On this episode we get to visit Fauna, a restaurant in Ensenada wine country. Chef David Castro has a focus on food like an olympian has focus on winning a gold medal. This innovator is the chef of chefs, the innovator of the Valle. Other chefs point to him as the main man, the flavor-smith. We get to meet him in person and tour his amazing restaurants. And not only the food, the experience, the location, the whole package deal. Host Jorge enjoys the personal tour of the location as well as every last plate of this multi-course meal.
