Pati's Mexican Table - All Seasons
Season 1
In Season One, Pati introduces us to the Mexican experience. Each episode finds Pati in her home kitchen preparing a series of dishes centered on a singular Mexican trait, for example using versatile ingredients like avocado, tomatillos and vanilla in a variety of ways, or different takes on crowd-pleasing dishes such as quesadillas and wrapped foods, or exploring the foods of the Mexican Revolution and dishes created in convents. In between, she visits street-food vendors, open-air markets, and cultural landmarks in her childhood hometown of Mexico City. As she cooks, she not only shares important cooking skills, techniques and basics about the ingredients, but also personal family stories, traditions and legends behind the food.

Season Two opens with Pati in a Lucha Libre (Mexican wrestling) ring, launching into a premier episode on dishes that have provoked food debates over the years, such as “red vs. green enchilada sauce” or “polvorones vs. Mexican wedding cookies.” This begins a season where Pati takes a much deeper look into the nuances of Mexican cuisine. Her main destination is the state of Puebla, one of Mexico’s main culinary hubs. A journey through its colonial capital takes us to the birthplace of many of Mexico’s most iconic dishes. Pati also goes back to Mexico City to visit the legendary floating gardens of Xochimilco, which leads to learning about the Mexican art of cooking with flowers.

Pati takes a decidedly different direction in Season Three. While her bold Mexican flavors and insightful knowledge of the stories behind them continue to guide the shows, Pati takes viewers more deeply into her native country and her own home in Washington, DC, and family life. Pati brings viewers along as she reconnects with her father in his restaurant in downtown Mexico City and her oldest sister in the restaurant she runs in another area of Mexico City. She also travels to the state of Michoacan, where she eats her way through Quiroga, “the Carnitas Capital of the World,” meets Butterfly Net Fishermen in Patzcuaro, visits women chefs in their restaurants in the state’s capital, Morelia, and more. She also lets us in on more of her day-to-day home life with regular appearances by her family and friends.
