Oaxacan Mole 3-Course Dinner Kit for 2
This kit is an at-home tour of Oaxaca! It starts with green almond soup (garnished with roasted chayote squash & potato) and continues with grilled heritage-breed chicken breast topped with their famous mole negro. Black beans and chile-laced green beans complement the chicken, and for dessert, chocolate pecan pie bars! Also included are handmade tortillas made with organic heirloom corn from Oaxaca, Mexico.
Back in 1987, Chef Rick Bayless and his wife, Deann Groen Bayless, had just returned to Chicago from an extended stay in Mexico, where they had been researching their first book. They decided to open a restaurant that tasted and felt like their travels, so they hung colorful Mexican folk art on the walls, turned up the Mariachi music, and packed the menu with the foods that reminded them of their travels through Mexico. Frontera Grill was born, and it was an immediate sensation. Since then, Bayless has been nominated for a whopping 16 James Beard Awards and won seven, and Frontera Grill took the top prize, Outstanding Restaurant, in 2007. Frontera Grill remains one of the best and most legendary and influential Mexican restaurants in the country.
