Rick Bayless "Mexico: One Plate at a Time" Episode 801: Mediterranean Baja

The Baja California peninsula boasts a climate reminiscent of those on the Mediterranean Sea. Thousands of olive trees and vineyards in Northern Baja capture the distinctiveness of this region of Mexico. We explore the amazing grilled octopus at Tres Virgenes in La Paz and enjoy mesquite-grilled lamb with 9-chile mole sauce. Rick makes tacos of kale and spinach with a green garlic mojo from the gardens of the renowned spa Rancho La Puerta. In Tijuana, Chef Miguel Angel Guerrero Yagües shows off his terrific wood-fired grill to Rick before he cooks lamb three ways. Chef Jair Tellez makes a geoduck ceviche at his dreamy Laja restaurant in the Valle de Guadalupe. At home, Rick grills lamb with fennel and a red chile salsa. Astonishing Baja, indeed.

    I lived in southern San Diego, and would visit the Baja coast all the time. The food is the best I’ve had anywhere in world.

    I'm ready to renovate my kitchen as I MUST be able to truly cook again. And book a culinary trip to Mexico asap! If it exists of course. ;) Delicious!

    My wife and I take a few trips to Valle de Guadalupe every year. So many great restaurants and vineyards. Dinner at Laja was delicious.

    I grew up in El Valle de Guadalupe, And had the privilege of watching it grow over the years, back in my day as a kid, there were no paved roads, everything was dirt and very few restaurants and wineries. I never even knew that my hometown was going to be such a big deal. ❤

    My mouth waters every time I watch one of your videos. I try to imagine the aromas, fragrances of and flavors of the food!! I dream of visiting your and your wife's restaurants. Better yet, I would someday want to go to Mexico and enjoy the authentic flavors of Mexico with you as my guide. That would be a dream come true.

    I moved to Carambuche, near San Isidro Baja California Sur on January 4, 2024. I did it for financial and health reasons. There are no gringos up here, so studying Spanish non stop. Love the food, but a very different lifestyle from Oregon. Six dogs that need care, but my family owns 2 3 bedroom houses and a palapa. Not very wet, it’s in the 80’s. I make the 100 km trip to Ciudad Constitución do get big supplies although basic food and drink items are available locally. Spent time in Loreto and Cabo to fish in the 1980’s -2010. Just trying to get on with my new life! Duane

    I'm confused. When I looked up the Valle de Guadalupe on the map it was in central mexico but located closer to the gulf coast. I know what Baja California and Baja California sur's terrain looks like and its pure desert with cacti and sand. So explain please how this area you call Baja Mexico came to be named.

    Hi Libertyblueskyes2564 The Valle De Guadalupe is just east of Ensenada. So that's about 70 miles south of San Diego. Hope that helps.

    i was dragged to a play in Chicago and saw Bayless in some kind of swing and thought this is the biggest narcissist A-hole I've seen in a long time. It only got worse from there.
