Itinerary Sneak Peek
In Mexico, everyone has an opinion about food, and they’re usually right. It’s family, memory, smoke, heat, and strong feelings about how things should be done. Recipes get passed down the same way other families pass down surnames, and everyone’s sure theirs is the original.
You’ll grind corn by hand, see what actually goes into a proper mole (it’s a lot), and eat street food from places that have been feeding locals the same thing for decades. Some days it’s simple and comforting. Other days it’s loud, spicy, and perfectly chaotic.
Mornings start with markets coming alive before sunrise, the smell of chillies hitting a hot comal, the constant chopping, flipping, tasting. You’ll meet cooks who learned from their parents and grandparents, who cook by feel instead of recipe, and who can tell you exactly what each and every ingredient brings to a dish.
Some of what you’ll eat is rooted in ancestry. Some is fire and instinct. Regardless, you won’t just eat Mexico; you’ll leave smelling like smoke and chilli.
