The story of Nestor
Everybody my name is Nestor Eduardo Monge Jr. and I'm 16, I have a twin that looks nothing like me but we do have a lot in common. And I am the son of Dalila Davila and Nestor Eduardo Monge Sr. I remember why I was inspired to become a chef like it was yesterday. I was five and i went next door to my grandparents to eat some breakfast. It was a crazy breakfast because my grandfather had made me FIVE separate dishes that he wanted me to try. I took a bite of the first dish that he made me and I had to know his secrets. He took me into the kitchen and showed me the techniques that he used and the skills he portrayed inspired me. After the breakfast he taught me a little of the basics of cooking and told me of his dream, a dream to open up a restaurant. Unfortunately he wasn't able to complete his dream, may he rest in peace, and now I want to carry on his dream to make it come true just for him. I wont stop or give up on my goals, I will continue to fight through my hardships to make his dream come true and make him proud.

ReplyDeleteNestor, I will pray that your grandfathers dream comes true through you. Cooking should be all about family. There is just something so right about a family all in the kitchen working together. Never take your eye of the goal and you can make it happen, and let me know when it does, I will be one of the first to sit down and eat at your restaurant
