- Location: Los Angeles
- Favorite foods: Ceviche, pulque, durian, nopales, mezcal, beans, handmade tortillas, unpasteurized cheeses and daiya too, mochi, vegenaise...seeing a trend here?
- Last bite on earth: A clay bowl filled with steaming al dente pinto beans from the latest harvest and a side of wild nopales in red chile. Served with toasted handmade tortillas and a wedge of aged, unpasteurized Mexican cheese from my parent's Zacatecas ranch, at room temp. Hey, you asked.

@wetdog2 Doh! Forgot to address the common huitlacoche problem! First of all, it's considered an unwanted plague here in the US, so you basically can't get it fresh, ever. For a jarred version that will do the trick, check out "Mercado Mexico" in Boyle Heights, on Whittier Blvd. (3554 Whittier Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90023). Let me know if you find them there, they should have them unless they sell out. Good luck!
