I have been to Frontera Grill in Chicago and I met Rick Bayless. I also own all of his books and use them regularly. I used to live in Albuquerque and then in Sothern California. I have traveled through parts of northern and coastal Mexico. My vote would be for Oaxaca -- somewhere out in a little village.

Where would that be? Chicago and Rick Bayless? Mexico City ? Albuquerque? Oaxaca? Somewhere in Texas? Certainly not here in Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Let fly!
