We explore the fascinating syncretism between ancient Aztec underworlds and European Catholic traditions, decode the strict meaning behind every single item on the altar, and travel across the country to see how different indigenous communities celebrate. Plus, Joshua shares a spicy (but loving) hot take on why the modern internet trend of "minimalist" altars completely misses the point.

Discover how two newly born nations forged an unbreakable bond in 1821.

    Why Mexican Barbacoa and American BBQ Are NOT the Same.

    🔹 Sign up for a 7-day Free Trial of Spanish Classes:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠ Did you know that the American "BBQ" and the traditional Mexican "Barbacoa" share the exact same Caribbean root word, yet evolved into two completely different culinary masterpieces? 🍖🔥 Joshua ties on an apron to settle one of the greatest linguistic and culinary confusions in North America. Assuming that BBQ and Barbacoa are simple translations of each other is a massive, delicious mistake. We travel back in time to explore the ancient Mayan concept of underground cooking (el pib), the agave-steamed perfection of authentic Mexican lamb, and how the technique migrated north to become the smoke-ringed pride of the American South.

We are traveling through the deserts of the North, the culturally blended Center, and the ancient Mayan jungles of the South to uncover the regional masterpieces that use the tortilla as a canvas. Plus, you will learn the strict, unspoken street etiquette required to eat a taco without ruining your shoes.

We explore how a nation determined to showcase its modernity delivered some of the greatest design, technological, and athletic achievements of the 20th century.
