Who's in charge of the desserts?
Do you have a pastry chef?
If not, is pastry something that you like to do?
A lot of chefs I know HATE doing desserts, is it your case?

Hi Patrice,

Thanks for checking out our pastry department! The workspace available for pastry production and service is quite small but we are passionate about creating simple and enjoyable desserts. Fortunately, we have a young man named Joel De la Cruz who is in charge of the pastries. He has been working at Blue Hill since the opening of the restaurant and has proven himself to be extremely eager to learn, progressive thinking and dependable.

A long time friendship with Pierre Reboul , formerely of Vong, has also helped us to focus our ideas on the pastry menu.

If you have any suggestions or new ideas we are all ears!

Thanks,

Mike

I congratulate Joel on the Chocolate dessert I had on my recent visit. It was without doubt one of the finest I have had anywhere at any time

Well done
