Pati Jinich, an award-winning Mexican-American chef and the host of PATI'S MEXICAN TABLE, demonstrates how to make this holiday favorite! She's joined by Malaka Gharib of NPR's Goats & Soda blog, and Maria Godoy of NPR's The Salt blog.
Pati's dad brings 60 tamales every time he travels to Washington, D.C., to visit her. Here he takes her to the place where he gets them all: Tamales Emporio in Mexico City. And they get a tour from the "Willy Wonka" of tamales himself.
