Eileen Andrade

EILEEN ANDRADE is the chef-owner of Amelia’s 1931. Andrade started in the fashion business, but couldn’t resist the pull of her Cuban family’s restaurant legacy, especially that of her abuela Amelia, for whom the restaurant is named. She worked her way up in her family’s restaurants (she started as a dishwasher), ran a food truck and two casual spots – Finka and Barbako – and designed Amelia’s 1931, which features an eclectic Asian-Latin menu.
