IN THE KITCHEN
For Chef Francisco,
the secret ingredient
is making sure all of
the ingredients are
as fresh and creative
as his ideas.
“When people come to eat here, they tell their friends about
it, and I love that the word of mouth brings people in and
they all get to try the food.”
For Chef Francisco, the fresh and creative fare served at
Zest is a family affair.
“My mom and family help with the cooking and I get to
work with family and friends,” he says. “Everyone having
fun working together just sparks my creativity to mix things
up even more.”
Ajiataz feels like he is truly living his American dream.
“I never dreamed I would be doing this; it is so
much fun.” E
