Well, you know, for me, I think Spanish food is festive.

There a great ethnic cuisine available to you in Chicago.

I studied cooking in Spain after college.

My family came from Ecuador.

I think that a lot of us at home are iron chefs in their own right in that we have to come up with meals real quickly.

Chicago is a lot of my background as a chef.

From the time I was 8 until now, I've been working. My Social Security is looking solid.
