Bryce Caron Lands at Graham Elliot as Pastry Chef

Fridays must be the days for Bryce Caron news. It was exactly three weeks ago that Eater talked to Caron about his being let go from Blackbird after just a year there. Now comes the good news that the talented pastry chef, who was named a Food & Wine Best New Pastry Chef earlier this year, has landed at Graham Elliot.

Caron will work alongside chef Andrew Brochu at the River North spot; this is also the first time the restaurant will have a full-time dedicated pastry chef. Specifics on exactly what will come out of the kitchen haven't been revealed, but it'll be a mix of sweet and savory desserts. In a statement, Elliot said, "We're confident his artistic creations will play an integral part in our restaurant's quest for culinary excellence."
