Fast Casual: Famous Toastery Hires Celebrity Chef to Lead Culinary Team

The 25 plus unit fast-casual brand, Famous Toastery, has hired Jennifer Brulé, celebrity chef and nationally published food writer, as its Chief Culinary Officer.

"I lived in Europe from 2003 to 2010, and that greatly influenced how I cook and see food," Brulé said in a company press release.
