Botanas Bar

Botanas Bar

What Mark thinks about, more than anything, is food. When we get up in the morning, he immediately starts peppering me with ideas for tonight’s dinner, while all I’m trying to do is find the coffee machine. Drives me completely nuts...

Salsa X-Ni-Pek

Salsa-x-ni-pek means “hot as a dog’s nose”. i.e., make sure you have a Michelada at hand while you’re eating!

Jicama Sticks

The combination of lime, salt and chili finds its way into lots of Mexican recipes. There’s even a great condiment powder called Tajin; sprinkle it on most anything for an instant kick.

The word 'delicatessen' is of German origin, 'delikatessen' which means delicacies, or an an abundance of good things to eat.

At one of New York's legendary delis, Zabar's, the average salary for a lox slicer with 10 years experience is $60,000 a year.

Americans consume more than 5 billion pounds of deli meats a year, including about 800 million pounds of bologna.
