The original Chasing Chiles. Monday, October 29, 2007. The chile chase is in ruins! The chile chase was literally in ruins. the ruins of great Mayan and Toltec cities. A recent chile addition to the collection came from Palenque itself, where "managed" wild chiles grow in the shadows of temples constructed over 1500 years ago. Here, Kraig is kneeling at the site of a small chile plant at the base of a small temple. While on the chase in Mexico, we are often obligated to stop by at some of Mexico's famous...

The original Chasing Chiles. Friday, October 05, 2007. The Best Mexican Beer You've Never Tried. Also has the name that would offend most of the overly sensitive gringos! Brewed in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, this amber lager has aspirations to be a more serious beer but doesn't forget any of its Mexican playfulness! 160;Its become my go-to beer, over such popular choices such as Victoria, Bohemia, Carta Blanca and Sol. La proxima vez que estés in México, pida por un Indio! Wednesday, October 03, 2007. Let's ...

The original Chasing Chiles. Friday, January 25, 2008. Mexico’s answer to the schwarma. I have finally gotten the green light to begin my survey of chile producers in the region, so the chile chase will become the chile canvass very soon. Until that update, enjoy this piece about my favorite taco, al pastor. If I return from Mexico slightly above my fighting weight, the blame can be laid squarely on tacos al pastor. Literally translated to “shepherd’s tacos”, tacos al pastor. Many of the taquerias still ...

The original Chasing Chiles. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. A chiltepin. martini? The borderlands have a rich cultural heritage and cuisine that reflects the myriad of influences that its inhabitants bring with it. Yet it often carries an (undeserved) reputation of a dusty backwater. Those that live here know that the borderlands are teeming with artists, writers, chefs, who create bi-lingual works that reflects the unique cultural dynamic that exists here. They do so without pretense or putting on airs. Strain...

The original Chasing Chiles. Thursday, November 29, 2007. A tale of 2 Bajas. Heather and I traveled to Baja to find wild chile peppers in collaboration with CIBNOR (a biological research station) and to celebrate thanksgiving with the rest of the Kraft clan. We traveled to the same majestic peninsula that entranced Alexander von Humboldt, John Steinbeck, Edward Abbey and other lesser luminaries. It is truly a tale of 2 Bajas, never to meet in the middle. One Baja has…. 8226; Impeccably landscaped guarded...

The original Chasing Chiles. Wednesday, November 14, 2007. The high road or the low road, but never the middle. Mexico, more than anywhere else in Latin America, is known for it's amazing culinary diversity, both in the range of ingredients used and the regional identities associated with different dishes.
