Chef Rosie Cooks for President Vincente Fox

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Chef Rosie O’Connor is a native Californian, carries the spirit of Mexico in her heart. The culinary expert was recently part of an expedition to Mexico, hosted by Chef Latinos, an organization directed by Antonio Alcarez.

The Chef Latinos Guanajuato Festival Gastronomico was held in the home of the former president, Vicente Fox’s hometown, Hacienda San Cristóbal de León in Guanajuato, Mexico. The event featured 18 chefs from across Latin America and California and included Chef Rosie O’Connor, the executive chef, and operator of Sun City’s Provecho Grill.

Chef Rosie had always dreamed of cooking for a president and finally realized that achievement at the November 9th event hosted by Chefs Latinos.

After being asked to prepare a special dish for former President Vincente Fox, Chef Rosie decided on a shrimp soup prepared in the regional style of Tuxpan, Veracruz.

After tasting the dish, Former President Fox complimented Chef Rosie on her dedication to her craft, stating, “Your father would be proud,” and “Though you live in California, your heart is from Mexico.”

Shrimp Soup from Tuxpan, Veracruz

When asked about her choice of which dish she prepared for the president, Chef Rosie is quoted as saying:

“I wanted to make a dish that represented a region in Mexico and put my spin on it. I am an American born chef who specializes in Mexican cuisine. I wanted to honor him by making something different than a mole or something general. I made a typical shrimp soup from Tuxpan, Veracruz. I made the base with honda shi & guajillo chile and topped it with Tobiko (flying fish eggs) tortilla chips, & pozole. I poured my heart into that dish. I made it a few times at my restaurant before making it for him.”
