NYC's Milk Bar Comes to LA, Petit Trois Changes It Up, and More A.M. Intel

Milk Bar comes to LA — sort of

Christina Tosi’s Milk Bar is a big, big name in the dessert world, but until now Tosi has been focused on her New York shops. That’s about to change (though not in the way you might be thinking) with the arrival of the limited edition Milk Bar Ice Cream Truck. The whole thing is sponsored by Lactaid, actually, and will be doling out free ice cream starting Friday and running through Monday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The truck will be at the Santa Monica Pier, so if you’re comfortable braving the crowds on a holiday weekend, there’s free ice cream in your future.

Kris Yenbamroong’s office vibes

Night + Market chef/owner Kris Yenbamroong is hard at work in his office these days, turning out recipes and stories for his forthcoming cookbook. His wife and business partner Sarah St. Lifer is also in the writing game, and the two share details of their work/life balance and office habits over at Laurel & Wolf. The coolest part? Yenbamroong’s wall of mementos.
