Chef Bayless’ 13 TV shows from Yucatán to air soon
ByYucatán Magazine
Rick Bayless shares a sneak peek of his Yucatecan-themed season.
Chef Rick Bayless’s TV show returns to the U.S. airwaves Sept. 16 — in less than a month. Why are we so excited about a show that has already entertained us for 10 seasons?
Because Season 11 is all about Yucatán. The entire 13-episode season of “Mexico, One Plate at a Time” is devoted to the cuisine and culture of the Peninsula.
Rick Bayless’ first day of filming included a meal at Manjar Blanco in Santa Ana, Mérida.

Throughout 13 weeks, Bayless will guide viewers to the fresh fruit of Valladolid, grilling Tikin Xic at the beach, and smoking meat in Temozón.
