From corporate America to the kitchen, Chef Raul Rivera’s career has made quite the pivot. However, his new venture has him feeling more fulfilled than ever.
“So, I started interviewing people. I started asking a couple of people, 'How did you make these pasteles? How did you make this? How did you make that?'” he explained. “I had a very good friend of mine, her mom said, ‘Hey, let’s sit down. We’re going to go over how did I make these pasteles.’ So, for me it was having that experience with the older generation hands-on showing me how she did things.
It was Sept. 11, 2001. Rivera was working as the vice president of IT Operations for a small startup company that had recently taken a home in the World Trade Center tower. He was preparing to make a presentation that morning when the unthinkable happened. That’s when firefighters burst through the stairwell doors from the bottom and started running up the stairs toward the top. When they headed back down, it was a different site.
Once Rivera got out of the building, he said he ran down the street and was able to see the devastation in full view.
