Traveling to Tabasco, Mexico – Episode 29
by Craig Zabransky on April 12, 2018 in Mexico Travel, Podcast Show Notes
When I reach for the hot sauce now, my mind travels off to the real destination, a place ironically where the Tabasco peppers are not grown, but it is certainly hot – in the southern part of Mexico on the Gulf. The sauce I grew up with is produced in Louisiana, but the actual destination […]
