Camari Mick is the Executive Pastry Chef at The Musket Room, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan’s Nolita neighborhood.
In 2022, she became a James Beard Award semi-finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef, the same year that the restaurant landed a glowing New York Times review from Pete Wells. Just months later, The Musket Room was also named as one of The New York Times’ best restaurants in America. In 2023, she received her second consecutive James Beard Award semi-finalist nod for Outstanding Pastry Chef, and soon after became one of Dine Diaspora’s distinguished Black Women in Food honorees in the ‘Culinarian’ category.
A community-minded leader, Mick regularly organizes groups of young chefs for collaborative projects. For Black History Month in 2022, she sold provision boxes featuring goods from top black chefs in NYC, garnering substantial media coverage for all involved and selling out numerous weekends.
Prior to The Musket Room, Mick had a limited-run stint at Maison Yaki as part of their Black Entrepreneur Pop-Up series. Before that she honed her pastry experience in some of NYC’s finest kitchens including Thomas Keller’s TAK Room, Le Bernardin and Daniel Boulud’s db Bistro Moderne, including a two-month stage at Eleven Madison Park.
