S2. Ep. 12: From the Big Stage to the Soundstage (and many pastries in between) | Zac Young, Pastry Chef & Food TV Personality
HAPPY HALLOWEEN WHISKTAKERS!
It’s become a thing on the podcast to have a fun episode for Halloween. After filming Halloween Baking Championship Season 8 in 2022, Halloween has become a super meaningful holiday to me! Last year I welcomed two past HBC winners for a fun roundtable. This year, I knew I had to go even bigger… so I invited HBC JUDGE, Pastry Chef Extraordinaire, and the entrepreneur behind the infamous Piecaken, Zac Young, to join us in the studio!
This episode has ALL THE THINGS:
Hear about Zac’s unique journey from a musical theater career to somehow finding himself enrolling in culinary school
Zac’s adventures working as part of the opening team at Bouchon Bakery, as the pastry chef for Alex Guarnaschelli, and consulting for (and ultimately becoming a partner at) The David Burke Group.
The story behind the creation of the Piecaken, Zac’s foray into large-scale production desserts for wholesale, and the opening of his newest venture, Zac Young’s Sprinkletown
How Zac landed his “night job” doing Food TV, and how he balances his crazy schedule
ALLLL of the behind-the-scenes tea about Halloween Baking Championship, what it’s like to be a judge on Food TV, and a fun round of HBC-themed rapid-fire-questions!
