Well Mario Batali is Italian. And yes his cookbook is fabulous. Big difference.
He isn't some guy that gave money to be praised.
On Bayless, like I said I was told by his devotees that he knows more than an actual Mexican chef. I also heard he donated a bunch of money so he would get some awards.
You can have him. I'll take actual Mexicans and their descendants. Not some guy that says a digital thermometer and a certain pan is a requirement for making corn tortillas. That is so not true. I think people have been making tortillas long before digital thermometers.
Ok so a cast iron pan Is a help but it doesn't have to be a precise size. I don't think there is a digital thermometer in my neighborhood. But there are many tortillas.
6 years and a few trips isn't that long. Maybe if he wasn't so spendy.
