What this episode covers
My guest on E299 is Christina Tosi! Christina is the founder and creative mastermind behind NYC's Milk Bar. She is a classically trained pastry chef who blends culinary technique with unexpectedly whimsical and nostalgic ingredients, Christina began her career working for several powerhouse fine-dining chefs, including David Bouley, Caesar Ramirez, Thomas Keller, Wylie Dufresne, and Alex Stupak. From there, Christina founded the dessert program at David Chang’s Momofuku and built a culinary empire of her own. Described by The New York Times as a “border crossing pastry chef,” Christina opened Milk Bar’s doors in 2008 and has since been recognized as one of this generation's most iconic American pastry chefs. She received the James Beard Foundation award for Rising Star Chef among her many accolades. BOOM! I’m a huge foodie and fan of Milk Bar myself, so I am very excited and hungry to share this incredible episode with everyone. Enjoy every last bite!
