Pati's Mexican Table: Season 8, Episode 6

8 - 6: El Fuerte, Magic Town

Pati travels to the northern part of Sinaloa and the town of El Fuerte, one of Mexico's "Pueblos Mágicos" or magic towns. El Fuerte was founded in 1563 right at a bend in the Fuerte river. Now a quiet colonial town, for over 300 years it was the most important commercial and agricultural center in northwest Mexico. After a walking tour and a stop at the Hotel Posada Hidalgo to try their famous cauques, a local type of langoustine, Pati creates a few lobster recipes in her kitchen inspired by the experience.
