Immigrant chef outlines plan for Hispanic food stall in South Burlington mall
Summary
A professional chef from Ecuador described opening and running a Hispanic food business in a South Burlington mall, saying they have worked in the area for nine years and will prepare fresh, culturally rooted dishes to serve Latinx residents and wider customers.
A professional chef who said they are originally from Ecuador described plans to operate a Hispanic food stall in a South Burlington mall and emphasized their experience running restaurant operations in the area for nine years. “Llegué a este lugar a trabajar hace 9 años,” the chef said, noting the previous Italian owners closed the business and they saw an opportunity to continue the operation with a new menu.
The speaker said they wanted to bring more Hispanic options to Vermont because “no hay mucha comida hispana para gente latina” and to share cultural cuisine with the broader community. They identified themselves as a professional chef with knowledge of kitchen temperatures and contamination prevention, and said they prepares products fresh daily to offer a “producto de calidad” and to create a welcoming Latino presence in the mall. The speaker said their hope is to keep the business running for many years and that customers leave satisfied.
