Tacos have given me everything in my life: My career, my wife, my home, and they remain my daily muse. But last week, my voracious pursuit to find the next best taco in L.A. nearly cost me my life.
Whenever I see a new regional taco style unlocked in our beautiful city of tacos that has never been covered before, I become possessed with a burning desire to cover it immediately.
Nixtamal attracts me like one of those cartoon characters floating through the air, following the scent of food, and I will stop at nothing to go and try any place going through the effort to make handmade corn tortillas: driving, walking, taking the bus, biking, running, however I get there, but as long as I get there.
