Who are the next rising stars? Who is poised to break away from the pack? Who has accomplished something really cool? We've found a dozen individuals and duos who fit the bill.
Tiffany MacIsaac
Executive pastry chef, Neighborhood Restaurant Group, Washington, DC
Why we're watching: She's built a loyal fan base for her mouth-watering breakfast pastries and desserts atBuzz Bakery, and she's also lending her creativity to NRG's upscale restaurants including Tallula, Eatbar, Vermilion, Evening Star Café, Columbia Firehouse, Rustico and Birch & Barley.
At the latter restaurant, where spouse Kyle Bailey is executive chef, her creations include elegant takes on lemon-poppy seed donuts, a chocolate peanut butter tart, fresh-baked pretzel rolls and a cashew-studded version of a Snickers bar.
MacIsaac honed her craft at New York's Institute of Culinary Education, then launched her career at Union Square Café. From there she joined ILO and Tuscan Restaurant, then rose to pastry chef at CRU. Before joining NRG, she was pastry chef at Allen & Delancey. This year, the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington named her pastry chef of the year.
