Season 8

Pati's Mexican Table: Season Eight invites viewers into a region of Mexico that remains largely off the radar. Spanning the west coast of northern Mexico—from the majestic Sierra Madre to the beach-front towns along the Pacific, and through fertile farmland tucked between natural rivers and man-made dams—Pati crisscrosses the state of Sinaloa, widely regarded as Mexico's breadbasket. Traveling by road, by sea, by train, on foot, and even by mule, she uncovers why the people of Sinaloa are so proud of their regional cuisine, their traditional sourcing and cooking techniques, and the distinctive ingredients that define them. The journey also broadens its lens on the evolution of Mexican food in the United States, stopping in Tucson to sample some of its Mexican favorites.
