FATHER JOSE S. HERNANDEZ

I have always been amazed at all of the things my father has done throughout his life. As a child, he herded cattle; in his teenage years, he worked in orchard fields; while in his twenties, he enlisted in the Mexican Armed Forces and aided in the original construction of the Mexico City subway system. Later in his life, he immigrated to the United States and worked through many jobs in order to bring his family to this country. Despite all of these things, he still found time to become a great cook.

My father is the grill master of our family. He enjoys roasting and grilling large amounts of meats. His signature dish barbacoa is a great example of the types of dishes he likes to make. Summer outdoor dishes are his specialty. On a summer weekend, one can find him grilling in the backyard.
