Early life and education
Raúl Juliá Sr. was the founder of La Cueva del Chicken Inn, a restaurant in San Juan. The building was originally a gas station and auto body shop before being remodeled after a similar restaurant in Madrid, Spain, called Las Cuevas de Luis Candelas, which is intended to mimic the structure of a gypsum cave. He claimed that he had brought pizza to Puerto Rico after hiring an Italian cook in New York City who could prepare pizza. The restaurant is also supposed to be the first to distribute chicken-in-a-basket in the archipelago, which Miriam Fitts helped him develop.
