Andrew Talks to Chefs Chicago's Mindy Segal (Mindy's Bakery) on Collaboration, Cannabis, and a Life without Recipes
From high atop the Hoxton Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Chicago's Mindy Segal takes us through her life and career: How she grativitated to the pro kitchen and zeroed in on pastry; her instinct-based approach to creativity and collaboration; and the genesis of her self-titled line of edibles, as well as the story behind her current place, Mindy's Bakery.
