I first met Joaquin at one of Church Alley Cafe's first popups in 2012. Our families became fast friends. I always loved hearing Joaquin's story of how he became a chef. He started the restaurant Upstairs at Mimi's (the space now called Anna's in the Marigny neighborhood) before Hurricane Katrina and then went to culinary school.

In this episode, we meander around discussing delicious food, his family, business, and pairing flavors in our kitchen. He gives us some tips on how to make delicious family meals at home.
