Hola mi gente, welcome to the  “The Aguacate Chronicles”, I’m your host Giraldo Luis Alvaré. Gracias for listening.

We took a little break to get that exclusive content at NYCC. It was everything and more. I even made the news thanks to the good people at CBS. 

Pa’lante shoutout to Jusscope for the access and to all the amazing people I interviewed and connected with. Stay tuned for that fresh content. Now lets get into the second half the Aguacate Chronicles. 

Last episode, aguacate, flan y platanos came back with a vengeance. Team arroz brought the black beans, bananas and vienna sausages to complete the takeover. Plenty of options to pick from to calm them hunger pains.

Up next on the menu we got ceviche, chili, mango salad, pineapple, cornbread, bistec de palomilla and fish making their first appearance on the show. Aguacate, platanos maduro, verde, arroz, tostones, breaded steak and frijoles negros returned making us even more hungrier than ever. 

These delicious foods get highlighted on audio clips featuring Founder of the Official Latino Film Festival, Creative Director, Photographer, Filmmaker; Danny Hastings, Master Blender of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey, Victoria Eady Butler, and Former CEO and current Board of Director for Vicky Bakery, Alex Santiago.

So cojelo con take it easy. There’s enough to go around. Buen provecho. Enjoy the show.
