Frank Alexandre

Frank Alexandre is the owner of a local auto repair and towing company in Newark, NJ, and more importantly, an accomplished Portuguese home cook. He’s won several contests at Casa de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, a social club (named after the desolate region in northeast Portugal) in the Ironbound section of the city, for his folar, a traditional Easter bread that is stuffed with cured meat. You can read more about him in David’s story about Newark’s Portuguese Easter traditions.
