Home of Tnt (Tequila and Tacos, a beachside gourmet taco bar), COMAL, and miles upon miles of beach and seaside sights that I thought only existed in travel magazines. Dinner at COMAL, a culinary adventure by this panel of great chefs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218320470-1Q0GOL2DCB6LCCSRDADA/IMG_7297.jpg Special Projects - And of course, when in the company of locals, you do as the locals do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218731713-4JF55IBBL83VRZW9JF14/IMG_7424.jpg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218289959-OZHWE01F1QNGV9VIAFW1/image-asset.jpeg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579219423030-SPMVX82Z9FT4SWQ251PV/IMG_7538.jpg Special Projects - And then Nagini and I had a bonding moment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579217609283-W4DZEHXURNH54T2OMUA2/IMG_7107.jpg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579139023182-PVVR4MKJB2WDGTTW5TD2/IMG_7148.jpg Special Projects - Foodies rejoice.

Cabo San Lucas, or Los Cabos, is where summer is endless, everything is beautiful and nothing hurt. Okay – may be an over exaggeration, but not by much. Cabo’s climate is considered a tropical desert climate, which is ideal for vacationing, tourism, water sports and infinite beach time for most of the year. A popular destination for nightlife and leisure travelers, Cabo is the perfect location for cultural and fine dining experiences alike. And of course, the food is fresher than fresh. Native to the waters of the Sea of Cortez is Cabo’s diverse sea life, amazing to see via scuba and snorkel but also exquisite for fine dining, which was what drew me there in the first place. Needless to say, I was blown away at the pure abundance Los Cabos has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218132930-2Q02T65KP9W94YH6Y4HS/IMG_7301.jpg Special Projects - Dinner tastes better when you catch it yourself. Once we had our nets full, we shucked chocolate clams right there in the hot sand. Add a little lime, a little spice and some hot sauce... foodgasm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579138770317-0YJXFV95HIJKPCXMRES3/IMG_7146.jpg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579217846836-QPI9QTPVV5BVOJ0ISEHZ/IMG_7256.jpg Special Projects - Land ho! And then we transitioned from land to sea. We met up at the "local fishing spot" (read as secret spot in the middle of nowhere) and took to the water to find our coveted Chocolate Clams, a beautiful species of shellfish only native to the Sea of Cortez in Baja Mexico. We would be cooking with them later that day and we had to earn our catch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1578252960390-7T15ODCNSS2A1BZ3TKQR/IMG_7109.jpg Special Projects - First destination: Esperanza Resort.

And since I was on a "working vacation", interruptions were welcomed. So here we have "Tequila Con Vibora", or Rattlesnake Tequila, a delicacy in Mexico that is said to have medicinal qualities. I was immediately drawn to the allure of this weird concoction and naturally stepped up the challenge when offered a shot. How did it taste? Sssssswell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218556917-SBL3MGLDEE9T0XJVSEMY/IMG_7402.jpg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218967110-0F89T4NPNR596GQ3YMXB/IMG_7596.jpg Special Projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579138547417-QEQKUU2H1I752MR6RIAA/IMG_7090.jpg Special Projects - Cocina del Mar Cocina Del Mar, Esperanza's clifftop sea-to-kitchen dining experience, was the perfect mix of beachy and modern.

Cabo San Lucas, or Los Cabos, is where summer is endless, everything is beautiful and nothing hurt. Okay – may be an over exaggeration, but not by much. Cabo’s climate is considered a tropical desert climate, which is ideal for vacationing, tourism, water sports and infinite beach time for most of the year. A popular destination for nightlife and leisure travelers, Cabo is the perfect location for cultural and fine dining experiences alike. And of course, the food is fresher than fresh. Native to the waters of the Sea of Cortez is Cabo’s diverse sea life, amazing to see via scuba and snorkel but also exquisite for fine dining, which was what drew me there in the first place. Needless to say, I was blown away at the pure abundance Los Cabos has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579139626664-K9X0A3EIZZ6AKB04Y2S8/IMG_7188.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218353938-QIJYBHJASDD2223U6AOL/IMG_7391.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579138409860-0T8UPD6BFXAV19I58J0H/IMG_7139.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1633377784736-76ZJ0OPOA1U4J9G8YWPI/IMG_7105.jpeg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://www.piquantphoto.com/cabo-san-lucas-copy-1 daily 0.75 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218194310-C1QYFSUELQDSY1TE7OLY/IMG_7303.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579138706455-ZTX3ZOEHCZX78IT11NY9/IMG_7105.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579138770317-0YJXFV95HIJKPCXMRES3/IMG_7146.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218556917-SBL3MGLDEE9T0XJVSEMY/IMG_7402.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579217718060-WU33GEYRYCOONT7EOQ4W/IMG_7387.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218731713-4JF55IBBL83VRZW9JF14/IMG_7424.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218132930-2Q02T65KP9W94YH6Y4HS/IMG_7301.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) - Dinner tastes better when you catch it yourself.

We woke up very early and hopped in our badass ride of the day — a fancy Polaris dune buggy - and went off. the. grid. No cell service and barely electricity, only mountains and forests and oceans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218164000-VWDJATHTAWRTJ9WNHMGI/IMG_7316.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218289959-OZHWE01F1QNGV9VIAFW1/image-asset.jpeg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579219001639-S907ATNPUTNE9IYY8568/IMG_7472.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) Nothing can quite compete with the views, food and hospitality of Los Cabos. This destination is a MUST SEE for any curious and hungry traveler with an open mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579217592897-5FSI8KE7YGNREGKJB5I9/image-asset.jpeg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579139856873-2SHHTN3N4VKF50SOVZ76/IMG_7221.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579219205526-W2G6GUQP2KN0DNHKRRY7/IMG_7495.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) - Chef Yvan Muncharraz, an actual Disney prince, walked us through his process of smoking brisket and Chocolate Clams the Baja way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1588890827900-WXBO6V2QJSE8YGWF0V32/unnamed.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1579218686890-7F4PYL202IPHGU1BYW6R/IMG_7423.jpg Cabo San Lucas (Copy) - Second destination: Chileno Bay Resort. Home of Tnt (Tequila and Tacos, a beachside gourmet taco bar), COMAL, and miles upon miles of beach and seaside sights that I thought only existed in travel magazines. Dinner at COMAL, a culinary adventure by this panel of great chefs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53ef96c1e4b015b9c36a102a/1633377784736-76ZJ0OPOA1U4J9G8YWPI/IMG_7105.jpeg Cabo San Lucas (Copy)
