About the Job
40s Latin chef-owner of Terre del Sapore, equal parts hustler, dad, and firefighter—running a drowning restaurant and a drowning family budget. Loves food and his crew but is under brutal financial pressure; he wants to believe in Dimitri and in “art,” but he also has 12 weeks before he loses the place. Calm authority in the kitchen, quietly terrified in the office. Specs: 38–50, Latino (ideally Cuban/Latin American, rooted in Miami), bilingual English–Spanish, moves naturally between both, charismatic and paternal, able to go from joking to brutally honest in one breath, and feels like someone who’s done 20 years on the line.
