Homegrown Foodways Film Premiere: El Camino del Pan a Baltimore

Abstract

Originally from Huaquechula, Mexico, Jos� continued his family抯 baking tradition upon arriving in Baltimore. His journey began in Mexico, where he worked in his grandparents� bakery. That work eventually evolved into selling bread from a pushcart in Baltimore抯 Patterson Park. He later established his first brick-and-mortar bakery in Greektown, amidst a declining and dubious Greek immigrant community. With the support of family and friends, Jos閽s vision expanded into a four-business enterprise that includes a bakery, taqueria, bar, and a restaurant.
