Michael D.Mignano has been named Executive Pastry Chef for The Pierre, A Taj Hotel on New York’s Central Park. The talented chef, whose personal mission is to transform The Pierre “into New York City’s premier sweet destination,” previously spent eight years at Four Seasons Hotels in New York leading expert pastry teams, including seven years at the classic Pierre Hotel before it was acquired by Taj Hotels, and recently appeared on several award-winning Food Network shows. Before returning to The Pierre, Chef Mignano spent six years as chef/owner of Long Island’s popular Main Street Bakery & Café in Port Washington, New York, where breakfast, lunch and Sunday brunch menus featured his tempting entrees and signature retro-style desserts. A local favorite was his decadent Main Street Bar, a sweet combination of caramel, cashews, macadamia nuts, chocolate ganache and Rice Krispies on a graham cracker crust topped with Hawaiian Sea Salt, named “New York’s Most Memorable Food Item” by Newsday in 2010.
