There is no way to properly describe the magic that is Taco Rice. It somehow takes elements of Tex Mex and Japanese cuisine and marries them together in perfect harmony. It was created to appease American military personnel stationed in Okinawa and stuck around to become one of their most popular dishes. Think taco salad, but instead of tortillas it is served over sushi rice. There is obviously A MILLION ways to customize this dish to your liking, and this is a good base to start with.
In this episode, I sit down with Krista Kern Desjarlais, chef and owner of The Purple House, as well as Bresca & The Honey Bee. She also operated one of the most well-regarded and missed Portland eateries, Bresca. We delve into her professional restaurant career – past, present, and future. I confess to my love of white chocolate. It’s very exciting. You’ll love it. Please enjoy.
