butter.bread.boulangerie: Zac Young Visits FCI

For anyone who has been watching Top Chef just desserts, you'll recognize who Zac Young is. Most of us went to the demo after class because we were curious how he was in real life, given the show suggested he's slightly insane. We were pleasantly surprised when not only were his desserts fantastic (and informative!), but he was also absolutely hilarious and highly entertaining. I generally don't care much for traditional American desserts, but his take was fantastic, utilizing savory elements and introducing interesting alterations to update old classics. It was easily the best demo I've been to! And it was much needed after another stressful day. After a hell-ish morning (worse than yesterday) as students were ready to stage a walk out we brought up chef Jergen to hear our concerns. He then talked to Chef Tom, and as a result the afternoon was very pleasant. Though, we're all skeptical, waiting to see how long it lasts!
