Junior Merino's humble beginnings started in the kitchen, which inspired a line of chef creations for the public's culinary applications. Some of the products include his Smoked Chile Ancho/Spices Rub and Guava Chipotle Rum BBQ Sauce, which can be purchased on the online store. In keeping with his philosophy, Merino created a high-end catering company called The Liquid Table, a true fusion of the kitchen and the bar.
