2. Baby Corn with Chicatana Ants Smoky grilled baby corn (often heirloom varieties) topped with chicatana leafcutter ants for nutty, umami crunch, presented in a smoking husk-filled vessel.

6. Bluefin Tuna Crudo Sashimi-style bluefin with heart of palm juice, pico de gallo, and fermented elements for tangy brightness.

7. Grilled Rockfish with Butternut Squash Baja rockfish charred over wood, atop butternut puree with sherry foam and chilies. A hearty "Sea" highlight, it marries smoky char with autumnal sweetness—praised in 2025 for "elevating everyday fish to art," it's crucial for its nod to Mexico's Pacific bounty and seasonal finesse.

8. Gordita Snack Fluffy masa pocket stuffed with beans or chilies, fried crisp and served as an amuse-bouche.
