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.
