"Gabe and I were talking, and he's working on a book with Ignacio and I was saying 'have you guys been down to Uruguay recently?' and he had never been and so I forced him to go and it all worked out really well!" [2:15] --Adam Sachs on Native "Our background is pretty much Spanish and Italian; it's a mix of a few other things but the food there is pretty much Italians and Spanish immigrants' food that they translate in their own way."
