Anyone who can walk into Kentucky Fried Buches for the 1st time and chow down with abandon has my vote of confidence.

I was surprised to learn the necks come from chickens here in the states. The low demand for them makes them a lot cheaper. The crispy skin is tasty, but i lack the skill and patience for getting the meat off the bone. There salsa is excellent.

Rick Bayless on holiday in Baja
Renowned Chef came back to enjoy Baja’s flavor with his friends

by Andrea García
July 4 2012

Famous Chef Rick Bayless, host of TV show “Mexico, One Plate at a Time” is on vacation in Tijuana and its surroundings.

But Bayless didn’t come back alone; he brought 35 of his top collaborators to visit Tecate, Ensenada, Rosarito Beach and the Guadalupe Valley.

Enjoying the flavors of Baja, the gastronomic specialist brought Executive Chefs Andrés Padilla and Richard James from restaurants “Topolobampo” and “Frontera Grill” established in Chicago, Illinois.

Juan Tintos Funcke, Secretary of Tourism in Baja California, stated today that this act means a lot to the region since it shows the great potential Bayless sees in it.

Last year the famed Chef shot his show’s 8th season; the destinations, colors and flavors made in Baja caused a great impression in him.

“That is why we see today with great pleasure that he has returned to our State where he will stay for a number of days touring the coast side corridor of Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada, as well as visiting Tecate; he will enjoy the attractions the region has to offer, the food and the wines” declared Tintos Funcke.

Amongst the places the travelers have visited are the Wine Route, the traditional street cart of tostadas de ceviche “La Guerrerense” in Ensenada and many restaurants from the coast side corridor.

His TV show “Mexico, One Plate at a Time” is centered in Mexican gastronomy and it’s transmitted nationwide throughout the United States by the PBS network.

Tijuana, a new tradition for Bourdain
From Comic-Con to Mision 19

by SanDiegoRed.com

July 16 2012

It was at last weekend’s Comic-Con, where renowned food critic Anthony Bourdain presented the first issue of his “Get Jiro!” comic, but what surprised everyone was when he invited people to go to one of Tijuana’s new restaurants: Mision 19, by Chef Javier Plascencia.

Bourdain, who has traveled through the world looking for the best food while meeting all kinds of culinary traditions, visited Baja California a few months back to shoot an episode of his “No Reservations” TV show. While in Tijuana, he was captivated by the dishes of Javier Plascencia in his restaurant.

During one of the interviews the usual question of “What do you recommend to eat in San Diego?” popped up, Bourdain answered that, not to offend any of the great places San Diego had to offer, but the best advice was to go south of the border and visit Mision 19, a unique experience.

His team also handed out a list of his favorite places in Tijuana, the ones he went to while shooting his show. The list was made up of bars, restaurants and small venues that have been gaining recognition thanks to their food; some are even street food carts:

1.Mision 19

Phone : (664) 6342493

2. Terraza Vallarta


3.Las Ahumaderas

4.Kentucky Fried Buches

5.Tortas el Tribi

6.El sótano suizo

Phone (664) 6848834
7.El Dandy del Sur

Phone (664) 6880052
8.La Mezcalera

It is clear that Baja conquered Anthony’s palate and his word has become an excellent presentation card to the new Baja-Med gastronomy.
