Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.
We had a great night last night, a wonderful night,
and one would think of staying up and we're you know,
doing important things and eating and drinking with our friends.
We would come in here like drag acid, but we're not.
We seem to be still invigorated from what we witnessed
last night. Every year the Chef's for Kids Cancer event,
of course, put on by our friend Gretchen and everyone
(00:23):
that works with Cookies for Kids Cancer. We get together
in a big room full of the best chefs in
New York City and beyond, and they all have their
stations going, they have the ovens and stoves are going,
and the place is just smoky and you stink, you know,
after a while. But that's okay. But we raised so
much money and talk about some incredible stories involving kids
with cancer, pediatric cancer, not only them but their families,
(00:46):
and we're there to support a lot of money is raised,
a lot of grants are are developed to make sure
we're trying to get ahead of all things pediatric cancer
and cancer is one of my favorite people that shows
up every year. Are you there, Christina Oh?

been such fans of her since she even knew we existed.
Of course, Milk Bar here in New York and beyond
is just an incredible entity. I mean when it comes
to desserts and everything sweet and incredible. But your story
is amazing and we'll get into that. But thank you

you know, it's a tough crowd. It's a tough crowd
because it's a lot of people eating and drinking, and
the acoustics are kind of weird, but we do the best.
I tell you, it was a moving night last night.
But when it comes time for me to talk. No
one gives, no one cares. You should yell at everyone
(02:15):
a lot. I try, you try to shut people up.
But of course my joke fell totally flat. Last night
Christina about how I mispronounced all the chef's names.
Speaker 2 (02:26):

than ever. Tell everyone what you what you served us?
Eyes are rolling in here, everything on the dessert platters.
What what did you come up with?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So, with the help of four brilliant pastry chefs, Chef Scott,
chefs the bast and Chef Fanny and Chef Mihunt, we
had this parade of ice cream sandwiches. So I brought
the classic milk Bar birthday cake truffles because tradition ten
years in and these incredible chefs each made these brilliant
handheld ice cream sandwiches. It's such a big fancy event
(03:55):
that by the time it comes to dessert, you just
want something that's like easy and fun and makes you
feel like a kid and casual, like the final kiss,
so ginger snap cookie with a little bit of caramelized ginger,
and like fresh vanilla ice cream, like vanilla bean speckled
at like the best vanilla ice cream possible. A hort
(04:16):
Chota chocolate chip ice cream sandwich, a chocolate que not
ice cream sandwich, yes, thank you, and then a brilliant
ice cream sandwich served on a briosh fun so like
big and glossy and naughty and soft in all of
the best ways.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Naughty and soft. I love, we love naughty and soft
when it comes to describing desserts. But you know, Christine,
I mean, you are the master at all of these desserts.
And thank you, thank you. This cookie jar, now, this
is something people don't know. If you don't go to
these events. At the end of the event, when you're leaving,
you get you get the swag bag, which is great,
(04:54):
but you get this cookie jar. Some of the best
cookie chefs in New York City, they each have their
faceavorite cookies individually wrapped and labeled. And how do you help?
I mean, are you a part of this? I mean,
are you a part of the put house together?
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So we usually do, I mean just in case, like
a brilliant you know cocktail our four course meal where
a chef like parades for you and your nine other
guests a beautiful tasting menu and then this brilliant dessert
that happens. It's not enough anyway, you get to take
on this brilliant jar of cookies. We usually do thirteen
(05:30):
because you know Baker's does and we have to be cute.
This year twenty six cookies, So two bakers dozen worth
of cookies and it comes from brilliant bakers and jeff
in New York City and all across the country and
they all make something different. And of course, like that's
one of the biggest planning bits. Can you imagine, like
the operations.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
To non in each cookie, each cookie has the chef's
name where they're from. And for instance, this was a
brilliant find here Christina Karen Demasco from grammar syat Tavern
to the brown buttered chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
By the way, good morning, right, like drink that with
your coffee.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So they're supposed to be you said, twenty five cookies
in this jar. Six, Oh well, there's twenty five in
the one we're giving away, there's twenty five and the
one we're giving away cause I ate the olive oil cake.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
It is like it's the power, like the reason we
do it on top of it's not to gild the lily.
It's because Cookies for Kids Cancer like started with a
bake sale. And I mean as a baker and like
a very passionate dessert person. The power of a cookie
is it can it can do so much, so much good.
(06:47):
And I think that for me is the like it's
the gift that just keeps on giving. You can eat.
You could spend twenty five days eating twenty five cookies
reminded of it.
