Mexico: One Plate at a Time

I have been watching this show for years now, I literally start from the beginning and watch every season often, never growing tired of it. I am Mexican, so it's nice for me to see a gringo be so respectful of the land, culture, people, ancestry and food. I will say however, the dynamics between Rick & Laney are often times questionable. She stands way too close, stares at him longingly, and often portrays this little girl with a crush, act. His wife is hardly ever seen or are they portraying a married couple; one would think he and his daughter are the "couple"; makes it hard to not wonder!!!
