557: Can Doughnuts Be World-Class Desserts? Fany Gerson Makes a Sweet Case.

Today on the show, we welcome Fany Gerson into the studio. Fany is the chef and owner of a diverse roster of New York City food businesses, including La Newyorkina, famous for ice cream and paletas, and Fan Fan Doughnuts, which was recently named a James Beard Award semifinalist. In this episode, we talk about her amazing career, her many cookbooks, and what it’s like to run a restaurant in these tumultuous times. Fany is one of my favorite people in food, and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Also on the show we present to you a spring restaurant preview of sorts. Aliza and Matt go over a number of restaurants they want to visit. They are opening their Apple Notes "Restaurants" page for all to see, and land on some good ones, including Zimmi's, Golden HOF, Sunn's, Smithereens, Rasarumah, Cafe Kestrel, and many more. Mixteca has been at the forefront of supporting thousands of newly-arrived asylum-seekers. Visit: mixteca.org Do you enjoy This Is TASTE? Drop us a review on Apple, or star us on Spotify.
