S09E12 Bringing Oaxaca Home
Episode Overview
Oaxaca, once a lesser-known gem, has become a must-visit destination for adventurous travelers. Its capital showcases one of Mexico's most delightful colonial cities, where visitors can unwind at charming sidewalk cafes under shaded arches, soaking up the laid-back ambiance reminiscent of traditional Mexico. As night falls, the plaza transforms into a vibrant hub filled with lively performances, artisanal crafts, and delicious food stalls. The city is also known for its thriving dining scene, bustling markets, and art galleries, while the coastline boasts some of the world's most stunning beaches. Inspired by Oaxaca, Rick gathers friends to whip up a dinner that captures its essence, starting with a mescal pineapple cocktail paired with a twist on crunchy, chile-and-garlic peanuts found in local markets, followed by a sumptuous shrimp and crab first course.
