On the latest episode of Hospitality On The Rise, host Alice Cheng connects virtually with Camari Mick, the acclaimed Executive Pastry Chef behind The Musket Room, Raf’s, and Cafe Zaffri in New York City — and a partner at Raf’s. Recently named to Forbes 30 Under 30 and recognized as one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs, Camari opens up about her journey from childhood baking experiments to leading some of the city’s most innovative kitchens. With warmth, honesty, and humor, she shares her thoughts on mentorship, cultural storytelling through food, and the importance of showing up — whether that means collaborating on croissants, crafting heritage-inspired pastries, or sparking magic through DM conversations. This episode is a vibrant, must-listen conversation about creativity, resilience, and building community in modern hospitality.
