Catherine Sow doesn’t just cook chicken and rice – she’s made of it. Sow, who grew up “stupidly poor” in the South Bronx, remembers sitting in a one-bedroom apartment with her siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles, eating chicken and rice for lunch and chicken and rice for dinner, nearly every day. It was poverty food, but it was “so good,” said Sow. The dish, a version of arroz con pollo, is available to feed 10 hungry patrons every Sunday at Bushwick’s Sunrise/Sunset, where Sow works as a cook.
