Who or what inspires you to cook?

Food at home has always been high that inspires and brings you back to the places and moments you treasure. I think what inspires me the most is that when people taste my food, they return to that moment they kept in their memory, to that little piece of happiness.

What's your all time favorite dish to make?

Creo qué hay dos platillos que amo hacer: la pizza de cochinita pibil, guisarla desde cero. Los huevos purgatorios, son mi platillo favorito a guisar, el aroma y el sabor de esa salsa es lo que más amo.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would reopen our restaurant with a small twist in our dishes, moving from the city to a place with a beach and doing something more summery.
