enjoying the delicious meals that his grandmother prepared for him. He longed to learn how to make his own

cuisine at that time, the women in his family were the only ones that were allowed to cook. Nonetheless, at a

young age, Chef Jose was drawn to the kitchen. He eventually moved to the United states with his siblings and become

their guardian. Finally, he had the kitchen all to himself. He began putting his own twist on classic dishes and

created delicious masterpieces. Before he knew it, the word got around and his home became a gathering place

where peers in the neighborhood would congregate and enjoy his meals.

The fun gatherings eventually came to an end. Chef Jose had fallen on hard times and subsequently

transitioned into a homeless shelter with his siblings. He accepted a position as a dishwasher at Saloon Restaurant

to make ends meet. The chefs that were there, mentored him. He learned three months’ worth of training in two

weeks and transitioned from a dishwasher to one of the head chefs at Saloon Restaurant. Soon after he enrolled at Atlantic technical college where he meant a group of chefs that mentor him.
