🔹 Union Oyster House (goo.gl/maps/G4yykuxjySCbT2oJ6)
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Welcome to Boston and one of the restaurants I was most looking forward to eating at was the Union Oyster House - the oldest continually running restaurant in the United States! They are known for their oyster bar and New England style seafood. In this video we’re getting a first hand look at Union Oyster House, the back end kitchen, and the legendary oyster bar!
First of all, I love the old building that actually dates back to way before Union Oyster House opened. There are so many stories that have come out of the amazing building. Union Oyster House opened in 1826, and when you arrive it’s a total step back in time, a living museum that’s a restaurant.
As you enter Union Oyster House, probably my favorite part of the entire restaurant is the oyster bar, which is the original oyster bar. It wasn’t a seating oyster bar, but rather a leaning oyster bar. And it happened to be a favorite of Daniel Webster who would lean at the bar and eat no fewer than 6 dozen oysters. The oysters were phenomenal, so fresh and local, and with a squeeze of lemon and a swipe of horseradish and cocktail sauce. It was some of the best cocktail sauce I’ve ever had.
After taking a full tour of the restaurant we then sat down for a full meal including clam chowder, more oysters, broiled haddock, shrimp with a tomato pesto sauce, and one of my favorite dishes, mussels in white wine, garlic and garlic. The food was fresh and local and prepared in classic New England style. The clam chowder is one of the best I’ve ever had.
Union Oyster House is an iconic restaurant, it has unparalleled history in the United States, and food is quite delicious - especially the oysters and the clam chowder! When you’re in Boston, for both food and history lovers, it’s a must.

I was sitting here trying to decide what my son and I do today. Now I'm thinking to take the 45min drive north and go to Union Oyster House and then walk around the city. 😀
Great to hear that, have an amazing day, and say hi to your son.

Hi Mark!
I'm from Az as well as you. I love how you are so respectful of all the cultures and localities of everywhere that you go.
I also love when you came to my hometown- Tucson. You are one of the food vloggers that I wished would come here, then I knew I would get a good, honest review. Keep up the good work. God bless you and obey the instructions and Acts 2:38 in the Bible. 👍🏼
Dinner at the oyster bar is better than a history class. Much respect for the owner preserving the history, our society needs more men like him.
Mark is a straight character. I hate watching people eat, but he is fun to watch and like many of us truly enjoys GOOD food.
My wife and I ate here when I was diagnosed with cancer and flew to Boston for test! Best oysters I’ve had by far and would recommend for anyone that loves seafood! At least we made it there!! Love following Mark and all the places he goes!! Awesome
I just lost my uncle to cancer, live and eat well ❤️🩹
Wish you good health and happiness!!!
Man that is some classic cooking. Nothing fancy, just the basics cooked to perfection.
he's burnt that garlic at 6:30 though :D
Basically like the food that's perfect for the setting of an all you can eat buffet, a bar and a casino. Not Too little, not too much. But still professional nonetheless and perfect to have when you want to relax after work. Relaxed environment basically I love it. Feels like home and yet in a public setting simultaneously.
Absolutely loved the calm, courteous demeanour of the chef! A veteran in his profession, yet so patient with his explanations. A restaurant this famous hardly requires any over-the-top publicity, but chef is showing around Mark with so much care and respect. Lots of respect for Chef Rico👨🏼🍳
I told my husband that he’s a true chef.

Hi
ruclips.net/user/shortssNh5RrV7s2k?feature=share
@@sheritacloud a true chef that doesnt know how to sear scallops properly lol
Exactly !! I’ve seen different food shows which highlight Iconic restaurants & the Chef/Owners can be obnoxiously jaded. We get that these places are famous and by all means do not need the extra publicity, but stay humble.
I always love to see Ying and Micah it makes my day that Mark takes them with him
Asians are kings
I've been catching some of the USA stops and this one by far is the best one, a quality historic landmark, and glad it was brought to my attention.
You can get a $35 chicken breast or a pork chop.
Add a side of Boston baked beans for $10.
A $4 beverage in addition be it water or soda. Or you can get a $12 beer.
Really reasonably priced.
The chicken and the pork chop comes with either a potato or baby carrots.
Great food reasonably priced. No gimmicks.
With those seating numbers, it’s extremely impressive to maintain quality. I now see it’s due to a TON of prep, my hat is off to the kitchen staff!
Right about that, amazing organization!
Prep is where the difference starts !
Right about that, amazing organization!
Hi
Everyday i wake up & watch “seven hunnid” on RUclips , im addicted ever since i found out about him😔
This dude seriously blows away so much of the food content that's on TV nowadays.
We love your content, Mark!
Really? Ah come on! He tilts his head and he's amazing?!? It's all a show!
This guy clearly has no idea how to eat an oyster and has 0 table manners.
@@ragingbar LMFAO thats a funny comment but cmon jus let him enjoy his food
@@ragingbar I agree he has zero Table Manners ... what's even worse is that people are so crass ,rude and stupid these days ...they watch Mark slurp , gobble ,gulp and make disgusting sounds when he's eating and think this is normal fun behavior ...
@@TheMobileHomestead oh shut up
What a fantastic chef. So much patience and love for the food. So appreciative of you being there Mark. He was such a pleasure to watch....I've seen alot of your videos and I'm not sure if I've seen a chef/owner that showed so much as far as cooking, the restaurant, the history, and the process. Great video!!
Another great historical Restaurant/Tavern/Inn that really captures the Central New England qualities is The Bull Run in Shirley, Ma. During the early 1800's this was the first stop on the Boston to Albany Stage Coach.
The efforts they put in preparation is quite amazing, the presentation is so inviting.
To the person reading this: Even though I don’t know you, I wish you the best of what life has to offer.
Wish you the same pal💖
All the best to you your friends and family!
Same to you
❤️
Thanks!
With close to 8 million YT subscribers, Mark has achieved great things and can continue to do so. A rare influencer that sticks to his roots since day 1.
Hgggvb
@@ericdiekmann2308 home of over priced oysters
One of my favorite restaurants in the US. Loved it there. Best oysters ever. (Grand Central Oyster Bar in NYC has also great Boston oysters but that restaurant beats them all. Hats down.) And the waitresses... lol. So iconic.
We love chef Rico of Union Oyster House and we were honored to see him using his Turbo fry pans so skillfully. Thank you, Mark and team, for creating this fun video and for visiting our nation’s legendary eateries. Looking forward to the rest of the series! 🙌
@@rp9694???
@@ahemahem8106 they are pointing out what pans the chef uses.
I really like that Mark does street food, fine dining, and home made food tours.
It's a joy and interesting experience for the viewers.❤💥
I like mark
Mark has the best attitude towards everything. He’s always smiling, very polite, and seems to be just so happy. Why can’t I be this happy? I’d love to always be smiling like he is. He seems to be enjoying life.
agreeddd... i would love tp be friends with him, sooo positive
he has a good attitude and have positive people around him. Positive people are you makes a big difference in life😊
Compare it to your behavior when you are vacationing.
He is enjoying life because he has money to let him do what he loves
Well for one he’s literally on vacation 24/7 getting paid to do what he loves, traveling and eating great food lol I’d be just as happy if I was in his position lol
Aaah, my mouth is watering for a taste of those succulent seafood dishes!
Union Oyster House in Boston, Massachusetts.
😋🤤😀🍤🍻
We appreciate so much the chef showing us his kitchen and dishes. We can see his pride!
Food looks so fricken good......nothing bougie and fancy, just good food. Love the vibes of the restaurant as well, can't wait to one day come to this restaurant
You must. Simple New England food that you can't get anywhere else. I'm so missing that cornbread and chowder right now
for some reason, seeing a restaurant this old makes me contented inside. chef seems a delight to be around too.
Mark is the man! His energy and enthusiasm for food and how he also educates you on the history behind the places he visits! Love it!
i love the chef.. very friendly and very approachable kinda reminds me of my late dad.
"we prefer to be thick"
Me too chef. Me too.
Was saying the same thing as he said that lmao.

Yes, we do haha
As an Australian food lover, I went to this restaurant a few years ago whilst on a business trip. The history and the flavourful food was a great experience. Pity I did not try the Boston baked beans. Thank you for bringing back the memories!
You sold weed?
Great to hear that, thanks Peter!

Hello my friend how are you doing?
BOSTON, BEAUTIFUL AND legendary city.
Mark is funny and a productive man . Never underestimate his happy go lucky character .
Mark is so respectful to everyone and all the cultures. Amazing man
Soo trueee
yup he is , humble guy
srs
That's why he's our guy, a true paragon of how humans supposed to be.
Yes he’s great!
As a proud Bostonian, WELCOME 🤗
This just went on my bucket list. Amazing restaurant.
Daniel Webster buried in New Haven
Definitely bucket list!
Mark, I just wanna say how much I appreciate your channel. You're always so enthusiastic about everywhere you go, and I love it.
What a cool gig Mark set himself up in; eating at some of the best restaurants, sampling some of the best food and traveling the world is the way I would like to spend my time!
Word
He also gets to take his family with him so his life`s mostly a big family holiday whilst earning a good living=Lucky Mark.
Exactly
Big fan of the chef he seems to be very involved and knows all there recipes…Good job my man Mark
That usually helps a dish taste better. When the chef actually cares. lol.
I have such fond memories of The Union Oyster House! It is such an amazing place with food that represents exactly what Boston is about. These are my old stomping grounds. I miss Boston!!
This is like visiting home. Born and raised in Massachusetts and living in Boston after college, I took all of this deliciousness for granted until i moved out of state. I miss it.
I love this chef, his interaction, just so great.
Unquestionably one of Mark’s very best videos (hands-down) this one is super instructional and a trip through history that is nothing short of amazing. The Boston Chamber of Commerce owes you a pat on the back Mark. Great in-kitchen instruction!
Thank you very much Robert, and especially thank you to the Union Oyster House for such great information and preserving the history.
The pace is amazing. They don't just cook. They prepare the food with love and care! Excellent service.
It’s amazing how much history is involved….that’s awesome that you got to see the Thai consulate
this is one of the best restaurant that you've ever been to mark! the food, the hospitality, the amazing history is something that you wouldn't get from another restaurant
Great to hear that!
Great to hear that!
Great to hear that!
Lol. it's really not that great... tourist trap.. Mark makes it look so much better than it is... no one from Boston or the area actually eats here!
Perhaps in the states but worldwide? Not even close. Actually not even close in the states.
They all look friendly and seem to enjoy what they do.. I'll like to visit some day.
I'm from Boston and have been here many times. The clam chowder, mussels, and scallops are absolutely awesome, and especially having a few local brews with them.
It’s one of the best restaurants in Boston, if not the U..S.

Great to visit
Mark infects with his enthusiasm to explore different cultures and foods. Really great guy!
yes very special restaurant. i love the frozen carrots with the cod.
Really nice Chef. Explained everything so well. Fantastic food and great staff. The oysters look amazingly fresh.
I like how Mark brings his family with him, and the expressions are gold lol you should do a part 2 of Boston

Wow! What a bunch of great history of our Country. Mark, Ying and Micah and all the good ppl of UNION HOUSE shared sooo much and that Oyster Bar looked so fresh I could taste it all through my screen. Absolutely stunning Clam Chowder of which I am a huge fan. And to top it off Chief Rico, was wonderful and so accomodating. The Thai Flag flying right there all just frozen in time. One could fall in love with that establishment! Thank you all. It was such an awesome video.
Mark is a truly amazing person- he's so respectful to everyone, of all cultures. His positive attitude is inspiring! 🤩
A few years back, I was able to eat there and be lucky enough to sit at the JFK table... The food is truly amazing, and yes you can eat gallons of that chowder.. Also to note for beer lovers that they have a special brew made by Sam Adams called Colonial Ale which can ONLY be found at Union Oyster House.. and that was spot on too. If you are in Boston... you got to stop!
Very cool to hear that John, thanks for sharing and great tips about the special brew. Next time I need to try that!
That chowder is out of a bag!! I worked there for over 10 years :) beans are bushes
@@user-jv9dc2iu8b topkek
As a native New Englander, there is a certain perfection to such simple dishes of freshly harvested seafood
Agree!
Exactly!!
Indeed!
When I started watching him I thought mark would be painful to watch. Now I can't stop watching him. Haven't seen a Food guy that's this respectful and knowledgeable. Keep up the good attitude
He's free to do as he pleases
This was one of your finest episodes, Mark. I had no idea this was the oldest restaurant in America. The fact that it's basically a living museum is awesome too. I've never been to Boston but this restaurant is definitely on my list to visit when I do make a trip to the East coast. A really fun and informative video and it was great to get a look behind the scenes in the kitchen too. Your host was really friendly and the food all looked incredible. Your appreciation of and enthusiasm for the food and the history of the restaurant really elevate the video. This is what food on RUclips is and should be all about. The connection to Thailand was a nice and unexpected surprise too. What a special restaurant.
It's not the oldest, The White Horse Tavern in Newport, RI is as it started serving food in 1673 and has ever since. Mark might be making a symantic distinction as the Oyster House is just a restaurant vs a Tavern.
You know you can always tell which foods are good, or out of this world. If Mark thinks it’s good he nods his head and says “oh yeah.” But if the food is out of this world good, he does the “close the eyes, foodgasmic lean” and you know that food is 🔥🔥🔥. My favorite food blogger ever!!! Thanks for taking us around the world with you Mark.
definitely one of the most appetizing videos you've ever made - need to check this place out!
North Americans think their stuff is so old, the rest of the world is literally ancient
@@keithmattingly1125 ?
Lovely young man and family makes me feel peaceful. Blessings on this family.
I loved the pans that the chef used. They look very trustworthy and very basic which is so beautiful, really loved them.
Thank you. 🥰 They are the most energy efficient (fastest) professional pans for gas stovetops. The quadruple rivet does indeed help with durability and the handle design keeps it cool. 💪
Congratulations Mark Wiens you are so close of 8Million subscribers we are waiting for it.☺️
@Jayde Christina hmm
MARK WIENS IS ONE OF THE BEST!
I love your genuine attitude and the joy you exude. Also a shout out to Ying and Micah. My daughter always loves Micah's appearances.
Mark we need you to have your own Netflix series! That will be amazing!
RUclips works and is just fine
Netflix the thieves
I like the episode where that homeless bum drains a massive bloody puss filled boil in a cup and mark eats it as a custard and is wowd by the raspberry custard.
Can we all appreciate the fact that this fella never disappointed us with his content 🤚
👍
You’re making me feel like traveling east to Boston. Hungry in California.
Friendly tip: Next time you have an oyster, try using the seafood fork to gently scrape it off the shell before eating, it will just slide into your mouth along with all the juices :) Keep up the great Vlogs!!
A skilled shucker would have cut away the oyster meat 24:17 from the bottom shell! You shouldn't have to struggle to bite the meat to get it off ... also some oysters looked thin and watery ...train shuckers better and get some nice plump quality oysters!
I’m a seafood lover and I love in Philly. After watching this amazing video and restaurant I just told my wife to drive 4 hours down to Boston next weekend and go here and walk around the city. Can’t wait!!!
Marks amazing content working for the better
You will NOT be disappointed! Of course, your love your World famous Subs in Philly. But, seriously go try the Sub Shop on the main street through Malden, MA. (Bowston Suburb) that's been there almost 100 years, with over 120 subs on the menu. It does some serious competition with your Philly Subs. I'd love to hear a review from you on it.
how was your trip? did you visit this restaurant?
Happy Halloween
I deleted that comment as autocorrect subbed words in.
I meant to say we talked about this at the local piss club. Gathered around the piss trough.
I was
Swilling back a 2 gallon jug of fermented hobo urine I think It was dated p
2001. Fine jug of pee but that’s not the point.
we were talking about how overpriced the oyster house is the point.

I could not be any clearer on this buddy.
18:24 the plating over there.... Oh my gosh!! 😍😍😍
What a great restaurant.
The food looks phenomenal.
The shrimp& scallops yum
This is where I was born and raised ❤
My favorite restaurant anywhere! I estimate I've had lunch there over 100 times even though I live about an hour away. The food and service has always been excellent. The most memorable meal I ever had there was broiled bluefish, not always on the menu but magnificent!
Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 😍 Stay blessed ♥️
All the best to you, your friends and family!
Thank you very much Dr. Bruno, have an amazing day as well!
This wonderful oyster shop is so spellbinding with its ambience and the people who cook the culinary delights.
You are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your travels and food with us!
There’s something about things you eat that make everything look so enjoyable. I don’t like seafood but those oysters 😋
Mark is always like an eating dictionary, rich in gastronomic adjectives. Enjoy watching him eat and speak at the same time.
What makes your channel better than any other, is you give history behind the places and the culture. So we understand the food and culture. I just love your channel.
Wow. That it's amazing Mark. I also love history and this place it's speachless. Greatings from Austria!
That pan seared shrimp and scallops looks really delicious 🤤
That was one of the best dishes!
When we visited Boston many times we ate at the Oyster Bar 2X it was excellent......Great video Mark
Cool to hear that Effie, glad you loved it too!
@@MarkWiens Oh my Mark now you made my day by replying Love you and Ying and Micah
Oh wow yes! We had an amazing time here.. food was awesome! Would love to go back again!
Cool to hear that Effie, glad you loved it too!
I have throat cancer so I can’t eat right now. Watching you eat and your videos makes me feel great 👍😀 Thank you
What an awesome experience! I love historical landmarks! Great video!
The chef is so down to earth ..!!! Love his interaction.!!!!
Morning Mark Wiens hope you having a great morning. Welcome to United States
Just realised why I love Mark Wiens food channel ... it's the way he rolls his eyes back and goes mmmmm with every bite. I instantly want to go out and buy some food when I see this guy eat loool !
As a seafood lover everything looks so good... I will make it a pilgrimage to visit this restaurant before I leave this world...
I would like to be buried in baked beans and oysters. What a dream. Thanks Mark!
Lol
My goodness, all the foods are so delicious and mouthwatering.
I went there in September 2010! It was wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experience! :)
Such a lovely young man. Hope we meet him one day on our travels.
mark after every bite
"oh wow"
Through most of this video my mouth was watering. I love everything they have on the menu - all beautifully prepared.
So cool how willing this place was to show you around. Great hosts! Seafood looks awesome.
The classic feel of this place is amazing and of course the food looks exquisite. Hoping to visit New England someday. Greetings from the Philippines. 🇵🇭😊
We’ve been working from home since March 2020 we go back in the office in two weeks, I cannot wait! Downtown Boston is filled with some of the most amazing restaurants! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Mark is so humble he knows more about this food than the people serving him 😂!
No he does not! I do like Mark, however he is clueless when it comes to history or reasons behind most dishes.
Every video this guy puts out he gives you the history of the historical dishes and places he eats. I'm more than sure he did his research on this place cmon now. I was only saying he's so humble he lets them tell the history of the food of which he probably already knows. It was partially a joke hence laughing emoji! Calm down sheesh.
@@ashleyhay7682 Clueless behind most dishes? American maybe yes, but Asian? Hell no. Calm down white people. He travels literally around the world, what do you know besides ketchup, salt and pepper?
@@ashleyhay7682 i agree with u.
No NO HE DON'T
Mark and Trevor James are still both on my top list for food show.... Love both of them equally...
I grew up right around the corner….. been there many, many times! Just awesome!
Always love ur smiling face Mark☺️☺️God bless you 🤲
Love it! I just went last year. The chowder and everything else, unpretentiously simple but so very delicious!
Great to hear that Natalie, glad you loved it too!
You know the food is great when he says "hmmm" and "wow"🤣😜
Great historical content. Thank you Mark for delivering refreshing material in your videos. Well done my friend!
What an amazing staff! Chef Rico was so kind and had great explanations. Wish I could learn from him!
