Fonda San Miguel executive chef Miguel Ravago: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
This is the life of Miguel Ravago, the executive chef who founded Fonda San Miguel with Tom Gilliland in 1975.
Going back and forth between the two cities allows him to see Austin through a wider lens than if he were stuck here in the Fonda kitchen that, even without him, is still producing some of the finest interior Mexican food in the state.
Ravago is back in Austin for the time being, but when he was in Spain earlier this month, he snapped a photo of his fridge there. It’s a little fuzzy, but you get the drift: Wine, olives, cured meats, a few more olives, a little more wine. Así es la vida española, a taste of which we could all use a little more of in our hurried, eat-dinner-by-dark-and-get-up-when-it’s-still-dark schedules.
What three things are always in your fridge? Eggs, cheese and milk (for coffee).
What is your favorite condiment? Dijon mustard and Tabasco.
What is your go-to late night snack? Cookies and milk

I have experienced Miguel’s cooking while visiting Austin. I spent 4 days in the city and ate at Fonda San Miguel daily! What a treat, I love Miguel’s spirit, he is genuine, loving and so humble. His food is an expression of how beautiful his soul is…
