At least the one you think you know is an actual chalupa.

Scenes from the Road

19 Aug 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in travel

Well, we are home again as we rest up for the next trip, but we decided to capture a little slice of life on the road. P.S. Did you know that the airport in Dallas/Ft. Worth sells iPods in a vending machine? Gnarly. As you can see, I’m always in high glamour no matter what the setting. I didn’t have much energy left at this point in the journey, though I did manage to record my latest podcast on the plane. That will be up later tonight. Chef Mark, however, seems to have an unending stream of energy, which means…

A Taste of Mexico

18 Aug 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in food

Well, we’re wrapping up our trip to Guadalajara, and I have to say that I’ve tasted some incredible flavors over the past few days.

We had some last night at La Tequila, and they were so very tasty — nothing like the ones you’re going to find at Taco Bell. Their smoky flavor, combined with the sweetness of the corn tortillas made for an excellent way to…

Off to Mexico…

14 Aug 2007, Posted by Jennifer Iannolo in travel

I feel like I just un-packed, but I am now re-packed for our jaunt to Mexico. Chef Mark and I are off to shoot a custom series that we’ll talk about very soon, and we’re rather excited about it. We shall taste, drink and shoot our way through the environs of Guadalajara and the Jalisco region, where you can be sure we’ll be sipping some Tequila. ;) I’m not sure what our hi-speed access will be like, but we’ll do our best to keep things updated from the road. Yes, remember, we’re the web monkeys, too. It’s a good life….
