Born in the Dominican Republic, Chef Anderson was inspired by his grandmother’s cooking. At the age of nine, Chef Anderson and his parents migrated to the United States in the hopes for the American Dream. At the age of 19 he moved to East Rochester with his uncle who was the executive chef of an Italian restaurant called Pasghettis. Working under his uncle, Chef Anderson exceeded all expectations and within a year became the executive chef of said restaurant. At the age of 21, Chef Anderson moved back to New York and worked at Calandras Mediterranean grill. After several years in the corporate industry, Chef Anderson decided to return to the love of gastronomy. In January 2018, Mamá Luisa Catering was established in honor of his grandmother, Luisa, as she was pivotal in his early learning of cooking. Mamá Luisa initially provided services for corporate and private events, then launched their meal prep service in the tri-state area of New York. In 2019, Chef Anderson enrolled at the Institute of Culinary Education where he received the Top Toque Award for his class. The Top Toque is the award chosen by the faculty to honor the highest academic achievement. In 2022, Chef Anderson relocated to the Midlothian area to launch his private dining experiences to provide his new clientele with Latin fusion cuisines. Soon to come will be the Latin Fusion Food Truck in Summer 2022!See more
