Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore Visit the Dixie Lee Bakery
The Girl Scouts visited the Dixie Lee Bakery in February for a tour and to interview Chef Burke and his team. They filmed Chef David Burke in an exclusive interview where they asked him to describe his career and share motivational words for the Girl Scouts, leaders, and families.
Pastry Chef Stu then led the Girl Scouts camera crew on a tour of the bakery. The video production will be presented at the competition at Asbury Lanes on March 8th as well as via Girl Scouts communications.
They also delivered several boxes of Raspberry Rally Cookies for the bakery team to begin developing a special recipe for the Asbury Lanes Event.
