Mindy Segal’s career began when she dropped out of the University of Wisconsin, boarded a bus back to her hometown of Chicago, and enrolled in Kendall College to pursue her culinary passion. She refined her skills as a pastry chef in some of the most prestigious kitchens in the country, including Spago, Gordon, Charlie Trotter’s, Ambria, and MK.
In 2005, Mindy Segal opened Mindy’s HotChocolate restaurant in Chicago which grew in popularity to become one of Bucktown’s favorite restaurants for 15 years. In 2012, she was awarded the prestigious James Beard Foundation Award for “Outstanding Pastry Chef” after receiving 5 nominations in previous years. Mindy’s best-selling cookbook “Cookie Love’ was released in the spring of 2015 with a rave review.
Mindy continued to fulfill her passion for baking by opening HotChocolate Bakery in downtown Chicago’s Revival Food Hall in 2016. It opened to successful reviews and has been on all the “best bakery” lists in Chicago. She is now opening Mindy’s Bakery, which has premiered as a “pop-up” retail location in Bucktown and will later be seen as a supplier of her delicious baked goods in multiple other Chicago locations.
In 2016, Mindy partnered with Cresco Labs, Illinois’ largest cannabis cultivator. She is now the Creative Force behind Mindy’s Edibles, a line of artisanal edibles sold by Cresco across the country.
