Founder

A real life Rose the Riveter and Food Network ‘Chopped’ Champion, Madeline rose to piquant provenance as the Plaza Hotel’s first ever female head chef - one gutsy woman in a kitchen of 99 men - before opening New York’s beloved Duane Park Patisserie 1992, which she continues to own and operate.
