yeah so uh what the fuck i just finalized my menu and im sitting here shook

i was on gaf 5 years ago posting about needing help to flee abusive nonsense in florida to go to pastry school in a state ive never been to while young and dumb as shit. now this week i'm taking over the michelin restaurant im currently sous chef of and am doing a coursed prefix dessert menu. all the tickets to my popup sold out a few weeks ago, which i still cant wrap my head around.

my chef blew up in NYT last month so ive been hiding under rocks about my career to avoid any semblance of spotlight but now this tuesday is the day im putting myself out there as the pastry chef of this restaurant in this city and im TERRIFIED

That's awesome! I actually remember your threads about pastry school, good luck Bento!

Just remember to take deep breaths and be cool, even if it's a Michelin restaurant, it's still a restaurant, so don't feel like you can't conquer it!

You got this, gorl. Best wishes.

Don't forget about your friends over Iron-Era when you make it to TV and need a writer feel like sharing some tips.

You can't just say you're a pastry chef of a highly rated restaurant and not post any pics, it's like the law or something. 😑

congratulations though!

Nice! Just remember that you got here for a reason. You'll be fine.

And yeah can you share your desserts? I've got a big sweet tooth and I love new treats.
