Laura Bush recently announced the White House has a new pastry chef.
His name is Bill Yosses, and his credentials are quite impressive: Paul Newman’s Dressing Room, Josephs Citarella, Bouley Restaurant and Bakery, Tavern on the Green, Montrachet — all fantastic restaurants, to be sure. But what Mrs. Bush failed to mention was Yosses’ experience as an author, which On Deadline was quick to note.
The new White House pastry chef, you see, is also the author of Desserts for Dummies. — Keith Plocek
