00:00We are super excited here in the city of New York, we have a guest of luxury, of gala,
00:10I don't know where the red carpet is, but I forgot, sorry.
00:14We are with Chiquis, how are you?
00:16Welcome.
00:17Happy to be here, I love New York, I love the whole city, so happy and happy to be
00:21here talking to you.
00:24We always do this by zoom, remote, but now you are here in person, we are super excited
00:29with this new show, Foodie on the Go, Latin Nation.
00:34I was watching some clips of the show, it's great, it opens your appetite, I can't deny it.
00:40Where does the idea for the show come from?
00:42Because I'm a good tooth, I've always had them since I was little, and I travel a lot,
00:46and last year we traveled a lot, thank God with my tour, Diamantes, and every time I
00:51went to a city, it didn't matter, I always looked at the TikTok or the hashtags and what
00:58I'm going to eat, and I went up and saw that it works for me a lot, that people really like
01:04to see me eat, I don't know why, I think because I don't care, I'm not the type of
01:08woman who, oh, I want to look pretty, I go in, and I said, you know what, I have my
01:15production house, I like to eat, I travel a lot, we have to make this a show, and that's
01:19how Foodie on the Go was born.
01:22There are five cities, six restaurants, you go to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami,
01:31and there you visit these food cathedrals, these institutions, and you try the most delicious.
01:37Let's see, how did you choose, where to go, what places to visit, and then what dishes to try?
01:44Social media, I say first, I feel like going to a place like this, a Chinese place, or
01:49a city where I have never been, like Asobe in California, where this dish comes from,
01:55which is called Spicy Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich, that is, it is a name, but delicious,
02:03so I say that I want to go where I have never been, or first that, and then we see on social media,
02:10and we have a team that I tell them, and thank God they do their research, and they already
02:13send me options, and I say, I want to go here.
02:16Tell me about the format, what do you do when you choose the city, the restaurant, and the dish that you are going to try?
02:22Because I think you also learned how to make some of those dishes, right?
02:26That's right, and a point that I forgot, right now I am also looking for places that are family owned,
02:33that are small businesses, and that is also extremely important.
02:39And yes, I started cooking, I am very hands-on, I like, not just eating, but I like the kitchen,
02:46and I feel that, you know, I do a good job, I have a good taste, and I also wanted to learn,
02:51I learned, in fact, how to make these dishes, I learned how to make the tiramisu, so yes,
02:56I get in, I get my hands dirty, I like, I do everything, I even wash dishes.
03:01And well, before finishing the interview, let's go back to a very important part that you mentioned,
03:05these restaurants that you visit with Foodie on the Go are not chains, they are not conglomerate corporations,
03:11there is no money behind, they are families, many of them are immigrants, why is this important to you?
03:19Because I know that especially after the pandemic, many restaurants suffered,
03:24and especially they opened, The Peasants Feast in Solvang, they opened during the pandemic,
03:29and they thought, let's close, and thank God, no, and thanks to that, and thanks to the people who supported,
03:35they are still open, and it is a family, it is a husband and a wife,
03:39and I like to know why behind the name, why and how, how they are so successful,
03:46and to help them, they help me, we all help each other, and well, that is one of my passions,
03:51and I feel that it is one of my missions in this world, is to help, so I say,
03:55well, if I can eat well, learn something and help, then perfect.
04:00Hey, and two more questions, one, a dish of the ones you tried,
04:06that after you learned how to do it, you have not stopped preparing, and why?
04:10And ...
04:15You have to make the Cuban sandwich, I tell you why, because I had not tried it before,
04:22I did not know how it was made, and I am not very much of eating this pork,
04:28but in that sandwich I loved it, because it has a lot of protein, it has cheese, it has mustard,
04:34everything that I like, and well, from there I said, it is easier for me to do it quickly,
04:38and it is delicious, and tostadito, no man, delicious, we went to Versailles,
04:42this Cuban restaurant, I was going to do it in Mexico, in Miami,
04:48and it is delicious from there, I said, it is easier for me, because it is fast and delicious.
04:52It is interesting to talk about that process, and we have already mentioned it,
04:57how you select the places, but also those jewels that they found in the show,
05:03and that some, I think that the people who live in certain cities do not know them, right?
05:07I live in California, and I did not know about Solvang, I did not know,
05:11and I did not know, what I was looking for, I said, I want a good sandwich,
05:15I want something so rich, hearty, that is fried, if I wanted something like,
05:19to make me the comfort food, as they say, right?
05:23And I told the team, I said, ok, google me, and someone told me about the team,
05:27he said, you know that there is a place that looks like this, as it is a very magical town,
05:32it looks like you are in Denmark, it is a Danish city, how do you say it in Spanish?
05:36Danesa, Danesa, thank you, Danesa, and it is so beautiful,
05:40and it was the only time I went, and it was important for me to go to that place,
05:44because of the history, but also because I, living there,
05:48I did not know, I said, I want more people to know about this place,
05:52because sometimes they say, I'm going to California, and I do not know where to go,
05:56well, in Furry on the Go you will see, because I also want to visit many places
06:00Well, that is another of the missions of the show, congratulations,
