Well, it looks like the mother ship is heading home: Rick Bayless will open a restaurant in Mexico. The celeb chef announced via Twitter that he'll open Xipe in Mexico City's Colonia Condesa neighborhood, nicknamed Condechi, which has long attracted globetrotting hipsters. The restaurant will open in 2012 and, as Bayless said, "2 bring tru flavors of Mx food to Mexico." Because Mexican cuisine there has clearly suffered from being bland all these years. [OC Weekly]
