I loved watching the learning channels ... you know Discovery , TLC , Travel , Arts and Entertainment ... and I think it was “ A and E ” where they had the program “ Great Chef ’ s of the World ”. What a great show ?!! Not only would I learn one of my passions , which is COOKING … I would learn from all corners of the globe . I said to myself ...

JORGE L . HERNÁNDEZ
Title : News Anchor / Producer ssion : as I was born , and 4 years after that , my only sister was born . One day , my dad came back from work jubilant and happy . The company he worked for had decided to open an office in San Juan and , being the only person in the office that could speak Spanish , he was offered to manage and organize the new office . In 2 weeks we were in Puerto Rico , and the rest is history . We were a very happy family even in the tough times . My parents never wanted me to worry about anything , no matte how hard life was in “ el barrio Latino ” in New York . was taught that you should always be proud of yo roots , and to this day I quote a great composer a friend , Roy Brown , “ Yo sería borincano aunque naci en la Luna ” ( I would be Puerto Rican even if I w born on the Moon ).
