Episode Overview
Who wouldn’t want to graze on delicious Yucatecan dishes from morning to night? Rick and Lanie dive into this culinary adventure right in the heart of Merida, where they're captivated by the vibrant atmosphere of a local dance event surrounded by food stalls. They can't resist the allure of Marquesitas, a crispy wafer filled with cheese and cajeta. Rick even shares the recipe from a cozy confidenciales chair—a special park bench perfect for sharing secrets with a loved one. Their exploration continues with delightful breakfast treats like tortas, panuchos, and the decadent impossible cake at the Santa Ana market. Inspired by their experiences, they whip up Salbutes (corn tortillas topped with zesty shredded chicken) in their own kitchen. Later, at Eladio’s, a lively centro botanero in downtown Merida, they revel in the energetic ambiance while savoring a table brimming with snacks and Dzik, a zesty lime-marinated shredded beef dish.
