Jonathan Legg is from California and he thinks he knows Mexican cuisine. This notion gets shattered as he experiences the onslaught of food in Mexico city! Between trying scorpion tacos and dodging shady markets in San Juan, he learns the dark art of sacred drinks, like pulque and mezcal, now turned into social libations. His journey also takes him to Oaxaca where he gets the low down on the fabled Mole sauce, and a long haul to a remote village reveals a secret ceremony that has origins of dark arts!
