Come hungry to Oaxaca, Mexico — one of the world’s true food capitals. In this episode, Laura dives into the city’s legendary street food, from late-night tlayudas and flower-topped quesadillas to rich moles and crispy chapulines. Then, sip your way through Oaxaca’s mezcal culture: learn how it’s made, the difference between mezcal and tequila, and the wild agaves (and even stranger traditions) behind this fascinating spirit. Equal parts delicious and eye-opening, this journey through Oaxaca will leave you craving both another bite and another pour.
