Meet Derick
Before there were two restaurants, there were pasteles—and a Grandma Ann’s Electric Grater in a small New York City apartment.
Derick Lopez, known throughout his community as The Freakin Rican, began using the grater to prepare the green bananas, yautía, yuca and calabaza needed for authentic Puerto Rican masa. It helped him produce pasteles efficiently enough to begin selling them and sharing the food he grew up with on a larger scale.

What started with homemade pasteles and a New York City street-fair food stand in 2014 grew into The Freakin Rican’s two full-service Puerto Rican restaurants. Grandma Ann’s has been part of Derick’s remarkable journey from the apartment kitchen to the restaurant kitchen since 2013.
