Stepping in front of the camera is new for me, but telling stories isn’t. Now that I’ve started getting out in front of my own camera, I can say what I really want to say to everyone on the internet. And what I have chosen to say is this: I love Mexican food.

Whenever I return to my home in Ridgewood, from whatever far-flung locales I have schemed my way into producing a show in, I take a stroll beneath the Myrtle Wyckoff M train line and pop a left onto Gates Avenue  for some Newyorktitlan. You know how Eric Ripert eats a piece of gruyere before every shift to acclimate his palate at Le Bernardin? (No? Just me then.) That’s how I am with Mexican food and Bushwick. I take that first bite and I am ready to face this city once again.
