A Sunday Conversation with Amanda Rockman, Pastry Chef and Culinary Director

Amanda Rockman is a pastry chef who’s competed on Top Chef: Just Desserts, and has triumphed by Beating Bobby Flay with her Tiramisu. Today, she’s Executive Pastry Chef over New Waterloo’s network of Austin, TX restaurants, including Cafe no sé, Sway, and General Standard. Her career and training has taken her through the cut-throat culinary meccas of Chi-town, San Fran, and NYC, but her solid work ethic and “I-got-this” personality paves the way for a creative character that’s built to last. Hear our discussion on mentorship, the hustle, and why doing your passion isn't always sweets and smiles.
