This week, we taste the sweeter side of Mexican cuisine with chef Fany Gerson.

Plus, we take a seat at the Noir Bar with writer and television host Eddie Muller, who infuses classic cocktails with a cinematic twist; Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett of “A Way With Words” unpack the history hidden in your spice cabinet; and we prepare a very crispy Korean Fried Chicken. (Originally aired June 2, 2023.)
