In today’s episode of ‘Our Portuguese Table’, we chat with Luis Lourenço, formerly of Bacalhau Grill & Trade Rite Market https://www.facebook.com/thebacalhaugrill/ in San Jose, California. Luis worked for the original owners of Bacalhau Grill as a teenager before working at Safeway and then eventually taking over the market. Luis began serving bacalhau tacos (inspired by Bacalhau à Gomes de Sá) which became well-known across the Bay Area, in California. 

He had the opportunity to spend more time in Terceira and jumped at it. He currently operates Louie’s Place in São Bartolomeu, Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira: https://www.facebook.com/Louies-Place-Restaurant-Cafe-1348923001863533/. Stop by when you’re in the neighborhood and tell him Angela & Maria sent you!

Catching up with The Portuguese Kids

In this episode, Maria and Angela just spend time catching up and bitch about dealing with the COVID-19 quarantine. Join in on the laughs and let us know what you think!

Angela and Maria Bitch About Quarantine

This is a unique episode in that our guest is Dr. Darlene Sousa and we talk about some of the more "taboo" topics in our community such as some of the anxiety and worry that plagues so many in our community, but we never talk about it.  This is the first of many episodes where we talk about some of the social and relationship challenges we face.  

If you'd like to reach out to Dr. Sousa, you can reach her at:
