Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Eddie Hernandez, is the Executive Chef of Taqueria del Sol, with locations in Georgia and Tennessee. A self-styled “born-again Southern boy,” he was nominated for a 2017 James Beard outstanding Restaurateur Award. His recipes have appeared in Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Southern Living and Garden & Gun. Look for him in the New York Times in the next few weeks. He came to the U.S. to play rock and roll with his band, has been mayor of a small Texas town and a member of the local fire brigade before returning to his first love, cooking.

Taqueria del Sol was named a top restaurant by Bon Appétit. “A run-away success,” raved USA Today. “You will wait in line, but the food is worth it,” said Martha Stewart who visited. “Turnip Greens and Tortillas” explores the commonalities of Southern and Mexican food.
