What role did food play when you were growing up as someone who is part Chinese and part Latina?

My Chinese great-grandfather and grandfather were big Chicago restaurateurs, my Puerto
Rican grandmother was an amazing cook and my mom’s second husband was a French chef
so food was always a big part of our lives. I loved eating and cooking and reading about food so
when I got into journalism, I was thrilled to be able to pursue my interests as a reporter.
