TIJUANA. - Months ago Anthony Bourdain visited various points in the state of Baja California to show the world the real truth: the boom in low-med
kitchen and the wave of violence as a nightmare that you wake up.
The expectation by the people of the Border was the high Bourdain Would he commit? Time for the truth in chapter issued Monday evening May 28.
"I write, I travel, I eat and I want more" is the phrase that encompasses the concept of the "No Reservations". This time, the chapter begins when
Bourdain crosses from San Diego to Tijuana by the San Ysidro border crossing, the bridge known for thousands of people who no longer live in Tijuana
and San Diego, both cities have made the same. In the background and some pictures, we talk a few years ago when Mexico's war on drugs caused clashes
between armed groups in the streets of the city and almost became extinct Tourism in Baja California.
We talk about events that happened almost 6 years ago and now only remember but make citizens forge a new present and future.
The first stop was a place Bourdain cake near the line, "Lomo cake please" expressed in español.La savor every last bite and says "That's a good
cake."
As the issue progresses, Anthony Bourdain clarifies that knows little or nothing of Tijuana, for someone who does not reside in the area, it is
expected that all you've heard are bad news, yet we came across a man who has traveled every corner of the world and now wears a flag that says
"Tijuana is safe, Baja California is amazing and everyone should come to know him."
Bourdain went on his journey in "Mission 19", a restaurant of Chef Javier Plascencia Baja California. While enjoying a sausage roast tongue, radishes
and other products of the region, Anthony Plascencia questioned about his proposal to gastronomy.
Javier Plascencia spoke of making the Baja-Mediterranean cuisine in a dining destination to create something new with the traditional recipes of
Mexican food and using the best products in the region.
"No Reservations" continued to show Tijuana and it was time for nightlife: Sixth Street bars and one of the most beloved, The Southern Dandy .
Accompanied by Tony T, Bourdain enjoying a beer and hear about how there had been in good times and bad times of Tourism in the city. Visitors from
abroad or local nightlife was not dead.
Tony T said that Tijuana was gradually learning that the Tourism "$ 10 all you want to take and bad food" and would not work and now it was
reinvented. Tourism was not for what the Tijuana saw as the "typical gringo" was for the same citizens who sought to enjoy a drink with friends and
have a good time.
Tony Bourdain T and crossed the street to enjoy the Mezcal in "Mezcal". Bourdain put aside that he felt a little weird in the meantime young to taste
mixtures, and grasshoppers.
On board a pink limousine would not start in the beginning, Tony Bourdain T invited to the Street Tacos, what the locals called "The Ahumaderas" Tony
T said that Tijuana had the best tacos in the country and Bourdain would witness. Tacos and marinated hearty were the bane of Bourdain, while testing
said "I Like Taco Alley".
Anthony Bourdain's tour continued the next day with an interview with filmmaker Ivan Diaz and Nortec Collective's Pepe Mogt where they talked about
the mixture of northern and electronic music. "No Reservations" show the identity of a place, does not focus on just one aspect.
Ivan and Pepe explained to Bourdain that the best cure for a hangover was a Michelada and shellfish, which in turn was a tradition that came from
northern Sinaloa as music. Seafood at the seaside.
The spirit of the evening needed a remedy, then Ivan and Anthony came to "Kentucky Fried Buches." The necks of chicken, tortillas and fresh salsa, a
delight for Bourdain.

"No Reservations" continued his journey through Baja in Ensenada and Anthony Bourdain introduced a new sidekick "Tavo" while tasted his first fish
taco in the Black Market. Even with the vast experience that has left Bourdain travel the world, the Fish Tacos in Ensenada were something that had no
comparison in taste. Tacos Lily were chosen to know the specialty Bourdain port.
Another local, Javier, accompanied Anthony to know the seafood carts on the streets of Ensenada and Bourdain was amazed at the quality and taste of
food. Sabina Guerrero was always the people in your cart and Bourdain praised the secret of your kitchen.
The issue was also "Popotla" and its fishing community. Bourdain said that all positions offered tasty food and that one only had to go and wait for
sinners to bring the product of the day, fresh ingredients and food supreme.
What Anthony Bourdain was living on the edge of the coast in Baja California? "A good day in Paradise." He enjoyed his lobster Puerto Nuevo style.
Anthony Bourdain also showed the Guadalupe Valley and after referring to him as "A Little Tuscany", Chef Benito Molina explained that the term
"Low-Med" was too small for this new trend where gourmet Mexican cuisine combined with Mediterranean ingredients because that was the climate of the
region.
Later, Benedict accompanied Bourdain to " Heart Land "where his disciple, Chef Diego Hernandez was turning this new kitchen with ingredients
cultivated the same. Hernandez and Bourdain spoke about a new generation of Mexican chef to be knowledgeable about the local ingredients to create
something new. Bourdain said that the possibilities for this new culinary scene were endless.
On the coast, Anthony Bourdain joined the party and proved Chef Louis Tucker smoked clams with cheese sauce and brown sugar. Bourdain left no wonder,
did the Baja California had natural gourmet knowledge? The street food and restaurants, craft beer, wine ... was better than the Napa Valley.
The episode ended with an account of Bourdain saying that if there was justice, this new wave of chefs, cooks and musicians would give glory to Baja
California.

You notice, Ken, That Bourdain stayed away from the "RIO COLORADO" area of Tijuana, unlike his friend Zimmerman, who DID go into the
RIO area and had his car stereo stolen there.

I don't know about the RIO COLORADO area of TJ. Where is it? I'm very careful when driving around Tijuana. Maybe, that's why Bourdain got a ride in
a pink limo.

The RIO COLORADO area in TJ is designated by a sign as one enters TJ via the San Ysidro area.
The easy way to describe it is to stay in the middle lane after one enters the TJ area, and just head East. One will not have ANY
difficulties in recognizing the area. The streets kind of meander around toward theTJ airport. A really run-down real-estate (sort-of-like-Watts, in
the South Los Angeles area).

I bet he gets fed for free wherever he goes. Can you imagine if you were a Restaurant Owner and/or Chef and he walked into your restaurant???

Is This an Accurate Reprint of the Article?
If it was originally printed in Spanish, then this translation is badly garbled. Was it run through Babelish? (Joke.)

Unfortunately, a lot of articles printed by the U/T Red that were originally in Spanish come out pretty awkward in English. Cut-rate paper...cut-rate
