724: A Rising Star Chef, 20 Years in the Making, with Corima’s Fidel Caballero

Fidel Caballero is the chef-owner of Corima in New York City, a progressive Mexican restaurant located in Chinatown with one Michelin star. Fidel is also behind the hit burrito shop and bakery Vato, which has become the talk of brownstone Brooklyn and well beyond. In this episode, Fidel shares his journey from Mexico and El Paso to China, the Basque region, and finally New York City. Fidel is a rising star, 20 years in the making, and it was great to hear his story.

And before that Matt recaps recent visits to Santi, Cove, and Samwoojong, all in New York City.
