Denver’s Drag Queen Pie Delivery in Denver is DELICIOUS

 Meet Chocolatina // Chef Martin

Hi Martin!  Can you tell us your story leading up to owning “The Pie Queen”?

From New York to Florida and back again.  The next stop in Chef Martin’s career was working with Waldy Malouf at La Cremaillere in Banksville, NY. Waldy guided Martin in creating restaurant desserts to dazzle the celebrity clientele. Feeling the need to try something completely different, in 1989, Martin took the pastry chef position at Pier House Inn and Beach Club in Key West, Florida.

One year later, he returned to New York to open Hudson River Club with Waldy at the World Financial Center in downtown Manhattan. In 1997 Martin became the executive pastry chef at the Rainbow Room atop 30 Rockefeller Plaza, making desserts for all their high-profile outlets.

Next time you see him, ask about his adventures at the Rainbow Room!

We love that your name “Chocolatina, Queen of the Dessert” mirrors the classic film “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert”.  How did your Drag Journey begin? 

In the spring of 2009, Martin took a break from the restaurant industry to focus on his drag persona Chocolatina, Queen of the Dessert. This led to being crowned the very first “Miss Stonewall” in 2009 and hosting many nights at the legendary venue.

Nowadays, Martin enjoys his newly-adopted city of Denver after living in New York City for 25+ years. He currently works as a Pastry Chef at one of America’s leading catering companies, Epicurean Group. When not making pies or singing Broadway musicals for fun, The Pie Queen enjoys volleyball, skiing, Jeopardy and The Game Show Network… and of course a few stiff cocktails.
