R.I.P.: Carmen Rocha

Carmen worked as a waitress at El Cholo Mexican restaurant for almost 40 years. For special customers, Carmen made a recipe she learned in San Antonio. She would layer tortillas with shredded cheese and jalapenos, warming it in the oven. Soon, customers in the know started requesting Carmen's dish. It was later put on the menu.
Carmen passed away in Los Angeles on October 9th. She was 77 and she was responsible for bringing Nachos to the people of California.
