Creating his restaurant's menu from a grassroots exploration of Mexican regional cuisine, Rick Bayless has been offering authentic dishes to an enthusiastic following at Chicago's Frontera Grill for over a decade. With a linguistics degree, a family history in the restaurant business, and a curiosity about Mexican cuisine and culture in tote, Rick and his wife spent four years travelling, researching, shopping, and eating their way through Mexico to develop their understanding in this specialty. Documenting their experiences in Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico and opening the award-winning restaurants Topolobampo and Zinfandel as well as the Frontera Grill, Rick delights in sharing his passion. Judging from the media attention and his numerous culinary awards, he'll be the authority on the subject for quite awhile. In the show IN JULIA'S KITCHEN WITH MASTER CHEFS, Rick Bayless prepares some of his favorite dishes, including Chile-Glazed Country Ribs and a Rustic Jicama Salad.
