Chef Hugo Ortega is a James Beard Award Winning Chef, and the chef-owner of four highly rated restaurants in Houston : Hugo's, Backstreet Cafe, Xochi and Caracol. In Hawaii, he has collaborated with Michael Mina on The Street, where his authentic Mexican food is adapted to feature local Hawaii ingredients in Mi Almita Cantina. He chatted with Jo about his background in Mexico, his journey from dishwasher to celebrated chef... and of course, his grandmother's cooking and her ability to make something spectacular out of nothing.
