Sef Gonzalez
What is your Profession ? Food Blogger & Event Curator Your Pais : 1st Generation American , my parents are Cuban . Hometown : Westchester , Florida
Latin Times : How did you get started in your career ? Sef Gonzalez : After fifteen years in retail management I was burned out . One day I was just stressed out over the whole thing and my wife Marcela suggested I write a blog about my favorite Burgers in Miami . She also suggested the name and so the Burger Beast blog was born .
Latin Times : What do you enjoy most about you what you do ? Sef Gonzalez : It ’ s a great feeling to be able connect folks to their new “ Favorite ” restaurants & food trucks . When I get a Tweet , Facebook comment or Email thanking me for suggesting a particular joint , it makes me feel great . And helping to get the word about some great local mom & pop shop is great too . Remember to # EatLocal
Latin Times : What is in the future for your Food Truck events ? Sef Gonzalez : I can ’ t reveal my secrets about the Food Truck Events but I have a new found focus on Food Events that feature restaurants like my recent Frita Showdown , and the upcoming South Beach Wine & Food Festival event Medianoches & Martinis which I ’ m curating .
Latin Times : Tell us about your family Sef Gonzalez : I grew up with my maternal Grandparents ( Gollo & Maruca ), my Mom ( Cary ), Dad ( Serafin ) and younger sister ( Michelle ). A typical Cuban in Miami upbringing ala the classic show ¿ Que Pasa USA ?. We used to sit together at the dining room table as a family every night , enjoy dinner and one another ’ s company . My late grandparents were very supportive of
whatever I threw myself into whether it was learning Guitar in my teens to my little independent film store in the heart of our neighborhood , Westchester . Both of them were not around to see the great success of the Burger Beast blog unfortunately . And .... although she prefer I never speak of her , my wife is an integral and important part of the success I have received . It was her idea after all .
Latin Times : Who is a hero / role model that you admire ( Living or deceased ) and why do you admire them ? Sef Gonzalez : My late Grandfather was the voice & palate of my family . He had Cafe con Leche & Tostadas for breakfast every day . He loved Caldo Gallego and Pastelitos de Carne . He always knew where the best spots were , which kept us driving all around town to eat from restaurants he had “ heard ” about . It was always Thursday night cause that was my Mom ’ s half day at work . I can still hear his voice when I eat at some those places today like Rio Cristal where we shared many meals as a family . Man , I miss that dude .
