Popular Miami Pastry Chef To Bring Doughnuts To NYC

Miami pastry chef Max Santiago is bringing his famous doughnuts to New York City in a partnership with the Sugar Factory.

CHELSEA, NY — The Sugar Factory is teaming up with a popular Miami pastry chef to bring a new generation of inventive and Instagram-worthy doughnuts to Manhattan.

The Sugar Factory is partnering with Miami pastry chef Max Santiago, who made an instant name for himself at The Salty Donut in Miami. The sweet shop regularly has lines out the door for his unusual inventions, like the maple and bacon doughnut or the mimosa doughnut. Santiago was also the victor of the Cooking Channel's "Sugar Showdown" reality TV competition.

The Sugar Factory's expansion into doughnut territory, which was first reported by Eater New York, will start with a shop on the Upper West Side, before adding a stall in the Gansevoort Market in Chelsea. (For more news from the Chelsea Patch, subscribe to news alerts here.)
