Peruvian Chef Chosen Best Chef Of The Year In Houston

Every time I hear someone from Peru is been successful and has won a competition or something like that, I feel proud. Not only because I'm from Peru, but because I know that there is a lot of people with great potential in Peru that haven't been discover yet. Roberto Castre was born in Pucallpa, Peru and has been living in the USA for 10 years now. He beats me for 2 years because I have been living in the USA for 8 years now. Anyways back to the story. Roberto's restaurant "Latin Bites," has turned into one of the best restaurants in Houston, Texas.  Over less than a year Roberto decided to open up his own restaurant in Houston. Since his arrival to the USA, 10 years ago, he had been working in the kitchen in various places, from then he had learned enough to take the next step in opening up his own restaurant. "Latin Bites Cafe," is the name he chose, a place of peruvian cuisine and latin fusion. "The opening month we were chosen the best restaurant in Houston for the month, and the second month we were between the 5 best new restaurants in Houston," Roberto said in a phone interview with a peruvian newspaper. The growth of the restaurant was going great, and what Roberto never imagined happened. He was chosen "best chef of 2011 by the Eater Awards." Im going to conclude the story there, and talk about what I think. I think that Roberto was so brave in taking a chance and opening up his own restaurant. Sometimes people need to take risks if they want to succeed in life. Another thing is that you have to work very hard to achieve your goals because nothing is going to come easy. This story made me realize that hard work always pays off.
