New York Magazine: Aaron Sanchez

See more chef and recipes at video.nymag.com
The ad hoc Latin American food court at the Red Hook ball fields is one of New York's great cultural centers, a place where anyone can go to experience South and Central American home cooking. The ideal person to guide you through it is Aaron Sanchez, one of the city's top Latin chefs (Centrico, Paladar) and the author of La Comida Del Barrio: Latin-American Cooking in the USA. Aaron gave us an insider's tour. If this doesn't inspire you to get out to Red Hook this summer, consider the following: The permit for the ball fields, which has been given to the vendors for many years, will be opened up by the Parks Department for bids from all comers in the fall. That means this summer could be your last chance to taste some of the best Latin American food in the city.

Too all the haters, since when is a variation in Mexican food a bad thing anyway? Try telling that from someone who is from Durango and Chihuahua...not the same cuisine !!!! But non the less still delicious. You rock Chef. Go for it.

Look insecure dumb dumb, to the dirty idiot (leave the word Mexican out, don't insult my Mexican).  Mexican food varies through out Mexico so you can not say that your food is authentic just because you come from Chicago, L.A., or Texas. Aaron is from El Paso, Tx. and knows his food well. He took his expertise to New York and all over the world. With that said, try it before you judge.

mexican food on the eastcoast is not good. Chicago, los angeles, and texas have the best mexican food. please do not judge mexican food based on the food you eat in NYC.
