Episode 901: Day of the Dead | Rick Bayless "Mexico: One Plate at a Time"

- Rick takes us on a remarkable journey through Oaxaca City during the revered Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) holiday. We discover that in Mexico death is embraced as part of the circle of life. During the holiday, people welcome home the spirits of their ancestors who come to commune with their families and friends. Like all visitors, the ancestors are welcomed with food, drink, music and memories. The spirit’s presence is a blessing and brings joy to loved ones.
In preparation for the celebration, the last days of October are spent preparing aromatic loaves of pan de muerto (sweet bread), making mole, harvesting special flowers, including marigolds (cempasúchil) and creating commemorative altars in homes. Grave sites are decorated with elaborate sand paintings. The bustling Central de Abastos market in Oaxaca is overflowing with flowers and bread. At the home of Rick’s friends, we learn to make Andres’ family’s black mole, tostadas topped with avocado leaf-infused black beans, a classic, smoky Oaxacan salsa and a simple guacamole. From the Panteon General to Xoxocotlan’s Municipal Cemetery, Rick gives us an insider’s look at the annual fiesta that richly blends Catholic and indigenous traditions with celebratory food.

The Mexican people have soul! What love and care. Family, food, colour and light! Thank you Rick and your team for showing us this.

One chef once said- Mexican food is what made America taste good again. With all the new flavors I think he's right.
Day of the Dead is such a beautiful way to honor your family tree.
Mexican traditions are so beautiful. Thank you for the video Rick!
Good episode, Rick. When I retire from work in 87 days I have plans to visit Mexico City. I already know about Tijuana. Great place. 👍
One advice I would give you is to use Uber as opposed to taxi cabs, it's safer and cheaper.

When we were living in New Mexico, we would go to Juarez every few weeks. I was 8 years at the time and Mexican culture made a lasting impression on me. I am 75 now and still love all things Mexican, especially the music and food. I discovered Rick Bayless and Patti Jinich on PBS many years ago and have learned much about Mexican cooking from them! Thank you, Rick, for this trip to Oaxaca!
Rick, I have been watching you since I was a young child. I am now 32 years old and I want to say thank you for teaching me so much about my cultura. I will make sure my future kids watch your shows. 🫶
When I taught at a school in Little Village in Chicago, I remember buying sugar skulls for my students. Great memories 💥
Thank you Rick for this vlog. As an American with Mexican ancestry, this day became more important to me when I lost my parents, brothers and nephews. Today I have my personal ofrenda to honoring those whom I love. I continue to learn from you, thank you.
Thank you for this beautiful vlog. The Mexican culture is a true celebration of life and death. The comals for tortilla making are incredible. I learn so much from you, thank you.
Just as I was about to say that Mediterranean food is the best…my mind stays with Mexican food
💯
1:10 after all these years living and breathing the culture, never not once did it occur to me that the Day of the Season IS akin to Thanksgiving. 🎃
Feliz dia de los MUERTOS ❤
My favorite season of the year is Fall! Full of colors, textures, smells and the best dishes of the year. Starting with chiles en nogada, bread, exquisite dishes for Day of the Dead, beverages such as atoles, sweets of all kinds, in particular pumpkin, sweet potatoes, buñuelos and OMG, my favorite, tamales!! Enjoy!!
We visited Oaxaca many years ago. We got there a few days later but Oaxaca is a beautiful region of Mexico.
Always something great cooking here especially
from the South of the Border.🤠🙏
☕🌶🧄🌽🥔🥩🥓🌮🌯🫔🍽
Thanks for this episode. Lived in Dallas in the early 1980s. Rick was an iconic chef there even then! So envious of the incredible street market!
Our family's favorite celebration! Unas memorias de corazon muy especial. ❤
Gracias Rick
I am so glad you posted this video and the recipe for black mole from Oaxaca. I was finally able to successfully grow chilhuacle chiles (black, red and yellow) in Southern California. They are drying now and will become a good mole in the near future. Thank you for these great recipes.
Beautiful video , full of culture , colors, people and of course delicious food ! 😋😍👍🏼💯
Thank you for providing this video. It is a lovely background on the Day of the Dead celebration. I made some delicious Quesadillas de Maria, the food is so yummy.
What a beautiful episode. So interesting. The day of the dead rolls reminds me of hot crossed buns. Not to sweet or dense. Thanks Rick!
Thank you for a great vlog about the vibrant Mexican culture. ❤
How utterly interesting and lovely. Thank you, Rick. Absolutely beautiful.
This whole episode was AMAZING!! Looking forward to trying out the pan recipe. THANKYOU 😊
It's wonderful - all the good food all over town, and you go to the cemetery and clean the graves and update the dead relatives on what's been going on and eat good food. And then you go home and have the live relatives over for more food.
Rick! Thanks for such lovely video.
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO THANK YOU SO MUCH MR RICK AND TONY…..THE FOOD THATS UNIC AND DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
NUESTRAS TRADICIONES SON ÚNICAS Y HERMOSAS Y NUESTRA COMIDA ES DE LA MEJOR DEL MUNDO. NUESTRAS COSTUMBRES SON RESPETADAS!!!!✨

Nosotros los mexicanos 🇲🇽tenemos el poder de regresar incluso desde la mismísima Muerte 💀para volver a comer nuestro platillo favorito 😂🤤🌮🍻
Ending of a year celebration when death occurs that life begin a new year.
Is not dia de Los muertos. Is dia de muertos.
I am from Chicago, born in Mexico, Mexico City to be exact and I visited Rick's restaurants just to be horribly disappointed with the taste of the food. To someone that is not Mexican and doesn't know how something is supposed to taste, I can see how you would think his food is good but I found it to be tasteless and not well executed it just looks pretty.
As a Mexican I understand the coping mechanism of cemetery decorations in a country going through genocide proverbially. As a Christian I'm going to say just don't do so in the name of God and certainly do not go home and offer any of this to him.
Don't be offended I'm applying the golden rule.
Saludos a ti tu familia y hermano Skip !
