READING
I love my job!
Lucas García is a chef in a restaurant in Mexico City. He talks about his job.
I work at Gabriela’s, which is one of the most popular restaurants in Mexico City. The best part
of working there is being part of a fantastic team of friendly and talented people.
I started by washing dishes when I was only 16. I wasn’t interested in food, and I never cooked
at home, but I worked hard, and soon became a waiter. Victor, who was head chef at the time,
began to show me how to cook, and I loved it so much I went to college to learn more.
When Victor left Gabriela’s, I became head chef. At the time all, the food was Mexican. The
quality was excellent, but I wanted to do something different, so I decided to have an
international menu. Now we serve food from all around the world. There are so many fantastic
markets and grocery stores in the city, so I can usually find any ingredient I need.
I use a lot of natural ingredients such as brown rice, organic flour, and pasta. Some people think
that healthy food is boring, but they’re wrong. Well-prepared natural food has so much more
flavor than fast food. Our food is healthy and our customers love it. We use the best meat and
the highest quality vegetables.
Gabriela’s is open Monday to Friday from 5:00 p.m.to 11:00 p.m., and from 12:30 p.m.to 11:00
p.m. on the weekends. On Fridays and Saturdays, we play live music from around the world.
There is a children’s menu on Sundays, and that’s also when we serve traditional Mexican food.
