Steven Konopelski has taken an unusual path to get to cooking, but it's that unique journey that makes his story that much more compelling. After a career as a ballet dancer and Broadway chorus boy, he became enamored with the culinary world. Specifically, the land of sweets. His Act 2 turned into something far bigger than he could've ever imagined and led him to working with some of the industry's biggest names including the one-and-only Claudia Fleming. He now works as an educator for the Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and is here to share his story.
