Summary

Dave and Chris talk about their recent trip to Mexico City, with culinary highlights and some classic foreigner faux pas. Dave then interviews chef Enrique Olvera of the acclaimed two–Michelin starred Mexico City restaurant Pujol and beyond. They talk about Mexico City as a food city, tacos, and Enrique's signature mole dish, one of the best dishes in North America—maybe the world. Dave and Chris finish with a MOIF.
