Soft-shell crab for me was like, holy cow, soft-shell crabs are amazing. A whole crab that you can eat like a seal that is soft. Oh, my God. Those moments I remember like it was yesterday.

Even I'm not an immigrant. I'm just a soldier, a Navy guy visiting America. I became an immigrant later. And that night I'm watching the American flag before we go to shore. I'm looking at the stars, same stars we were talking before. I'm looking at American flag. I'm looking at the stars, the dark blue color, the white stars.

But 30 years later, I opened Mercado Little Spain, which was bringing a bigger piece of Spain to New York, to Manhattan. 200 meters away from the same place I arrived in New York for the first time 30 years before.
