Working in kitchens all over America one of the benefits is being able to meet and work with so many different people from different nationalities. This best part about this is the food that we cook for family meal. People ask me all the time what are some of your favorite meals that you have had and of course I will answer with the same response that you would hear from most people who have eaten at French Laundry, Mini Bar or Charlie Trotters which were great meals and experiences but I truly feel that some of the best and most memorable meals have come from family meals in the kitchen that is not cooked for money but cooked for co workers with care and passion. Some of the simplest meals come out for family meal and they are often the best.
Candia who is from Guatemala cooked theses Grouper haunches which I got from Wayne that come from underneath the gills of the grouper and (The truth is the best parts of the fish is all the meat that is in the head like the cheeks and the haunches) Reina made the Salsa. Simple but a great meal after working all day.
