“Playwright Quiara Alegria Hudes has a lot on her plate. “Oh, my God,” she moans, “Im never going to be able to eat all this. This is like the largest side order of rice and beans Ive ever seen” Though shes eight months pregnant, and correspondingly hungry, she seems daunted by the platters arrayed before her at Malencon, a Dominican restaurant on 175th Street: codfish stew, beans and rice, buttered rolls, a side order of pasteles. She gestures at the pasteles with her fork. “These are so hard to find. Theyre holiday food””like for the New Year or Christmas or Three Kings Day. One person in the family will work for days [to make them].”"
