Chefs Speak: Rick Bayless’s Rooftop Garden
ByWe love this one. This new video featuring Rick Bayless was just published yesterday and comes to us via Earthbox, which is a maintenance free, water saving gardening system perfect for urban areas.
Chef Rick Bayless uses the Earthboxes for his urban rooftop garden for Frontera Restaurant in Chicago. In the video, Rick speaks about how freshness is used to expose the Mexican culture in Chicago. He discusses working with local farmers as suppliers, sustainability, and organics. Rick also speaks about a wonderful program that he has initiated to provide grants to local family farms.
For our recipe lovers, Rick Bayless has several authentic Mexican recipes on his site here, and we also have a collection of short recipes that he has shared on Twitter. If you visit Chicago, treat yourself to Rick’s newly opened restaurant, XOCO. It has received countless fantastic online reviews already, and features contemporary expressions of Mexico’s most beloved street foods.

I’m sure I’ve already expressed my love for Rick Bayless and his passion for what he does.
I am very curiuos about these EarthBoxes. I want one!
Heidi, thanks so much for dropping by and leading me here… Can’t wait to explore and hey, you have one of my favourite chefs in this post!
Debo, check out the Earthbox link for more information, they can send you a catalog, and have a forum on their site. And fully agree on the RB admiration! He also tweeted this link on Twitter which was so nice.
Cynthia, our pleasure, hope to see you here again soon!
Rick’s comments makes one want to go to Chicago immediately and try what seems to be authentic Mexican cuisine -outside Mexico. The spinach sounds delicious and the roof top garden is breathtaking.
Nadine, I fully agree and his passion for Mexican food and culture is so endearing. Thank you for visiting.
