The second season of PATI'S MEXICAN TABLE dives deeper into both Mexico and the United States to explore some of the simple, approachable, mouth-watering dishes and ingredients that fuel host Pati Jinich's cuisine. This season, Pati visits her favorite south-of-the-border spots to uncover French twists on Mexican cooking, easy comfort food, fun birthday party treats, spicy tequila concoctions and hearty, back-to-basics meals. She marvels at the legendary floating gardens of Xochimilco, steps into the ring with lucha libre masked wrestlers, and ventures into the heart of the colonial city of Puebla, one of Mexico's culinary hubs, for a taste of the real Mexico. At the same time, Pati demystifies some of the more exotic ingredients in Mexican cooking by demonstrating how to find and handle cactus paddles, zucchini flowers, guava paste and more. She then combines these ingredients with recognizable, everyday staples like ground beef, chicken, oranges or pecans.
