At 20 years old Kelsey dropped out of college and left the deep South to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park New York. While in New York she fine-tuned her skills and learned the art of elevated food by working under Gavin Kaysen at Café Boulud and then in pastry at John Fraser’s Dovetail.
