Ever travel to a tourist mecca and wonder what the locals eat? Rick does. So he joins his pal Hugo to find the best Mexican food in Los Cabos. Their first stop is at the municipal market in San Jose del Cabo for a quick mid-morning meal of sopes and beef soup. Then they enjoy amazing carnitas at Los Michoacános, stuffed guero chiles and bacon-wrapped shrimp at Mariscos El Toro Guero and guava tamales at Sabor Internacional. In Chicago, Rick teaches us how to stuff and grill shrimp and make those guava tamales.

    Whenever I have a bacon wrapped food, I like to par cook the bacon a bit. It tightens it up, renders a bit of the fat, and helps it get fully cooked in the final dish. Invariably, the thing I am wrapping doesn't need to be cooked very much, but bacon needs to be crispy.

    Sounds good. My mind immediately went to bacon wrapped scallops. So good! I’m a big fan of pumpkin pie, and I am really curious about the pumpkin pie tamales. So interesting. Thanks Rick and Laney.

    Anyone who has ever had corn bread with blueberries in it would not turn down a blueberry tamale...😋

    I'm intrigued by the idea of blueberry tamales. Would a bit of lemon oil in the masa ruin the flavor? I believe I will use Tillamook blueberry cream cheese and alternate that with pieces of banana or maybe plantain.
