Mohegan Sun and A.T.Y Hospitality celebrated the grand opening of Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons, presented by Grey Goose, with a special ribbon cutting ceremony on April 8. Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons are family-owned concepts created by Pastry Chef Adam Young and his wife, Ebbie, and both venues are located at the Winter Entrance in Casino of the Earth.
“Anyone who knows Adam [Young] knows he’s all about hospitality. He knows how to walk into a room and provide great guest service, whether it’s to a boardroom full of executives or to a guest visiting Sift. Adam is also an inspirational leader. He’s behind the line, baking and interacting with his team. His character and how he delivers as a leader fit perfectly with our brand,” said Jeff Hamilton, president and general manager at Mohegan Sun. “Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons are the next step in our immersive food & beverage strategy. Over the course of the last few years, we’ve been able to open more world-class dining establishments that have really transformed our property into a food & beverage destination.”
“Sift has grown significantly over the past 10 years and to be able to scale, you really have to be surrounded by people who buy into and understand your vision,” said Adam Young. “In our case, that includes the spirit of hospitality and being committed to the service of others, and that is something that I have found during my time working with Mohegan Sun. We certainly hope we bring a little delight to everyone, and we look forward to welcoming each and every one of our new guests.”
