Chef's Night Out: Javier Plascencia

Ойын-сауық

We head out for a night with Chef Javier Plascencia, who knows Tijuana all too well. From high-end restaurants to food truck lots, we try a little bit of everything the city has to offer, including its unprecedented craft beer boom and local party scene. From yellowfin tuna to fondue-dipped hot dogs, and ending with the original recipe for the Caesar salad, this is the ultimate food guide to everyone's favorite sin city south of the border.

    I actually live in L.A. County. My favorite BBQ place is in Inglewood called Woody's. I mean, Churches Chicken has bullet proof glass up with a roundabout pay door it's so ghetto in that area. Homeless people rambling and asking for money. That doesn't bother me. I mean the little kids that I used to see without supervision walking down Coahuila or blind older woman selling food is what broke my heart. If there is new programs helping the young and poor over there though, I'm glad.
