Today would be my co-founder and boss, Marilyn Tausend’s 88th birthday.

Thinking of her today and reflecting on the unexpected, unplanned, giant network she helped create within the culinary world.

Thanks to an unprecedented and triumphant lawsuit against an American institution, won by Marilyn’s husband Fredric C. Tausend for my parents; they brought Fred to Mexico, Fred brought Marilyn and, here we are today. In memoriam, a tu salud Marilyn.
