Pictures and interviews by Molly Stenhouse. It’s almost barbeque season. Do you have any special barbecue traditions? “ There is a lot of mixing in our family, so when we barbeque we have Puerto Rican, Cuban and Dominican food. My mom makes Spanish rice.” Latoya Davis, Mountain View “ My family doesn’t eat meat, but we like to barbeque vegetable kebabs.” Sasi Eswaran, Sunnyvale “ We have an old tradition called Fred’s Steak. It comes in a black chunk and we get it from a butcher named Schaub’s in Palo Alto. It looks scary, but it’s tasty.” Ziv Moshe, Los Altos “ We make lechón for special occasions. It’s a whole pig stuffed with vegetables and spices and roasted over charcoal for four hours.” Nelson Bunao, San Jose “ My husband likes to barbeque tri-tip.
