This was sent to me by my family who are into fine dining. I am an immigration lawyer and I have to wonder why Arturo was deported. He clearly is someone at the top of his game and there may have been ways to prevent his deportation. There may be some relief available to him to allow his return to the USA. If there is anyone out there who is close to Arturo and wants to talk about his situation, I am willing to take a look at case.

Great post. I love that kid. He was so much more than my sous. He was my best friend and the hardest working and best sous I think I will ever have. The nicest and sweetest guy you will ever meet. It still breaks my heart the way he was treated. Butters, I agree with you as well. He pushed me to be better and would end up being able to do things I taught him better than myself. Arturo you are a class act and Meghan and I love and miss you.

@Scott I don’t think he can in any legit way right now. It’s too bad, we miss him dearly.

cool, thanks Jeff! Awesome to read something about Arturo. Miss you Arturo! This dude was an awesome sous under Jack and pushed me so fucking hard to be better. I will never forget him and how much he helped to make me a better cook. He was always making sure I was tasting everything, getting on my shit for doing shit the same and right way, and basically riding my ass. And I thank him for it. These are the dudes in the industry that turn assholes like me into better assholes. I hope he is doing well and wish him the best. Arturo if you read this; thank you. I miss you man.
