The Traditions of Día de los Muertos Nourish the Living, Too
"In 2022 F&W Best New Chef Ana Castro’s family, Día de Muertos is serious business. The person that Castro is most excited to welcome back is her grandfather Manuel Castro Fernandez, who she credits for instilling in her a reverence for tradition, a generous spirit, and above all, a love of food. What he enjoyed most was a plate of arroz a la Mexicana topped with a fried egg. He loved it so much that Castro put a version of it — albeit a much more elevated version with bottarga — on the opening menu of her first restaurant, Lengua Madre, in his honor." - Sam Gutierrez
