We hope you’re aware that desserts are getting a lot more cred in the culinary world these days, and thus it’s kind of big news that a pastry chef who’s been working at Noma (a.k.a. the “number-one restaurant in the world“) for several years is returning to the states to take a job at the French Laundry. Chef René Redzepi tweeted the news today, and we find that pastry chef Milton Abel (shown asleep in a video), was actually part of Thomas Keller’s team before, three years ago, before Keller encouraged him to go work for Redzepi. His start date is still TBA. [ReneRedzepiNoma/Twitter via Eater]
