This Valentine’s Day, Tyler Malek – head chef and co-founder of Portland’s Salt & Straw ice cream – is teaming up with chefs Mary Attea and Camari Mick of Michelin-starred The Musket Room in New York City for an unforgettable Valentine’s Day experience, highlighting a frozen element in every course of the meal for one-night only.

Called “the Willy Wonka of ice cream,” Tyler is known for pushing the boundaries of creativity, and to date has created over 1,500 unique flavors for Salt & Straw, with a chef-driven approach that prioritizes using the best organic and sustainable ingredients possible, working closely with local farmers and artisans. This collaboration with Musket Room’s Executive Chef Mary Attea and Executive Pastry Chef Camari Mick is a rare opportunity to experience Tyler stretching the boundaries of ice cream – in both classic and unexpected ways – making for an unforgettable date night this Valentine’s Day.
