When Chris isn\\u2019t testing, tasting and tweaking, he can be found inspiring other bakers with his curated online content through his digital platforms and on-camera appearances. In fact, he can be seen on the last season of ABC\\u2019s \\u201cThe Great American Baking Show.\\u201d He and his husband married here in San Pedro in September 2017, and even purchased a home here in the community.
