New Fronteras

Rick Bayless casts a very long shadow.

I don’t know exactly how many cooks have worked for him since he and his partner Deann opened Frontera Grill in 1987, but it’s probably fair to say hundreds if not thousands of chefs have worn their clogs out in the Frontera kitchens.

Despite that, a relatively small number of cooks have been able to shine on their own relative to the blazing sun that is Bayless.
