Tripledigitken, I think there was another thread I am remembering, and not Alton Brown! I can't imagine him riding a dirt bike down the peninsula for
some reason.It was someone else, I am sure.Maybe it was on the Amigo board. I too love Anthony and try to watch all his segments.A very down to earth
guy.I on a mission now, gotta find that thread!!(and to bajageoff, I'll second that idea!)

Ok, I think I have it, but am having a difficult time finding this video! Pretty sure it was Rick Bayless with Alton Brown narrating.He(Rick) was just
on with Bobby Flay, the Iron Chef show.(Bobby won by one point, pretty plating) Can anyone help solve this mystery?
 It was all Mexican food, the theme being Buffalo!

Hated Peruvian Ceviche

I did a little research 2 yrs ago, and realized that Ceviche is originally a Peruvian invention. In Lima, "Cevicerias" are as ubiquitous as Dennys or
Bob's Big Boy to us Americanos. |
Had Ceviche in Peru and it is not the same as in Mex. In Peru it's much sweeter with larger chunks of fish. They don't put it on a tostada either.
It's served in a c-cktail glass.
Like Mexican Cheviche a lot better. |
The ceviche I had in the Miraflores section of Lima was horrible. I also had terrible, deep-fried Shrimp that haunted me all day and night until I
went to a "Pan-Fusion" Pacific restaurant and came down with the worst food poisoning I had in years.

Just saw No Reservations in Colombia and it was great. I have been to every city he was filming as well as Envigado where Pablo Escobar is from and it
has changed a lot. It was brutal when I was there. I got to meet several people who worked in the cartel and investigated several others murders. I'm
really glad it has changed and I hope Mexico takes note!
And Ken, I had my Ceviche in a restaurant in Miraflores as well.

Yep, I like his show also and how he gets to run the streets with a local or locals, so he gets behind the real doors of where the locals are. Mexico
and Baja are both the same Gull, in that you need to visit it all to appreciate it all. I do mainland and Baja as both make me want to keep going
back and forth enjoying the areas and friends I meet along the way. I know this is Baja Nomad but we always talk about what Baja has to offer to to
the mainlanders in Mexico and most have some family somewhere from or in the Baja area. Easy on the Easy Gull, you know Ken truly likes Baja but just
putting some flavor in the "What If" surel you jump into mainland some time and if not you should. Again, doing different parts makes you appreciate
what Baja has that always keeps bringing us back, right?? Central America food is also pretty unexciting due to the types of staples that people have
to eat regularly on small amounts of money they make, way less than Mexico. Later----------------------------------- bajafun777

I just saw the Colombia edition of "No Reservations" and Cartegena looks exactly like what I saw in person. I need to review my Lonely Planet
guidebook to learn more about the island Bourdain visited which reminded him of West Africa.
As for Baja -- when I returned from Peru, my thoughts were;
1. In Baja, I can eat most places and not get sick.
2. In Baja, the mariscos are much better tasting.
3. In Baja, the cities are less crowded and much more laid back.
But sadly, things are changing rapidly due to the cartels in Baja, and the motivation of the people will need to take place in order for them to win
this war against their own cartels.
