Pulaski only worked at Sweetish Hill Bakery for a few years, but she s still milking it.
“My professional claim to fame is I was Sweetish Hill’s first employee. When I tell people that, it’s like the waters part. I have an amazing amount of street cred because of those three years, she says.
Pulaski was a recent UT graduate who was enough of a hippie to want to stay in Austin even though “there were no jobs except government.” She was friends with Jane Koock, a member of the family that owned Green Pastures, who knew Bauer-Slate.
“I called her up and we had a two-hour love conversation, Pulaski says. We were, like, in love after two hours. That’s how it started.”
