Episode #39 - Diana Dávila of Mi Tocaya Antojería

Our guest this week cut her culinary teeth at her parents’ restaurants, where she witnessed firsthand what it takes to run a successful operation, and Oaxaca’s Seasons of the Heart Culinary school, where she opted to go instead of Paris. This devotion to heritage, augmented by an almost mystical creative approach, has helped her find success as the chef-owner of Logan Square’s lauded Mi Tocaya Antojería. Chef Diana Dávila joins us for a captivating conversation that covers her years at Butter and beyond, enticing Mexican dishes that are new to us, and where dreams and cooking intertwine.
