Cosme Aguilar: Executive Chef and Owner of Casa Enrique

Cosme Aguilar

"I didn't think it was going to work, opening a restaurant in Long Island City.  It was completely empty.  There were only two buildings here at that time.  This was about 14 years ago, back in 2002.  But I was wrong."

I think we need more people and more good restaurants. That's something I want to see happening.  I think it's only going to get better.
