On today’s episode of Borderline Salty, hosts Rick Martinez and Carla Lalli Music weigh in on the best ways to use MSG, growing to love nopales, and how to take care of your cast iron skillet, whether it’s been in your family for generations or brand new out of the box! Also, Carla shares a kitchen nightmare story from her days as a personal chef.
