Nathan Sivitz

Nathan Sivitz is executive chef of Macaron Bar, a bakery specializing in French macarons and macaron baking classes. He founded the business in 2014 in his hometown, Cincinnati, along with his husband, Patrick Moloughney, and partner Mark Santanello. Now they have eight locations in six cities, including Indianapolis and Chicago, and ship nationwide. From the start, every bakery has offered classes. "We knew people were interested in learning, and it's a fantastic opportunity to connect with our communities," Sivitz says. "People come out of the classes saying, 'I think I can do this.' And that's what we like to hear."
