On this week’s super-sized show, Steve and Rick travel to five cities in two countries for a major taco crawl. Some are traditional, while other versions are being reinterpreted by ambitious chefs. When seeking out the best taco, why not head to the epicenter of taco culture.  Rick heads to Mexico City to meet up with Nick Gilman, author of “Mexico City’s Best Tacos.”  Steve is in San Diego for some fish tacos at Rubio’s before heading south to Ensenada, on Mexico’s Baja Peninsula.  He then samples the Sonoran-style tacos in Tucson, before winding up back home in Chicago, where one chef is inspired to make tacos inspired by the best Midwest farms at Antique Taco.
