Do you Zapoteca?

Or a better question might be: Do you know Shannon Bard's food?   She competes tonight on another fine episode of Food Network's Beat Bobby Flay.  Let's just say I'm pulling for the State of Maine.

Folks often ask if get to eat the food on cooking shows and food shoots, and sometimes I do.  In this case I ate every last thing that flew out of Zapoteca's kitchen with sheer delight, and might have even sampled a couple of fancy margaritas.  Let's just call it motivation to work quickly...  Thanks again for the hospitality Shannon, I look forward to seeing you at a happy hour again soon!
