Life has taught each one of these underprivileged, young parents who aspire to be chefs to fight for what they want and try to do their best for their children. Now, the time has come to show what they're willing to do to take it one step further.

One of the instructors from Mission Chef explains what cooking means to him as well as the discipline required to cook professionally.

Stripped of all their adornments, the Mission Chef participants are ready to be evaluated by a professional chef.

The contestants are divided into groups of three to begin the task of preparing a dish to be graded by their mentors.

The cooking is underway in this Misión Chef competition and team members are already getting in trouble for not sticking to their portion of the meal.

Now comes the moment of truth: The Mission Chef students have prepared their dishes and their instructor will evaluate them with brutal honesty. Who will make the final team?

Venezuelan rock/pop group, Mochuelo, won the prestigious 2005 "Festival Nuevas Bandas" [New Band Festival], an important Latin American music industry event. This time, they delight us with their “pandemic version” of one of their most famous songs: "La caja" [The Box].

Moenia may be considered one of the first modern, successful, experimental Mexican groups, finding commercial viability in a market normally dominated by old-style Latin crooners, Ranchera and Cumbia. Heavily influenced by ‘80s bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, Moenia surged in ‘92 but fell out of public favor in the mid ‘90s when a key member quit. More recently, the reunited band has won over new fans with songs infused with ‘80s-style electronica.

This politically charged tune, rife with language that will get you sent to the principal’s office on at least three continents, won the Latin Grammy award for best video in 2003. Note that native speakers instantly recognize that much of the Spanish is sung in an exaggerated “gringo” accent, so you may not want to imitate it!!

Molotov brings us another inspired video that doubles as a lesson in modern Mexico: PAN, PRI, PRD, and el bono sexenal! By the way, do you know why Rudy Giuliani’s image appears so often in Molotov videos?

Feeling like you aren’t yourself lately? Perhaps even get the idea you are no longer of this world? Molotov knows all about this feeling and have hired a team of scientists to create a special dance to go along with it!
