      This reason this woman is likeable as she's just cooking good food and sharing her experiences. If she became a regular her personality would shine through and we'd get to know her, as we did with the rest of the cast and grew to love them. It's the complete opposite of what they tried to do with the other new hires who I think we can all safely say, almost nobody is enjoying watching.

    I'm very thankful you guys added subtitles to this video, but they go out of sync around 4:25.

    I’m not sure I understand why they’re so many dislikes on this video. This looked so good!

    Wow! Thank you for everything you did here. For sharing this recipe, your story, your beliefs and confirming I need to go to Oaxaca. It really had a significant impact on me. I just built a wood fired oven and am going to try and make this entirely in the wood fired oven. I am guessing the sear I can get on the chicken in a 700degree cast-iron could be amazing.
