Pati’s Mexican Table Season Eight transports us to a region of Mexico largely unseen by the outside world. Stretching along northern Mexico’s west coast — from the majestic Sierra Madre mountain range to the small towns sprinkled along the beaches of the Pacific, and through fertile farmland between natural rivers and man-made dams — Pati crisscrosses the state of Sinaloa, considered Mexico's breadbasket. Exploring by road, by sea, by train, by foot, and even by mule, she learns why the people of Sinaloa are so proud of their regional cuisine, traditional sourcing and cooking techniques, and unique ingredients.

On this season of Pati’s Mexican Table, Pati explores Nuevo León, a sprawling northeastern border state draped in dazzling mountains and miles of desert.
