Siblings Winnette McIntosh Ambrose '98 and Timothy McIntosh '08 both graduated from MIT with degrees in chemical engineering (Course X). They own and operate The Sweet Lobby, a French-inspired patisserie in Washington, D.C.

The Sweet Lobby...didn't get its name from the interest groups that try to work their magic on politicians around the nation's capital...Instead, the name comes from the lobbies at [MIT] that showcase innovations and host events.

When asked how she first got into cooking, McIntosh Ambrose credited her husband, Ricardo Ambrose ’98, and their years at MIT. “He actually has been cooking since long before we met,” says McIntosh Ambrose. She and her husband, both from Trinidad and Tobago, met their first year at the Institute. “At MIT, he was the one who could cook and bake. So we started cooking together to survive the MIT cold.”
