3:38
We had to do something purple and delicious. So we have a French toast, a blueberry French toast

5:18
Making design. It took a while. We did a few attempts as you can see we have about five of them here
5:23
It took us a while to get it but they came in pretty good. It takes a while to have this
5:28
and then you have to let a proof and then make it, well, on a few hours, not too long
5:33
These are great. Just tell me how excited you are, what this is a brand new event, Broadway tastes
5:38
Yeah, this is really cool. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I think it's really exciting that you have a pairing of a
5:44
Broadway show with a restaurant, and you get to kind of have a taste of both
5:49
Yes, it's lovely to see all of this Broadway, all of these great restaurants giving to a great cause

You can taste it. I can't see it. I can hear all four of you singing the way on this
