Chef Carlos Llaguno Morales

It was announced this evening that Chef Carlos Llaguno Morales has passed away at 38.

Who is Carlos Llaguno Morales? He was the executive chef at NY Les Halles. Some of us were introduced to Carlos on multiple episodes of Anthony Bourdains "No Reservations". He came to the states from Mexico in 1994 with no culinary experience and over the years moved up the ranks. It is inevitable that he ended in a good place when you work under Bourdain over the years.

So tonight we here at FoodXcore want to pay our condolences to the friends, family and collegues on the passing of a chef who earned his part of the American dream.

I believe anyone who works in rhe kitchen can learn a lot from guys like Chef Carlos.

Yeah I know, it has been a few weeks!!

So my pork belly is cured.....I will be posting some pictures later in the week with ideas on what to do with.

So today I remembered that the new book connected to David Chang's MOMOFUKU is getting ready to come out called "Milk Bar". The "Milk Bar" is a sweets restaurant and there are three locations in Ney York (east village, Brooklyn and midtown). For Christmas last year the wife and kids gave me book "MOMOFUKU" (which is the noodle restaurant). "Milk Bar" comes out this week and you can order it on Amazon or get to your local bookseller.

Momofuku Milk Bar Avail. Oct.25

You may be asking why am I talking about David Chang or "Milk Bar"? This is why....Today I was looking at the website for "MILK BAR and was really excited to find out that some of the items that are on the menu you can order and have sent to your home!! My next payday I will be ordering some goodies from the MOMOFUKU website.

Listen, I am still trying to work the kinks out of the blog...so be patient. Thanks!
