Some cuisines don't just feed the body, they carry entire cultures, stories of migration, resilience, and innovation that are reshaping how the world eats. On this week's Culinary Confidential, Christina Cates sits down with Joe Cordero of Rosa: Agave & Wine Lounge in Tribeca to explore the vibrant world that is Latin cuisine.
From the soulful kitchens of Mexico and Peru to its growing influence on fine dining and modern menus, Joe shares insights on how Latin flavors, techniques, and traditions are becoming a powerful force of identity, legacy, and creativity in the restaurant industry.
Together they explore the deep history and cultural roots of Latin cuisine, how Mexican and Peruvian flavors are transforming fine dining, resilience, innovation, the stories ingredients tell, and the challenges and triumphs for today's Latin hospitality professionals.
Because some cuisines aren't just eaten, they're lived.
