FPV17: Cocina 88

Food Philosophy Video #17: Cocina 88 - Guadalajara

Chef Mark and I explored the delicious flavors of Guadalajara, Mexico with a dinner at Cocina 88, where I tasted the freshest, most tender calamari that has ever found its way to my lips. This restaurant is a must if you are visiting Guadalajara. Special thanks to our gracious host, Juan Pablo Diz, from Partida Tequila -- he's become one of my favorite dining companions!

Food Philosophy Video #14: Gascony Wines

I discovered an intriguing line of wines from Domaine du Tariquet in the Gascony region of France. Importer Bobby Kacher shares his passion about this unusual varietal, and surprises us with white wines that can hold up to hearty winter foods.

Food Philosophy #63: Join Us at the Table

Nancy Ancrum and Robbie Bell are Two Saucy Chicks who host Join Us at the Table on WKAT radio in Miami. When off the air, they are busy coordinating eating tours around South Florida with a concept they call Curated Dining(TM), which celebrates food's anthropological and cultural roots, as well as the very idea of breaking bread with other humans.

I'm also swooning over the BrewStation Deluxe from Hamilton Beach, which is a coffee lover's dream!

Food Philosophy #62: Authentic Mexican Cuisine

Food Philosophy #62: Authentic Mexican Cuisine

Drop the chalupa! At least the one you think you know is an actual chalupa. When Chef Mark and I wrapped up shooting of our new On the Tequila Trail series, we headed to La Tequila restaurant in Guadalajara with our friends from Partida -- and got a taste of the real thing.

From fried cheese to fried ice cream and every taste in between (including a bevy of adult beverages), we savored the spicy, smoky and rich flavors for which Mexican cuisine is legendary. We also had a chance to explore some of Mexico's myths and legends, of which there are many.

When it came to the drinks -- particularly my new favorite, the Partida Margarita -- I took matters into my own hands and starting mixing right at the table, so this meal definitely had some interesting moments! I think Chef Mark might have even gotten a little tipsy...

Psst...We have some new sponsors on Food Philosophy, including the Hamilton Beach Eclectrics line of kitchen appliances in cool colors. Find out exactly what I'm going to do with my new stand mixer -- and whom I'm challenging to a cookie bake-off!

On The Tequila Trail #3: Sip It, Don't Slam It - How to Taste Tequila

Join Chef Mark at Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco with proprietor Julio Bermejo, the foremost tequila expert in the US, as he shows Mark how to taste fine 100% agave tequila.

Food Philosophy #61: Super Secret Project Revealed!

Ah, you have been so patient with my hints about our Super Secret Project, and today you'll find out just what it is! Chef Mark and I have spent the past few months "On the Tequila Trail", which is also the name of our new video series sponsored by Partida Tequila. Join us on the road as we show you everything from the agave plants in Amatitan to cocktails and tastings around the U.S. -- not to mention that tequila should be sipped, not slammed.

I also share my thoughts about our recent travels, and some musings on the fantasy land that is Las Vegas -- where I discovered the *best* Thai food I've ever tasted. We also had a chance to sit down with Ariane Daguin to talk about our other favorite taste: foie gras.
