Vélez thinks of himself as a Brooklynite, but his father is Puerto Rican and his mother Dominican. After his parents divorced when he was 9, he would travel weekly between their homes. While the sancocho and mangú were plentiful at his mom’s, it was really his father who helped Vélez discover his passion for cooking.
After spending time in culinary school, she flew home to celebrate her father’s birthday.

That meal was all it took for her father to understand that his daughter’s cooking was more than just a hobby.
