This story is a wonderful example of an immigrant working incredibly hard to make something of herself. Read the whole story, please. - - Donna Poisl

Nine years ago, Susana “Susie” Jimenez came to Aspen after graduating from culinary school. She quickly earned a reputation as an outstanding chef, and eventually started her own catering business. This year she was a finalist on the Food Network's “The Next Food Network Star.”
This Thanksgiving, Jimenez prepared six turkey dinners for her Aspen clients and returned home to Carbondale in the afternoon to host Thanksgiving dinner for 20 of her friends.
Jimenez: My family is from Michoacan, Mexico. My dad came here with his older brother 45 years ago to pick citrus in Florida. There was a drought in Florida that year, so they went to California and worked in the vineyards. While they were there they discovered there was lots of work and they ended up sending for the whole family.
