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 #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!

Ah, you have been so patient with my hints about our Super Secret Project, and today you'll find out just what it is!

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.
