...bureaucrat turned serial entrepreneur, Tullman began his career in the Office of Management and Budget of the Carter and Reagan administrations, then earned an advanced degree in social anthropology at Oxford. "Working in Washington was a great experience," he says. "But it also helped me understand that the problems we face in the country won't be solved there. They'll be solved locally, and business will have to play a critical role...
...idea that we might one day find a cure for cancer seems axiomatic to anyone trying to understand the disease. That was the goal, after all, of the War on Cancer promoted by President Richard Nixon in 1971. But given the enormous complexity and variety of malignancies and the ways they can evolve and migrate in the body, an all-embracing cure is a naive hope.

And the Grilled Chicken Bowl mocks KFC's gloppy layered Rice Bowl: Pollo's is a mixture of chicken, beans, rice, cilantro, onions and salsa fresca over red rice that is one of the best fast-food dishes I've ever had. The restaurant doesn't quite understand what a biscuit is (yes, Pollo's is fluffy, but it's hard on the outside, without even a faux butteriness), and the fries are dry and bland. Still, the chicken and the overall vibe are so right that if this is what Latin America thinks America is, then...
