The Ultimate Puebla Foodie Experience

Chefs on a Plane is an invite-only network of New York's top 100 chefs & mixologists who travel to Puebla for a seasonal, behind-the-scenes experience of Mexico's food and culture -- mezcal safari included.

They come back from the trip with one mission: featuring a fusion recipe in their restaurant or bar, so all New Yorkers can enjoy a taste of Puebla at their favorite spots.
