Christina Tosi, chef and founder of New York’s award-winning Milk Bar bakery, knows a thing or two about amazing food. Aside from her own culinary achievements (which have earned her several James Beard Awards), Milk Bar is an off shoot of David Chang’s world-famous Momofuku restaurant group, and she has worked in some of the city’s best restaurants. We wanted to find out where this adventure seeking business woman likes to eat when she travels around the country visiting her many Milk Bar storefronts, so we asked...

My favorite restaurant of Jose Andres’ long before I decided to become a chef. This place offers an innovative menu inspired by Turkish, Greek and Lebanese cuisines - a true crowd pleaser.

Wonderful evening. Very loud and hard to have table conversation, but food was amazing and staff was great!

Breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks, this is the Milk Bar crew’s home base in DC. A round of pommes frites for the table is a must (mayo + ketchup on the side, always & obviously).

A slice of home away from my NYC home. This elegant eatery is sure to please your taste buds. Be sure to check out the Giannini Bar for a drink before or after your scrumptious dinner.

Nancy Silverton is a boss. I always get her chopped salad at Pizzeria Mozza, but her Ribollita Da Delfina, toasts/bruschetta and ALL the pastas at Osteria Mozza keep me coming back. Plus, I can walk to Milk Bar for dessert afterwards - huge win in my book!

A great dining experience from drinks to dessert. The food, the service, the space. The best the city had to offer.

Gotta support my co-host, plus I'd order 6 beef Wellington’s to my room if I could. If steak is your thing, this is your place.

Jamie and Ken made Boston feel like home during our Milk Bar opening. Small plates inspired by global cuisines make for a unique dining experience...and I never leave without trying all the desserts.

Another wonderful meal at little donkey. The service is attentive without being intrusive, and the food is fantastic. They create diverse dishes with flavors that you don’t expect to work together and then they end up being delicious. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in Cambridge, a real go backer
