"Heavenly Bites: Mexico" on Netflix

A totally batsh#t crazy Mexican series on Netflix. Epsiode one covers variations on the Michelada and episode two is all things Dorilocos or Dorilocos-inspired*. Kind of stunty but fun.

*Tostitripos - a Tostitos-based walking taco with grilled tripe and toppings.

Yesterday I tried to watch the one about the Dorilocos, and chips in general. I had to turn it off. The camera work is fantastic to a point of almost nauseating. When they started the depiction of the Elotes with the cup lined with mayo, and nacho cheese, and then showed the extra layer of mayo on the top - it was way too much for me. I happily watch all the gore in the world, too - I generally have an iron stomach for such things. It was just way too over the top for me with all of the crystal clear filmwork of jiggly cheese and mayo. The camera work was fantastic, and the stories are probably great. I'll watch more of these. Matter of fact, I'ma fire a diff one up right now.

Much of it is stunt food but there are some entertaining moments. Netflix's other Mexican food series, Taco Chronicles, takes a more straightforward approach.

I will watch when I resubscribe to Netflix sometime. Some of their other food shows give so much time to the camera crews to get their shots on location that they just blow away the cable shows about food and travel from years past.
