On this episode, we visit a Blues Against Hunger music event at La Salina to the South of Rosarito. The organizer Rachel Pack explains how this regular event helps feed the hungry and less fortunate in the region. We also meet restaurateur JT Meadows from the Boredom Report. He gives great perspective as to why food in Baja is so darn good. Next we check out a place called Rancho Tecate. It's a large ranch with some great food, a lot of history, and unique landscape. We also get to see the water supply for the entire city of Tijuana, rushing through the canyon.
