Jorge Gaviria Interviewed by Nancy Zaslavsky, “Vitamina T: Your Daily Dose of Mexican Street Foods”  

 

Even if you haven’t heard of Vitamina T, you’ve probably enjoyed it. The tongue-in-cheek Mexican food group celebrates the spirit of antojitos, Mexican street food snacks. For the launch of VITAMINA T: Your Daily Dose of Tacos, Tortas, Tamales and More Mexican Street Food at CHSC, Gaviria takes us on a journey through the streets of Mexico to show us how we can capture some of the magic of this cuisine in our home kitchens. 

Jorge Gaviria is the James Beard Award-winning founder of Masienda and the bestselling author of MASA: Techniques, Recipes, and Reflections on a Timeless Staple. He trained at top restaurants like Danny Meyer's Maialino and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Prior to founding Masienda, he was a pig herder, educator and line cook. He lives in Los Angeles.
