Summary: You asked for a chocolate episode, and boy have we got the goods for you! Meet Maury Rubin, the man behind the most renowned hot chocolate in New York City, the legend behind the mythical and beloved City Bakery. We’re not kidding about being a legend -- before Maury, NY bakeries were still using canned fruits for their pastries! The girls discuss Marshmallow technique (who knew there were no egg whites in marshmallows!), the importance of aerating your hot chocolate, and the ever-changing landscape of retail in New York City. To all those who loved City Bakery, this was the beautiful note left in the window the week it closed: “It’s true. City Bakery has closed. What a time. What a world this was. What a loss. A loss for all of us. We’ll miss this forever. Thank you New York.” We still miss it constantly, but are overjoyed to have gotten to spend some time talking to Maury, shopkeeper and baker extraordinaire. XOXO Thanks for listening!
