We’ve all heard of the Twelve Days of Christmas, but this is ridiculous! We’re dropping an episode every weekday between now and December 25, as we try to share all the interviews Andrew has banked in 2024 before the year draws to an end. This Andrew Talks to Chefs December Marathon is brought to you by The Dish, Andrew’s most recent book, which just became available in paperback, with a cool new black-and-white cover.
On this first episode of the Marathon, we are thrilled to share a conversation with Nixta Taqueria‘s Edgar Rico, recorded at the Hot Luck festival in Austin, Texas, Memorial Day weekend. Edgar and Andrew met up at one of the festival’s marquee tasting events and interviewed on site, getting deep into Edgar’s upbringing, training, and how and why he eventually gravitated to tacos. Be sure to check it out, and subscribe to the pod wherever you listen so you can keep up with the Marathon and all forthcoming episodes.
