Looking for culinary inspiration? Mantra-Pattaya is just what you need!
The show is set in the United States. The development of this country’s culinary tradition has been heavily influenced by the many different cultures that are intermingled here. The host moves around the states in search of new, interesting, unusual operating diners, as well as new and unique recipes. You might come across establishments where truckers eat, and that would be a diner that serves pastrami sandwiches and fresh meat broth, whose meat can take ten days to prepare, according to a traditional recipe. Or, in another state, for example, you might come across two eateries that have been facing each other for decades, and they serve sandwiches with crab meat caught in the morning. Or you can also get into a café where there’s a smokehouse in the backyard made by the two brothers who own the place, and you can cook a hundred pounds of meat in it at a time.
You can see brief cooking techniques in the issues, which can’t help but please me as a person obsessed with cooking. The whole thing is like a video cookbook, where you can bookmark your favorite recipe.
