"That is his reality now at Joselito: Casa de Comidas, named for his late father, Jose Candón-Pérez. 'He was not in the restaurant business, but he was in finance so he taught me so much about how to run a business,' he says. '[Restaurants aren't] only about good food and good service.' 'My father died the week that we opened SER. I was able to see him and talk to him before he passed away, and he told me that he was very proud. I told him, 'The next restaurant that I open is going to be named after you.' The menu is a compilation of Jose's favorite foods. 'All the food that we serve here are recipes from my mother and my grandmother that they used to cook for my father,' Candón says.'Even if you are five thousand miles from Spain, when you enter Joselito, you feel like you are transported to Spain.' Candón's wife, Christiana Campos, designed the space—an elegant, two-tone dining room with black beadboard wainscoting, white marble tabletops, patterned tile and old photos of family looking over the guests." - Lani Furbank
