SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Puerto Rico’s most celebrated chef, James Beard Award honoree Jose Enrique, cooked for the closing gala dinner and fundraiser at the Beet Retreat last Thursday evening at the 400-year-old Spanish fort, Castillo San Cristobal.
The chef, who owns his namesake restaurants in San Juan and at the St. Regis resort in Rio Grande, was lauded by Bon Appetite magazine as the Man Behind the Puerto Rico’s Local Food Scene.
As he was prepping the dinner, Beet.TV interviewed him about his approach to cooking in Puerto Rico. You can find the evening’s menu here (Yes, he included beets.)
