Chef Carlos Gaytán – After many years of hard work in the U.S., Gaytán’s restaurant received a Michelin star, making him the first Mexican chef to acheive this honor.
In the kitchen, the competing families will have to do everything in their power to present their meals in a way that is worthy of their culture and traditions.
