Chef Carlos JuradoWhen Jurado had first arrived in the city after being born in Cali, Colombia, he was two years old. And like many immigrant children, he was a full-blown American by the time he returned to Colombia for the first time as a teenager, with a simultaneously deep emptiness and equally deep yearning to connect.
On one hand, his parents had provided him a life that was more stable than anything they could have produced in Cali and on the other, he had been disconnected from the people with whom he shared blood, land, and love. "Food has this way of evening the field of life," Jurado said. "And my pride for both sides of my life—my birthplace and the nation I call home... That pride is a way for me to help people find happiness. And I exert that pride through my food." (Borrowed from Brian Addison) |
