Primer Encuentro de Cocineras Tradicionales de Yucatán

So this awesome food festival ran all weekend and was such big fun I schlepped myself all the way up to the middle of nowhere on the bus not once but twice.

The idea is to showcase Mexican regional specialties as well as unity through difference (I may have misunderstood that part).

The food corridor was lined with wood-burning ovens and all of the tortillas were made fresh by hand or by hand and tortilla press.

Last night I had some awesome food from Ligia Araceli May Baas, from Sanahcat (a polcone, relleno negra and a salbut). Today I had some so-so chaya based dishes from one vendor and an amazing carnitas taco (a la Michoacan) from Antonia Gonzalez Leandro.

Carnitas. Drool.
