55. Mole: Chef Bricia Lopez & Boonville Barn Collective

Mole is a sauce derived from spices, dried chilies, seasonings, cocoa, and more. Each mole is different, and many are passed down from prior generations. Today we have the honor of speaking with Chef Bricia Lopez about her family’s incredible journey from Oaxaca to Los Angeles, the importance of community, and how she is keeping her family’s traditions alive.Then we take a trip back to Boonville, California, to speak with Krissy Scommegna & Nacho Flores about his childhood memories of Mole and how Boonville Barn Collective tends its chilies each year.Watch our interview on YouTube HERE!
