Chef Emmanuel Oh
Chef Manny has felt an innate desire to feed others his whole life. And by others, we mean ALL others-- even household appliances. “I liked eating so much, I thought other things-- like the VCR-- needed to eat as well. One day I had a sandwich, and I fed it to the VCR. We ended up having to buy a new one.”
The need to feed never ended for Chef Manny. He went to school for Chemistry, but realized he would rather be mixing and measuring edible ingredients than chemicals. And thus, his career in baking and pastry was born. “In baking everything has to be precise, but it's also really experimental, learning and really understanding how ingredients work, and playing around with them.” Baking also appeals to his own taste. “I have a huge sweet tooth,” he says. “Most people eventually get sugared out. That never happens to me.”
