If you're not dancing on a Mondy
morning, are you even living?
Chiquita's Alamo Catering Compay
lives big while they're cooking,
and we get to meet part of the .
Right now, I want to welcome Selena Rodriguez
and Santiago Trevino the Third.
Today we are making your signate
brisket tacos and flotas.
Yes, yes, yes.
I want to dance to this.
Selena, you love to cook, right?
Your grandmother taught you
everything you know.
But most of all, you love to see
people's reaction to your food.
Why is that? I love it because,
I mean, for me personally,
it's hard for me to find really good food,
but there's nothing like a home
cooked meal. I have to agree
with you. Definitely.
So, Santiago, you are the pitma.
You guys have a big crew.
You call yourself a brigade,
right? Brigade.
So tell me what the vision is wh
collaborating with these ladies,
your sister who's kind of
behind the scenes right now.
How do you come together
with your pitmaster vibes?
Your mom's your grandmother's
traditional recipes and
right now what we're doing so but the smoking
OK. Smoking meat.
Oh man kind of smell it already.
Pour chicken beef anything you .
OK. So what's the first step toy
and what we're making we're makg
the flat that's first or what yu
what you say we're going to make
the tacos the tacos first OK.
But the other warm everything
is smelling so delicious here.
Y'all so traditionally you guys cater
as a team and this these are soe
of the recipes that you would o.
Yes ma'am.
OK so. This
is the other warm, yes.
So here we have the thak was a brisket,
so it's a perfectly marinated,
slow cooked brisket.
Which one is the brisket?
So this is going to be the bris,
the bubbly deliciousness.
OK, may I stir it for y'all?
Yes. Yeah.
And prefer one of these for
me to use this one. This
has a little what goes into a good brisket?
You said smoking, but what else?
Love. Oh yeah, I like that.
Y'all, have you ever seen Brasket like this?
Oh, it looks so delicious.
I'm used to seeing it like the chunk,
you know? And then.
Oh yeah, shaving it off.
But this looks like
almost like a Gisavo. Yes,
ma'am. Y'all. It's very flavorf.
It's very soft and tender.
It like you can't get enough of.
OK, So top it off in there.
Yes, ma'am. So just try to get
as much juice as possible.
Like that of there.
Yeah, I know it's a little hard.
It is a little hard to kind
of bang it on the puddle
about the juice.
Something if you're all about
the juice, go ahead and put it.
And so why do you guys think
you come together so well?
You guys, I feel,
have the same vibe and vision
when it comes to food. For us personally,
it's because we all have our own
roles in in the company and we respect
each other's roles and we're all
held accounted for, you know? Y,
so you guys, you're able to help each other,
whether it's literally chopping
the cabbage, smoking the briske,
and you guys have fun while doit
their own little role. OK, so for now
I'm going to do 2 guys because you're
going to think I'm pigging out,
which I probably would, but what
else do you I put on these taco.
So we're going to have some cilantro,
some cabbage, if you like. Of course.
Is this something your grandma loved making?
Oh, yes, ma'am. Different types
of Santiago, for sure. Yes, in Santiago.
What is your favorite part about
being able to be a part of this team?
Communicating with people. Yeah.
I love the faces they make when
they take a bite out of it.
That is the best.
And then y'all smell so good.
And what else are you saying?
Some avocado radish.
Some avocado radish in the Taco on the side.
I like to put it in my Taco,
to be honest. That's like givint
a little crunchy layer there. M,
this looks so good. You know wh?
The number one thing that caughy
attention when I was talking to Y'all
is y'all like to dance is what we saw.
We keep saying if you're not mo.
You're doing something wrong.
Oh, yeah. So can you guys give s
the demonstration of what we wod
see when you guys are out and
about cooking for people? Let'so

but you guys make all sorts
of recipes with love.

So for the Platas, what kind oft
would that have been that becaue
what kind of you know? Enjoying
ourselves here, making these,
but Plata's is what kind
of meat is. It's going to be this one.
This is going to be the Colorado. OK,
so what's the difference there? Y'all
