How Mexican Chefs in Vegas are Reviving an Ancient Technique

Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description

There’s a new trend sweeping Mexican cuisine, and you can find it right here in Las Vegas.

Today, we’re bringing back a conversation co-host Dayvid Figler had with Masazul chef Mariana Alvarado about she’s dedicating her life to bringing nixtamalized corn products to Las Vegas and where you can try them in our city.
