As one of Boston's most notable chefs and restaurateurs, Chef Ken Oringer's interest in restaurants began as a child in New Jersey. In 1997, Ken opened Clio, the early success of Clio earned Ken a James Beard Award nomination for Best Chef Northeast four years in a row, ultimately being honored with Best Chef Northeast in 2001. From that point forward, Ken has opened Uni, Toro, Coppa, Toro NYC, with Toro Bangkok, and Little Donkey Cambridge coming soon.
