You can only comfort yourself with so many baked goods, it seems, but we've found a workaround: We're putting them in our ears instead of our mouths. What a joy it was to sit down with Lani Halliday, who is making the best inclusive pastries around and unveiled her first physical outpost of Brutus Bakeshop during the pandemic. Yes: She's very bold, and we're very obsessed.

If you're in NYC, grab Lani Halliday's baked goods at Brutus Bakeshop in Crown Heights (and get some amazing New Mexican food from Eric See's Ursula while you're there!). If you're anywhere else, buy her (vegan, GF, soy-free) miso chocolate chip cookies on the internet and keep your eyes peeled for her pop tarts and more, more, more.
