Just checked the dates: from 1980 to 1986, lived in Mexico with his wife, Deann, writing his first book, Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico. And I know that since then, he has made many field trips to different areas of Mexico, both as research for his show and restaurants, and because he (and his family) seem to enjoy it.
