On this episode, we meet world traveling chef Eduardo Salgado, who is putting Emat Restaurant on the top of the map. Wow, the dishes of food he prepares at this place in Valle de Guadalupe blows us away in both taste and presentation. And next we visit another fantastic place in Ensenada called Ophelia’s. The bluefin tuna was great, but the pudding pie was to die for.

Host Jorge Meraz found his favorite dessert - a little cream pie at Ophelia restaurant in Ensenada, Mexico.
