to make it too much yours, but you, like, meet somewhere in the middle. Then you get really special things you couldn't have, like, planned on a Pinterest board.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

You know, I agree.

[C]

I think that's the one thing I. Probably the smartest thing out of the whole thing is that I saw that in that space. I knew I didn't. Maybe I didn't nail it, you know, because not a restaurateur. It was like my first shop. But I knew that there was that energy in that space, having been there so many years, like, and just like it was like a kind of spot where you went and you knew you would see people back at yafa.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And now you reminded me. I have a store on Elizabeth street called. It was Wear Mart. First a partner of mine, Martin Keane, but then I did a women's clothing store called Steinberg and Sons. But I used to have one of those fold up picnic tables that had the four chairs as part of it. And we would sit in front of there playing ceelo all day. And people would come by. And when I opened this, I was hoping, I thought about when I worked at Lucky Strike. And you would see always Donal Logue and Jesse Peretz would always be at this table and that. And then I would see friends who worked in other places. And I just was like, that's what I want. But I didn't. And now I feel like it's finally coming to fruition.

[A]

Yeah. And I think the thing is, when we came, I loved it. Cause it was subterranean with a patio, which is rare. You very rarely in New York get a restaurant on a block where they shut the street down because they shut down St. Mark's between 1st and A in the summer. It's subterranean with a full back patio for people to smoke cigs. There's light coming in the front. There's light coming in the back. It's just like, it feels magical. And then Roman came in and turned it into a fucking Chinese restaurant. It's incredible working on it, you know, like. And also it's funny because our logo looks like mahjong tiles, but it also looks like the Italian flag.

[B]

Very much.

[A]

Yeah. Everything, everything, teamwork, everything came together.

[C]

My mom's a master mahjong player.

[B]

That's it.

[C]

I mean, being a Jew in Westchester is like Chinese food. And mahjong was like, well, you know, was my soul food and my mom's entertainment.

[A]

What are you most excited about coming. Coming to the new Bauhaus.

[D]

I mean, I think when we moved back to New York and we started talking about, like, moving in this direction, opening restaurants again and moving away from the Hollywood shit, the thing I was most excited about was just to have a spot that we could hang with our friends. Because I, for me, grow, like, becoming more of an adult now and having a kid, I see my friends less and less, and it's just hard to plan something. And there's really so few spots now in New York City. It feels like everything is kind of like, you need a res two weeks out, if it's like, you know what I mean? And it's just like, such a heavy lift. And I was like, I just really want some place to go. Chill, easy. Meet me there. I know the homies are going to be there. Good food, good time. And when we talked about opening a restaurant, that's, like, all I had in my mind was, we're going to create this, like, we want it for ourselves, but also to have that community back. That's what I'm most excited for. It also, come day drink, I. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Day drink with the kid. That's the thing, too. I'm like, I want to bring Senna. I grew up in restaurants, like, I was the kid doing my homework, and in, like, a roast beef shop, like, listening to my mom sell roast beef. So, like, that's cool to me that Senna will be able to do that. Like, Luca will be able to do that. Cecilia will be able to do that. Like, also, I never had a bow. I never OG Bow house. I never. We had so many parallels. Like, I never. I, like, lived on the block, but just never. It's crazy.

[A]

She slept with me and I didn't have to make a bow. It's, like, incredible. It's crazy.

[D]

It was just because I liked him kind of.

[A]

You would.

[D]

You would maybe. You would maybe think that maybe I just like him.

[C]

It's like we were talking about, like, online dating and, like, yeah, for guys like us, you got. You got to get them in person and do all the tricks and the bells and whistles and no one know. No one swipes.

[A]

And, like, she just loves me. She loves me. Incredible.

[D]

No? Yeah. I just like, yeah.

[A]

No. And. And you know what is. We're not doing reservations. It's going to be walking only because we want. If you're in the neighborhood, walk in, pop in. I hate it when a Russian's like, we're booked up for three weeks. Reservations open the first of the month. I'm like, bro, get out. Like, what are you, the Pope? You know, like, it's walk ins only, but if you're a friend of ours, just call us. You get a reservation, easy. Community shit.

[B]

And it's the old, like, New York. And I feel like people miss that. I feel like people also plan. It's like, over planning at a certain point. There is no more accidental New York. There's no more. I'm walking in and you really have to go to a very specific place. And I think we had this conversation. You were telling me when you had lunch at Mogador. Mogador is a place that's so authentic and so built into New York's, like, back pocket, if you would, that you accidentally see people there because they know to go there. It's that kind of a place. And I think that if we mirror that kind of relationship to customers, I think people will feel that also when you don't have to live and die by a fucking computer. It's like, yo, you can come in and we can find a table for you of two. If you're a real hostess and you know how to manage a restaurant, you could move people around and listen, if the lines around the block, so be it. That would be great. But I do think that there's a way to, you know, goodfellas in a way and do put people aside, like, side by side and do do this the right way, the way you're supposed to manage a floor. And I think we have the ability to bring that back here. And it will only line us up to do gazebo. That much better.

[A]

Yeah, we want people to, like, hang out on the block. Not even line, yo, give us your name, we'll call you. Like, come back. And then I would love it if people are, like, going to Mogador, coming over here, popping back. Like, friends are gonna go back and forth. Like, the dudes with Crohn's are gonna eat at Mogador and then meet their friends about, you know, that's what's gonna be.

[D]

You can always use the bathroom about. Yeah, there might not be a bong in this one, but, yeah, there'll be something.

[A]

Yeah, we'll put the bong in the shed. You know, outside, we have outdoors.

[B]

Yeah, the outdoors.

[A]

You know, I didn't tell you guys. You know what's crazy is, like, I developed a lot of my. Using a big green egg smoker in my backyard. And big green eggs. Saw we were opening, and they hit me up. They want to send Us, the smokers.

[B]

It's beautiful.

[A]

So if I could start smoking Tasu pork and duck, like, it's game over.

[B]

But also the summer, to have that, like, feeling outside would be unmatched.

[D]

The summer. I feel like it's block party. Like, I feel like it's just block party.

[A]

Chicken back in the back. Yeah.

[D]

Like, I feel like every weekend it's like, okay, cool. You can just like, be like, I'm gonna smoke this new meat. I'm gonna make a coat. You're gonna smoke it.

[C]

Love that.

[D]

No, no, I mean, like, the animal. Like, we'll just shoot an animal. I did not make. I got this vintage off the real reel.

[C]

I asked if it was chinchilla earlier.

[D]

It may be. We don't know you.

[C]

Have you been on the block since they've done open streets there on St. Mark's first night.

[D]

Funny enough. Like, I think, remember that Fourth of July?

[A]

The best day ever was there.

[D]

It wasn't Fourth of July. It was my. So my cousin from Greece, who's my son, our son's godfather. Shout out Cousin Nick Nuno and my other cousin were in New York City for, like, one day only. They had a wedding and they wanted to come see Senna, our son. And we were like, all right, we have no plan. It was like, the most beautiful day. I think it was like. It was August. It was like late August. We just had this be the most

[A]

beautiful day of our lives.

[D]

Like, I was, like, in tears at the end of the day. Day. I was like, I've never had a day this beautiful. We ate at That's. We ate at Cecilia.

[C]

Really?

[D]

We were just walking.

[A]

I didn't tell you, but I told her. And I was just like. Because the best day.

[D]

That's why I was like. This was cosmic.

[A]

Was at your spot.

[D]

Yeah. We started. We just, like, met them downtown. We were walking up to, like, classic New York City day. Just like, we went to Ray's Candy Shop, got ice cream. We were just popping in and out, eating, drinking all day. And we just popped in and we sat outside for, like, three hours.

[A]

I got a photo of it.

[C]

It's so nice during this, like, you know, especially I think even before the evening when it's like, the sun's come going.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Having drinks.

[A]

We went and got soft serve around the corner.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It was raised.

[A]

It was my first after quitting for a few months, too.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

He was having such a good time. He was like, I gotta smoke some weed.

[A]

Yeah. I was like, I got so high. Amazing.

[B]

Enjoy yourself.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah, it was the best. We have photos. We'll, like, put some in. But, yeah, no, that's why when he told me, I was like, that's crazy, because we always do audits of the year, like, end of the year recap. We'd be like, okay, Top days, like, top moments, like, best album, best movie. We literally talked about that day so much. We were like, that was the best day of the entire year.

[A]

We didn't tell you up front because I didn't want to pay key money, but now the deal's done. We were.

[C]

This guy negotiates harder than I thought I was going to do. I mean, the Chinese and we're gone, bro.

[B]

That was the best.

[A]

When open table came in and they're like, okay, we're gonna give you a first year friend. No, you're gonna give us $20,000.

[C]

We shut down. We shake down everybody that comes in. Our next restaurant is going to be called Sosumi. Yeah, exactly.

[B]

It's the best. That is the best name.

[A]

Opening every restaurant with rust, man.

[D]

Moving forward, can that be your restaurant group's name? Like, instead of that being the next one? That's just the restaurant group.

[C]

That would be a great group.

[A]

It was so funny because lawyers always argue about stuff. And I was like, yo, we want to give Russ the first ride of refusal. And next spot that you sure you want to give them, bro? You got to meet this guy. Like, you got. You're going to want to do shit with this guy. This guy's ridiculous.

[C]

That's.

[A]

Yeah. No, for real. We fucking love you.

[C]

I love these guys. I love this guy.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

No, it's a definite different.

[B]

Different light and different energy to this part.

[A]

Yeah. The best part was when he was vetting me. I go to the Russian Turkish Bass, and the deal was kind of close to being done. And I go in there and this guy's at the baths asking other dudes, like, Bugsy like, yo, what do you think about this guy?

[D]

Just.

[B]

Just so happen to land on Bugsy.

[A]

Yeah. I was like, these guys have all seen my balls.

[B]

Godfather.

[A]

Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, man. It was. He. You were auditing me in the baths, and everyone in the bath's like, no, no, no, he's good. He's good. We've seen his dick.

[D]

Good. Good dick.

[C]

Good business dick.

[D]

Yes. Yes.

[C]

Where'd you take. In the locker room. Wait, what? When did. I just wonder.

[A]

When I saw you, I'm like, wait, what?

[C]

Because it's. You know, it's usually. I always wear shorts in There. Where's the dick stuff happen?

[A]

No, no. Everyone's taking their pants off in there. You're taking your pants off in there.

[D]

Sundays, 3 to 5.

[A]

One time I put the water on and I did the water too fast and I said, oh, Yeah.

[C]

I got 10th street bath.

[D]

It was an accident.

[C]

The best.

[A]

Best. The best. The best. Sometimes if you get the shorts that are too big, cuz, you know, the blue ones, they say they're medium, but some are large and then the pants just fall off.

[B]

They're also just makeshift, like bed sheets that they sew together. They're not exactly shorts. Yeah, but they work.

[C]

They work.

[A]

They're like from World War II.

[C]

Yeah, definitely.

[B]

They were. They're like parachutes that they cut out.

[D]

I think you guys should just be dicks out.

[C]

I don't do the full mon.

[A]

I'll do it if Russ is there, cuz he's the only one with the smaller dick.

[C]

Yeah. Why do you think I stripped down into a Speedo and never full nude?

[A]

Yeah, man. I don't want to do a Rome. Roman's over there swinging around sausage.

[C]

I have a. I have a. I have an innie.

[A]

Guy's carrying a hog around town. You gotta watch your.

[C]

They have an innie.

[D]

Have you ever watching.

[C]

It's like a button on a.

[D]

You and sat.

[A]

You need to battle for smallest dick

[C]

at the baths, by the way. It's huge. Humongous. Is there any.

[A]

All right, what are you most excited about at Bow House?

[C]

I'm excited for this. This energy to just keep going forward. Me walking in and being happy and, you know, seeing people having a good time and. And I'm just paying your debt. Paying, you know, my investors getting paid back everything. You know, having money go the this way instead of that way. Sounds exciting. I don't want to pay for work anymore. It's gonna be great.

[D]

You're like a stripper.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Like paying to show up at work.

[A]

We're having trouble finding like a gm, right? The GM pool is not the best right now. And we're talking and I. I ask Alex, I'm like, yo, you want to train Russ to be the gm? And Russ goes, you want me to drive your restaurant into the crowd?

[D]

I like that though. You got to know what. You got to know what you're good at. You got to know what you don't know. You know?

[A]

Yes. Don't do it, bro. Don't do it again. Just be the finance.

[C]

You're the owner. Financier. Financier.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

That's the best place to be.

[C]

Yeah. God.

[D]

So good. That's the. That's exactly where you want to be.

[A]

This is where you should be on the check.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know. You know, on the back of the check, it should be Russell in his underwear. That photo you got. And it says, help Russell pay his debts.

[D]

I like that. That's actually very cute.

[A]

That should be the postcard until you pay off your debt.

[C]

Yeah. Go fund me.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like it. You could offer a QR code, you know.

[A]

I love it. That's going to be the check. The check card.

[B]

Where is.

[A]

That's good.

[C]

Just a picture. Go fund me.

[A]

That's.

[B]

Well, that is.

[C]

With no explanation. No cue. It just says, go fund me.

[D]

There's no. It's in the ether. It's the ether. Gofundme.

[A]

It's too good. Our finance here is underwater. All right, Roman, what are you most excited about?

[B]

I am most excited to honestly bring this thing back to life. I think what you've created and what you've done, it's a real pleasure to be a part of it. And this is the seat that I honestly feel the most comfortable in. I think what you do is amazing. I think what you created is amazing, and I'm psyched. And honestly, the team kind of came together pretty crazy. I think his attitude, his heart, his, like, difference in our world, where I have sadly become an old man recently. And I'm very, like, tactical. I think what you do and what you bring to the team is awesome. And, I mean, we're standing behind you. We know you bring. So we're psyched. And thank you for trusting in us, too. I mean, this is pretty fucking cool.

[A]

No, you the first person. Like, last night, you know, I was shambling last night because I was just. I had. When you're opening a restaurant, there comes that one night where you're just like, oh, my God, I'm overheated. I'm front. Like, I got too much on my plate. I can't do it. When we're talking about onboarding, I was like, I can't. I can't think about onboarding. I'm in the recipe book right now. And Roman goes, just hand it to me, bro. Give me the fucking ball. And Roman went and made a punch list of, like, 75 Excel sheets. And I was, like, about to cry. I was like, oh, my God. But this man just came through so hard. And then it's like your energy and what you've already put into the space is incredible, but I just know, like, on 11 o', clock, that first night when we finished dinner service and I make the DJ play Dipset Anthem. That's what I'm looking forward to. Like, listening to Dipset inside a Bauhaus with my wife and you guys, like, it's just. I. I will most likely cry. Do you know what I mean? Like, I miss this restaurant so much. Like, I really, really do.

[B]

Like, not sick.

[A]

It's crazy. Like, it's. It's just different listening to Dipset in there.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, it's good.

[A]

I'm gonna cry when they play. When everybody in their ghost. Put your two arms up. Touchdown. It's Is over.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Also, but the thing that I'm just realized that we didn't talk about, that I'm, like, most excited for is the food to eat it. Like, I'm so excited to eat this food. It's crazy. Like, what you're doing. Play Dipset, what you're doing here at the flower shop is, like, so. It's just amazing and interesting, but I feel like this is. This is your shit, you know?

[A]

This is who I am.

[D]

Yeah. Like, this is really it.

[A]

I'm not calling myself Michael Jordan, but the flower shop is Michael Jordan playing baseball. You know, like, just to keep it a book. Yeah, it's Michael Jordan playing baseball. This is. This is back with the 4 5. Like, you know, this is. This is what I do. I. I make Chinese food, you know,

[C]

and I eat it

[D]

same.

[C]

My family used to be like an orgy. When we went to Chinese food, we would walk around the block to make more room and, like, drink Cokes to shove it in there.

[A]

We open Bauhaus Christmas Eve in a Jewish neighborhood. You know, I went to a yeshiva school. Like, it. This. This is. This is what we do, you know, so I'm. I can't wait, man. Like, it's just. And people's faces when they eat the bowels. It's just. It's just different, man. It's different. It's different. So I can't wait. All right, let's find Cecilia's dish.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

All right, we got the menu. All right, we gotta name a dish after Russ.

[C]

She's losing a restaurant named after her. She's gonna get a dish.

[A]

So she's getting a dish.

[D]

Getting a dish. A dish feels like a little. A little crazier.

[A]

All right, we got lunch and we got dinner. You want. You wanna. Does she. Does she want, like, the bow? We could do another bow later, but there's lunch, right? We got. Let's See here. All right. The lunch menu. Damn.

[B]

I'm too.

[A]

Whoa. We have so many docs now. Roman, it's Chris. Holy.

[C]

The emails last night. Spin.

[A]

Okay, here. Here's the. Here, we got. We could do Cecilia's chili garlic wings. We could do Cecilia's sesame cold noodles. We could do Cecilia's chili oil wontons. All right. We also have a dinner menu that has other things. Cecilia's tuna tataki.

[D]

No, not that one. Nope.

[C]

What? Like General Cecilia's.

[D]

Oh, I like that.

[C]

Like Empress Cecilia's.

[D]

I like Empress Cecilia.

[A]

Oh, I like.

[D]

I think we go Empress Cecilia. I make her son call me Princess Mommy, so. Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Empress Cecilia's cold noodles.

[A]

Empress Cecilia's kung pao chicken thighs.

[C]

You know, I don't want to put thighs in there.

[D]

I don't like the thighs.

[A]

Empress. Empress Cecilia's chicken with peanut sesame sauce. Empress Cecilia's Maybe something we definitely don't want to say. Skirt steak.

[C]

No. Anything with Szechuan.

[D]

I just read the Epstein files, and I hate all of this. Like, I actually.

[A]

Empress Cecilia's mumbo fried cauliflower. No.

[D]

Now all sounds like.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

If it was broccoli, I was gonna

[B]

ask if there's anything that she.

[C]

I feel like the cold noodles. It would have not worked with the cold.

[A]

Celia sesame noodles. I like that.

[C]

It's alliterative.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Empress Cecilia sesame noodles. Noodles.

[D]

Yeah. Oh, Boom.

[C]

Done.

[D]

I like it.

[A]

Done. I told you we would do it.

[C]

That's amazing.

[A]

Thank you.

[B]

I was about to do teamwork.

[A]

Empress Cecilia skirt, stick,

[C]

thighs.

[D]

It was getting Epstein files like, this is good. The cream cheese was great.

[A]

And we're going to put the photo of Luca and Senna from the restaurant up of them watching TV together. Yeah, we gotta put it in the bar.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, I don't know if we

[C]

would said how this guy's a design and building this place at like a rocket.

[A]

No, let's talk about. Come on.

[D]

Yeah, he's like, casual.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You're gonna walk in there and you're gonna walk into this, like, incredible vibe that it happens so fast.

[A]

He is creating a place to meet mistresses.

[D]

Jesus fucking Christ.

[A]

You guys, tell us about the design. Tell us your inspiration.

[B]

You. I mean, honestly, it's. It's all of us. It's been back and forth, and to be honest with you, and not to say anything about us, it is very authentic to. I think what you and who you are. And I think that's where I said, I think that's the funnest thing for me. And I think you've brought out a lot of authenticities in our conversations. And not to steer away from the restaurant, but your beliefs in, like, the stars and all this shit has made me really look at you in a very different way. And the things that you respect and the things that you hold on to now when you say them, I put them into motion inside of the restaurant. So if you say, hey, listen, I love blue, but blue is something that you might be seeing for a design inspiration, but green is what your heart is saying. Like, we walked past a temple, and the temple. When he saw it, there was no. Like, our conversation stopped. He was like, yo, look at the green. And it went from navy to green. And the green was something that he felt. And it's something that. When he says it, it's the same way he says something to me with, like, a star sign. And again, I'm sorry to keep referencing the star sign, but I'm kooky, you know?

[C]

Like.

[B]

No, I think that there's also something that, you know, you don't necessarily get enough credit for is how fucking smart you actually really are. And I think that people sometimes look at the fun and small things, and you're fucking hilarious. And thank you for being that. You make business a lot easier. But I do think your true feelings towards Stu are making this place what it is. And I'm just kind of like. I don't want to say cheering you on in the background, but I think that's. That's where I do stand. A lot of this is your DNA. A lot of this is your, like, vision. It's how I can make it. A physical thing is. Is.

[A]

But it's also who he is. Like, you are the consummate teammate, dog. Like, for real, like, even we're being like, you are in control of this design, everything. Like, the new logo, bro, you did it. You know what I mean? Like, you did all this stuff, and it's just, like, you won't even take credit. And so I just have to say, like, you just incredible. You're an incredible partner and teammate.

[C]

Like, serious cotton there. And, like, work overnight. So we get. That's what he said the other day.

[A]

He was like, I'll sleep here for three days to just make sure we open on time. Like, well, nobody does that.

[B]

We set a date. We agree.

[A]

Whatever happens, people that already own four, five places, they don't do that. You know?

[B]

I mean, we're. We want. We want to have 10, right? I mean, we got a. We got A new. A new name for. For a group. So, I mean, I'm. I'm in. And again, I think the team is great, and I think that's what kind of drives us over the edge.

[A]

And what's funny is none of us are driven by logic. It's like, I'm driven by the stars and, like, weird spiritual. I. I feel like you.

[C]

You.

[A]

You want to have a great time, and you're a romantic, brother. You know, I'm just.

[C]

I just. The Steinberg magic. I finally took a while to hit on this one, but here it is.

[A]

It's here sometime. It's here. It's here, it's here. You also saved the deal. Like, it got funky for one second. You just. You called me and went walk to sewer park and was done.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, that's how you do it.

[B]

Yeah. So I think that's how real deals are made, man.

[A]

Either way, I can't wait for the day. All the kids are in there, too, having bows and just tearing up the place.

[D]

It's gonna be the best.

[A]

Yeah, it's gonna be amazing.

[C]

I can't wait for the day when I get a check and not right and not write one to stay in business.

[D]

You're not the only one, you know.

[A]

You know what I think it is? And I told her this Mother's Day this year, she's getting a check. And I guarantee you, you are going to get a check on. On in that month. Yeah, that month. I think you're going to get a check.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I would get in trouble with three people if I ask when Mother's Day is.

[D]

Oh, you're good. That's fine. I don't even know. May something. May. Yeah, May 16th.

[B]

It's in May.

[D]

May something. Teen.

[A]

It's like the second Sunday in May.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But either way, guys, thank you. Thank you for everything. Like, honestly, I feel like we are all partners in this, you know, Natasha. Include everybody. Like, this is. Restaurants are a family thing. You give up your husbands, your wives to these places, your energy, and, like, I'm very excited to do this with everybody. Everybody.

[B]

Same thing. Thank you.

[C]

Luckily, I can't keep a wife, so I don't know if that. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

You could dedicate yourself to that. He's like, I got all the time in the world.

[D]

I love that.

[C]

There you go.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Or maybe not. Maybe Bauhaus would be my next wife.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

There you go.

[D]

You have a lot of girl, a lot of mistresses in a restaurant. I like that.

[A]

Incredible.
