The other morning, we had the wonderful opportunity to film in the kitchen of Astoria Pastry Shop in Greektown Detroit. Astoria was founded by Tasso Teftsis' mom back in 1971 and features a variety of traditional Greek desserts. 53 years later, the pastry shop, with over 100 fine pastries, is busier than ever. The talented team of bakers and pastry chefs have been creating delicious masterpieces for 15 plus years each, together making up over 100 years of service with the company. Tasso's interview helped remind us of the significant role the Greek community plays on our culinary heritage here in Michigan. After filming, we dined at the Golden Fleece Restaurant next door. You will see a wonderful display of traditional Greek specialties in our film.
