Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Gonzalo Guzman has really climbed the ranks as a chef. When he first came to the United States from Mexico, he worked as a dishwasher at several different restaurants. Since then, he has worked his way up to become a head chef and partner of Nopalito, which has two locations and is one of the most popular restaurants in San Francisco. We hung out with Gonzalo for a night out in SF to see how where he hangs on one of his rare days off. After heading out from the 9th Avenue location of Nopalito, Gonzalo makes his first stop at Nopa, the parent restaurant of Nopalito and the place where Gonzalo made his mark as a chef. The group shares guacamole and tequila cocktails, and then it's off to the Mission. The next stop is Lolo, one of the few Mexican restaurants Gonzalo trusts, for carnitas, octopus, and margaritas. For the final stop of the night, the gang dips to ABV for cheeseburgers and mezcal. The night is capped off at Nopalito on Broderick with cochinita pibil and a few beers, but not too many-after all, Gonzalo had work at 7 AM the next morning

a bit too unpretentious and honest, a touch of hipster douchbaggery was needed, great person the chef, wish he had brought in some friends other than the 2 people who work with him. The episode could have been better with more focus on the angle of -rags to riches chef story- and if it showed the chef with 2-3 of his struggle-days buddies going to the places they used to go back then.

I wanna know what part of Mexico this guy is from, because he has the stereotypical -Mexican voice. - I never thought I'd see and hear the stereotype with my own eyes LOL-From his appearance, my guess is Oaxaca. Which also happens to be the Mexican state from which most of the immigrants in California come from.

There's one good guy. Nice to see a polite talented chef on this series, man of the people, out visiting his buds and respecting the food rather than the usual dudes all inked up, drunk and loudmouthed and too cool for the hoi polloi that frequent their restaurants.

This reminds me everything I love and hate about San Francisco. The wanton gluttony of hipsters vs. people like Gonzalo, who has built the San Francisco culinary scene from behind the scenes with humility and insight via Mexico.

The Mexican people are one of the hardest working people in the world, they have always had my respect. This man is living proof as are many other millions of Mexican immigrants. Sit down, Donald, and stfu.

I knew he looked familiar. I saw him on Guys Triple D awhile back. His food looked amazing then and still does. I like this episode so far. Not some pretentious hipster douche bags.

He has a Mexican restaurant make mexican food at home so on his time off what does he eat Mexican food! Viva Mexico but variety is the spice of life you pillow chomperrrrr

Alright, I'll chug it. Takes a sip. -He has a similar personality to mine. He can have fun without getting intoxicated, being obnoxious or swearing excessively.

The guy has knowledge and is riding on it, but he's no wizard. Seems he is selling presentation to a crowed that will eat it up. Literally. Good for him.

So you have a mexican restaurant so what do you do on your chefs night out? You go to two mexican restaurants and eat more mexican food? Ok then.
