Chris Machado is a hunkier, more tattooed Cédric Grolet (two sleeves to Cédric’s one). His croissants are just as glossy and perfectly laminated - maybe more so - but without the lines or the price.
Everything’s baked in the same space, and people are obsessed with the flans that look like oversized egg tarts. He's even kind enough to share the recipe for his maple chocolate cookies.
