Now you can make a bäco at home

Josef Centeno opened his first restaurant, Bäco Mercat, six years ago in a 110-year-old Italian Renaissance Revival building in Downtown Los Angeles. Since then, Centeno’s opened four more restaurants in the Historic Core and a fast-casual Bäcoshop in Culver City. And he’s just published his first cookbook with wife Betty Hallock, “Bäco: Vivid Recipes From the Heart of Los Angeles.”
