Introducing Eddie Garza

In today’s episode, we’re talking to Eddie Garza, one of the most exciting chefs in the plant-based cooking world. I first met Eddie in a Clubhouse room of our Vegan Travel Club a couple of months ago. As soon as he started talking and I looked at his bio I knew I wanted to talk to him on the podcast. He grew up in the border town of Brownsville, Texas, son of Mexican immigrants and through his mother and grandmother, he fell in love with food. Since then he has spent a lot of time in Mexico and with his love of Mexican food, he is taking you our listeners throughout a culinary tour of Mexico. We’ll be learning about unique ingredients, special towns, the vibe of certain regions, and even some food history.

This episode was one of my favorites to record and edit because Eddie’s enthusiasm is just contagious. I defy you to not want you to pack your bags and head on a year-long discovery of Mexico!
