The Immigrant in the Kitchen

Record #:
28987
Abstract:
The growing population of Latinos and immigrants in North Carolina is evident in the food industry. However, immigrant cooks, such as Luis Ortega, are rarely acknowledged for their intelligence, creativity, and culinary talents. Ortega came to North Carolina for a better life, but returned to Mexico because he felt invisible as an immigrant cook and feared deportation.
