Who or what inspires you to cook?

My heritage and the people I serve. My beginnings come from my mother, who was the most intuitive cook I have ever known. She developed a love for cooking that is still very much present. The people I serve give me the sense that what I do is well received and appreciated.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Lobster enchiladas or carne en su jugo. The two of them are a true specialty, and enjoy cooking them one as much as the other. As a favorite dish, I will lean towards the lobster enchiladas.

What would you do with the $25,000?

It’s been awhile since we have done a family trip. My wife and I are raising a 5 and a 6 year olds. They are the center of our lives, (our restaurant being the second) it will be amazing to be able to do a cruise ship with them as their first cruise. My wife will enjoy it so much. She deserves it, since she has the most challenging job between us.
