Disneyland Honors The Latino Chef Celebrating 60 Years As A Disneyland Employee

EXCERPT: WE ARE MITU

 

Disneyland’s longest continuously working cast member (that’s what Disneyland calls its employees) is this Latino chef who was born in Brownsville, Texas, moved to Arkansas when he was around nine years old, then moved to California in 1956 and got hired at Disneyland just one week later.

This is Oscar Martinez, but most people know him as Chef Oscar.
