THE PROACTIVE PASTRY As soon as Camari Mick joined The Musket Room in November 2020, she started exploring ways the fine-dining restaurant could remain relevant amid Covid challenges. Mick took the lead in launching MR All-Day, a café concept operating out of a vintage 1962 Harvester truck parked outside the Nolita establishment. With a style described as “playful yet refined,” the pastry chef has been lauded by none other than The New York Times ’ Pete Wells and also received a James Beard nomination for Outstand ing Pastry Chef. Outside of the restaurant, Mick works with young chefs in the community on collaborative projects.
