MILLE FÊTE PASTRY COOK

James Beard award-winning chef, Robynne Maii, and husband, Chuck Bussler, partnered with pastry chef extraordinaire, Katherine Yang, founder of Gigi Blue, in creating Mille Fête–a refined seasonal bakery by day and wine bar by night, featuring biodynamic, low-intervention selections, favorite amari, and small bites.
