Chef Angel Crespo Backstory
“Although I always liked cooking, since my family had a restaurant in Cabo Rojo, my first job in a kitchen was as a dishwasher in the now-defunct La Casona de Serafín Restaurant. At that time there weren't many options for studying culinary arts so I packed myself with cookbooks and learned a lot from them. After working in different restaurants in the area, I had the opportunity to work in the best and most exclusive restaurant "El Estoril", where it was truly my great university. Then came to Mayagüez Puerto Rico my formal educational opportunity with Puerto Rico Tech Junior College, where I studied at night while working at "El Estoril”. I had a cafeteria of mine as well. With an unborn daughter, I told myself that I would dedicate myself to culinary arts for the rest of my life. It’s been 34 years and counting.” - Chef Ángel Crespo
