Feeding the Homeless and making keylime pies and being recognized

On Wednesday and Thursday of this past week, we cooked and served dinner for the homeless shelter at Transfiguration church on Marcy Avenue.  It felt good to be able to help out people who are going through difficult times in their lives, and it was also sad and scary to see people who were close to our age and younger living on he streets and not being able to afford to feed themselves.  Our 24 year old niece came with us to help out and was a little shaken to see someone her age there.   It also inspired her.  She called a few friends, and they're going to get together and take a  night to donate a meal.  

On a lighter note, we are busy making keylime pies to our friends at Sel De Mer, and designing a Valentine dessert menu, and Chef Joe is getting recognized from TLC's Next Great Baker.  Yesterday, he almost fell in the snow, and someone yelled "to the box truck baby".  aaaah the price of fame.

We're still looking for that perfect spot to set up shop once again so that our fans can come in and chat while they eat our desserts.

Stay tuned for more updates...

thanks for your support

hi chef joe hear for those of you that watched next great baker on tlc thank you for watching and all of your support to those who became fans.you may have watched my return to the show on episode 6  and i was put on the same team with corina and meagan to make a wedding cake .well my input waas not taken seriously and we lost the chalenge. i do know how to make a wedding cake with it standing strait up and not leaning to the side but when i wanted to contibute i was pushed out and wanted to avoid another bout of drama but as you who watched the show seen in past episodes it was not me that dificult to work with .i came back to the show to compete and win but things did not happen that way all of you who know me know i am passionet about my work even those of you who remember me in the plumbing industry know i don't play but i had enough drama on that show.so thanks for watching and i will be looking for more competions to compete in more dessert type competions of couse and we will have another pop up real soon so hi me up on facebook or twitter i love to hear from my friends

Feeding the Homeless

On Wednesday, January 26th and Thursday, January 27th, we will be cooking and serving food to a men's shelter at Transfiguration church on Marcy Avenue.  This is something we started doing last year, and we want to continue to do so  for as long as we can.  We're even getting help from our local Boy Scout Troop, along with our friends in the neighborhood restaurants to help out. A couple of places are donating side dishes and we're cooking the main meal and dessert.

We're always looking for volunteers so if anyone wants to help out, please contact us.

Now we're just bragging

The  Cannolis are going like hotcakes, lots of people saw our little blurb in the NY Times, or the article in the Greenpoint Gazzette, or perhaps it was the interview chef Joe did with The Examiner, or possible our write up in Serious Eats., Maybe the mention in the Daily News Oh and did we forget Zagat buzz. We're bragging, but.......Oh who are we kidding we are bragging. This is so cool
