Momofuku Milk Bar is part of the larger Manhattan based restaurant group Momofuku restaurant group created by Korean-American chef, David Chang. The Momofuku restaurant group is made up of twelve branches, many of which are in New York City, including the original Milk Bar. Chang expanded the Momofuku family to Toronto with another Milk Bar. However, the master-mind behind the desserts featured at the Milk Bar, is chef and co-owner Christina Tosi.

History

As a graduate of the French Culinary Institute, Christina Tosi began her culinary career at upscale New York restaurants such as Bouley and WD-50 Tosi began her career at Momofuku as a food safety consultant. After bringing in various unconventional homemade desserts, Chang demanded she re-create these delicious treats for a dinner service that evening. When Momofuku Ssam Bar decided to expand into a neighboring vacant laundromat, Tosi proposed the idea to add a bakery where she could create her famous "happy mistakes". Momofuku Milk bar has grown from the small original space in the East Village to a total of seven locations, four in Manhattan, two in Brooklyn and one in Toronto.

Tosi's skills helped her receive the prestigious James Beard Foundation award for Rising Star Chef of the Year, in 2012. Tosi's book, titled Momofuku Milk Bar was released in October of 2011.
