content: Chef and author Sandra Gutiérrez’s cast-iron skillet carries the logo for Cracker Barrel, a restaurant chain known for its homestyle Southern cooking. According to Gutiérrez, “Every Southern chef needs a cast-iron skillet and biscuit cutter.” Along with a tortilla press, Gutiérrez uses these essential kitchen tools to serve up Southern-Latino cuisine, a fusion of foods and flavors stemming from the late twentieth-century growth of the Latinx population in the southeastern United States. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Guatemala City, Gutiérrez blends ingredients, traditions, and cooking techniques that tell stories of American migration in her cookbook, The New Southern Latino Table. Along with her biscuit cutters (2017.14.2a-c) and tortilla press (2017.14.3), Gutiérrez’s cast-iron skillet was on display at the Anacostia Community Museum’s exhibition, Gateways/Portales, from December 2016 to January 2018.

content: La sartén de hierro fundido de la chef y autora Sandra Gutiérrez lleva el logotipo de Cracker Barrel, una cadena de restaurantes conocida por su cocina sureña casera. Según Gutiérrez, "todo chef sureño necesita una sartén de hierro fundido y un cortador de galletas". Junto con la prensa para tortillas, Gutiérrez utiliza estos utensilios de cocina esenciales para servir comida sureña-latina, una fusión de alimentos y sabores derivada del crecimiento de la población latina en el sureste de Estados Unidos a finales del siglo XX. Nacida en Filadelfia y criada en la Ciudad de Guatemala, Gutiérrez combina ingredientes, tradiciones y técnicas culinarias que cuentan historias de la migración estadounidense en su libro de cocina, The New Southern Latino Table.
