The story you are about to read takes place in a kitchen: any kitchen, every kitchen.

From taco joints, beef stands and breakfast cafés, to the Walnut Room and eventually landing at a Chicago culinary school, Paul Zavala has probably cooked something for you over the past decade. Zavala has been traipsing through the innards of the food industry since before he could drive.

Yuanl Larrondo, 31, comes up from his home basement holding jars, pots and stone sculptures. As he lays them on the wooden floors, he moves them around and goes back downstairs for more. His wife Rosie, 43, joins him and helps situate them on the floor. There are even more in the basement. Some of them are covered with decorative cloths. These are orishas, saints in the santería religion, which Larrondo, a babalao or high priest, uses in his practice and consultations with his clients.

“Brooklyn’s Finest” is being celebrated by some peers as the long-awaited return of Wesley Snipes to the big screen, as if he were some sort of bad-ass messiah. Don’t get me wrong: Wesley Snipes is a damn good actor, the pluses in his career overcoming the minuses. Problem is that there is not enough Snipes in this messed-up, chaotic concoction about three Brooklyn cops who are anything but “fine” officers of the law. And this film could have used with more of the Wesley Snipes tough-guy persona and less of the contrived melodrama this film throws at the audience.

His Daily Grind

José López-Acevedo could make a good cup of coffee with his eyes closed: intrinsically roasting coffee beans, grabbing the cup and filling it to perfection. “If the barista doesn’t know what they’re doing, then they will ruin your cup of coffee…Every stage, from seed to drink affects how your coffee tastes,” he says.
