The Latin Flavor Exploration Chef Interview Series is a part of a larger initiative, Sabor In America — created by Symrise's Marketing and Consumer Insights team — which focuses on the impact of Latinos and Latino culture on mainstream America. The series was also designed to celebrate and further our understanding of the cultural diversity that makes up almost 1/4 of the U.S. population. And as with any of our exclusive interviews, our goal is to find out what drives food and beverage professionals from around the U.S., what new flavors they're working with, and how they innovate in their kitchens and bars. By citing all that is informative and inspiring, we hope to guide you in your own culinary and mixology innovations!
