Jeff, she wrote books on Mexican regional cooking (back when most Americans thought Mexican cooking was Hamburger helper Mexicali)

Right, Diana Kennedy is THE source if you want to get into regional Mexican cooking. It is a BIG country.

I was impressed with this:

Television Program, on Location
The Mind of a Chef
Host: Anthony Bourdain
Network: PBS
Producers: Jared Andrukanis, Anthony Bourdain, Joe Caterini, Chris Collins, Michael Steed, and Lydia Tenaglia

We keep happening across "The Mind of a Chef" -- it has focused on this Brit lady, I don't really know who she is, but she speaks a dialect I've read in books. "NG" words are converted to "NK." Young = Younk. Working = "Workink". The show is wonderful, I loved it when they had someone up around Seattle (???) making salt, and they showed the whole process. Today she made "bubble and squeak" and talked about "offal" and it was a wonderful show. There was a show on Fish and Chips that took us back to Bridport on the south coast of England. How can fish and chips be so memorable? That was in 1980, and I'll never forget it. We saw a Shearwater flying around the cliffs, and the beach was all pebbles the size of golf balls!

Heston Blumenthal's place, The Fat Duck, on a lot of top restaurant lists, was also famous for being plagued twice by norovirus outbreak's. One time reportedly over 240 people were afflicted. The second time, Blumenthal's place got hit and the inspector said "employees should wash their hands more often", he closed the place down for a week to make sure the offending virus was gone.

So even in the top-rated places, you always take your chances.
