Photograph of Chef Joe Romero (Ramirez?) and his ayudante standing in front of an active well in Plummer Park, [s.d.]. The well is made of stone, and appears to have plants growing out of it. There is a sign attached to a wooden post over the well that reads "Children must stay out of mischief on these premises". The man on the left is wearing a dress shirt, tie, vest and slacks. He has a mustache and is holding his hat in his hand. The man on the right is wearing a long white apron and a tie. There is a Mexican flag hanging in the upper right corner of the picture, in front of a set of steps leading to a building.
