    Winner of Bravo's Top Chef Masters and America's authority on Mexican
    cuisine to join celebrated Mexican chefs to shine a spotlight on authentic
    tastes of Mexico





    
</pre>
<p>NEW YORK and IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO, <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Dec. 7, 2010</span> /CNW/ -- FOOD & WINE announced today that award-winning chef and author <span class="xn-person">Rick Bayless</span> of the acclaimed Frontera Grill <span class="xn-location">Chicago</span> will be the featured chef at the inaugural FOOD & WINE Festival in Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo. The event, held on March 26-28, 2011, is hosted by FOOD & WINE in conjunction with the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Convention and Visitors Bureau. During the festival, Bayless will join forces with acclaimed chefs and mixologists from throughout <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> to guide attendees on a palate-expanding journey of the country's cuisine set in the Pacific Coast paradise. Together, the chefs will host three days of cooking demonstrations, tastings, seminars and intimate tours of the local culinary community to honor the philosophy of "32 tastes, 1 history, 1 soul."</p>
<p/>
<p>Bayless, noted for creative and contemporary Mexican cuisine, is credited with introducing Americans to an authentic Mexican epicurean experience. This year, Bayless was invited to prepare a meal at the White House state dinner honoring Mexican <span class="xn-person">President Felipe Calderon</span>. His passion for <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> comes from years studying Spanish language and Latin American Studies, and the time he spent living in <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> while writing his now-classic cookbook, Authentic Mexican: Regional Cooking from the Heart of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> (<span class="xn-person">William Morrow</span>, 1987).</p>
<p/>
<p>"I'm thrilled to participate in this festival and share with travelers a glimpse into the beautiful country that has inspired so much of my career," said Bayless. "In Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, you'll find a real appreciation for authentic cuisine, making this a perfect destination for the first-ever FOOD & WINE Festival in Latin America. Travelers can enjoy the bounty of a picturesque fishing village, and the unparalleled service of some of the best five-star resorts. I'm looking forward to working with the country's top culinary talent during this weekend celebration."</p>
<p/>
<p>"We are honored to have <span class="xn-person">Rick Bayless</span> join us for the inaugural FOOD & WINE festival as we usher in a new era of celebrating the food of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>. There simply is no better ambassador to help guests in our country experience the best cuisine of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>," said Higinio de Leon, Chairman of the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Convention and Visitors Bureau. Bayless joins a group of noted chefs and sommeliers from across <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span>.</p>
