"I learned that Ana Castro put a version of arroz a la Mexicana (an elevated take with bottarga) on the opening menu of her restaurant, Lengua Madre, to honor her grandfather Manuel Castro Fernandez; she says you can add frozen peas, carrots, or corn if you like, but don’t skip the fried egg — it binds the entire dish and turns an everyday plate into something completely different." - Sam Gutierrez
