For The Love  Of Tacos: Bill Esparza

For The Love Of Tacos: Bill Esparza

Prepare for your mouth to absolutely water with this week's deliciously fascinating conversation.

Bill Esparza, author of the book, LA Mexicano, and James Beard Award winner in journalism for his coverage of the LA taco scene, is considered one of the country's leading experts on Mexican food.

In addition to the curating services Bill provides for Los Angeles restauranteurs and venues including The Fields in downtown LA, Bill has also served as the behind-the-scenes curator and on-air contributor for numerous television projects including two seasons of Emmy award-winning The Migrant Kitchen, Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown, Andrew Zimmerman's, Bizarre Foods, I'll Have What Phil's Having, Huang's World and Top Chef.

Bill writes about Mexican food for LA Times, GQ Mexico, Roads & Kingdoms, Eater, Los Angeles Magazine, Food & Wine Magazine and others.

A noted saxophone player, Esparza has traveled and eaten extensively throughout Mexico, Latin America, and, of course, Southern California.

In today's episode we discuss:

  • The taco that he's currently obsessed with
  • How culture (and his abuela's kitchen) fueled his passion for food
  • His travels in Latin America and how his experiences influenced his life and writing
  • The evolution of the LA Mexican food scene
