Rick enjoys driving trough southern California to near the Mexican border, although part of the legendary road is hazard-closed, praising the great and beneficial culinary influence of the Latino neighbors. The dairy-rich chowder is exemplary of (near-)over the top Californian (and US) cuisine. Sea urchins are an underrated discovery, like the fisherman's laid-back sailing lifestyle. A pioneering pixie (seedless) tangerine orchard allows a plea to respect, not ban, Mexican harvesters and other migrant laborers without whom much of the US agriculture and some other business wouldn't be viable.
