Armando Tam is a local home cook who chose the path of pop-ups to pursue his passion for the intersection of food and culture. Armando (affectionately known as Tito) is of Chinese and Nicaraguan decent, and he has worked with the God Father of Nuevo Latino Cuisine, Douglas Rodriguez. His cooking will introduce you to the bold and traditional flavors of Latin America; his style is unique and personal, an admixture of his roots, his training, and the inspirations of his mentor.
In this month's Cielo Pop-Up, Armando will take you on a culinary journey of flavors from his youth, but with a twist.
