Duarte at Speckled Ax

Carlos Duarte has joined the Speckled Ax team where he’ll be the chef at their Thames Street location. Duarte has worked at Evo and Twelve as well as running his pop-up series Turamali. You can see Duarte demonstrating how to prepare fried chochoyotes in this instagram story we published in September 2020.

As Speckled Ax shared on instagram, “Things won’t be quite so fancy at our humble coffee shop, but there will be tasty breakfast sandwiches for here or to take away from our new grab-n-go case, along with a few staples like overnight maple oats with tahini, banana, and sesame tuile. He’ll also be whipping up some rotating baked goods to supplement our pastry case.”

The new food program is expected to be in operation later this week, but some baked good are . Shown above is a corn muffin with creme fraiche honey butter and fennel pollen that was available in the pastry case this past Saturday along with a milk bread morning bun with cheesecake filling and topped with cinnamon brown sugar.
