There are moments when you see someone succeed and do well, and then there is something else entirely. The journey of a chef is a long, arduous one. Coming from varied backgrounds and places, no two stories are ever the same, but there is a common factor, and that is memory. Some defining moment that imprints on a chef, and they chase, sometimes, forever. In the case of my friend, Chef Alan Sanz, his journey has landed him at a place he can - in my opinion - not call home but is home: Enter Maizano. The upscale Mexican restaurant located within the behemoth that is Mercado Gonzalez is the embodiment of Chef's life, travels, and experiences all brought to life, and is a love letter to the beautiful cuisine, culture, and country that is Mexico.
Enjoy.
