Get to Know Orange Is the New Black's Laura Gómez Before the Season 3 Premiere

PS: You were born in New Jersey but grew up in Dominican Republic. What do you miss the most?

LG: My family. My parents, my brother, and my nephew are all in Dominican Republic. I miss the sun. Oh, I miss the Caribbean so much! I miss the food, but I do get to go home a few times a year and I do have family here, so whenever I miss the food, I call my aunt and she makes sure that I have a little bit of Dominican flavor on the table. Sancocho and asopao de camarones are my favorite dishes. When I want to connect with my country, I listen to merengue.
