Veracruz, Mexico native chef Karla Hoyos made an impression on José Andrés when took time from her job in Indiana to volunteer with World Central Kitchen in Puerto Rico, where the organization was feeding victims of Hurricane Maria. Not long after she was back at her job in Indiana, she was being recruited to join the team at The Bazaar in Miami Beach. What she’d told herself would be a two-year stint in South Florida has gone on considerably longer, and she’s preparing to put down roots in Miami with her own restaurant, Tacotomía.
In this conversation with Michael Beltran, Karla talks about why she fell in love with food in her childhood in Mexico, the highs and lows of moving to the United States from Mexico, her relationship with José Andrés, and her plans for Tacotomía to be a place where she can put diners in touch with the feeling she gets preparing and eating food with her grandmother.
