Border Grill:  

Border Grill is the vibrant setting where Chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, Food Network’s “Too Hot Tamales”, present the bold foods and flavors of Mexico.  The Santa Monica-based restaurant serves upscale, modern Mexican food in a hip, urban cantina with decor as wild and bright as a fiesta.  Border Grill has established a new standard for gourmet Mexican fare in Los Angeles and consistently ranks among the L.A. Times’ top restaurants.  It has also been named “One of the Best Restaurants in America” by Gourmet.

Mesa Mexicana: 

In Mesa Mexicana, Mary Sue and Susan offer their unique interpretations of the tastes of coastal Mexico with a bold, colorful cuisine that excites the palate and satisfies a yen for earthy, rustic flavors without the heaviness of most standard fare. Best of all, the very healthy and inexpensive recipes can be made at home with minimal fuss. Many of the recipes in Mesa Mexicana appear on the menu at Border Grill to this day.

Cooking with Too Hot Tamales: 

Cooking with Too Hot Tamales, the companion book to the popular “Too Hot Tamales” Food Network series, captures Mary Sue and Susan’s sassy cooking style with over 150 recipes. Using traditional Mexican, Brazilian, Cuban, and Spanish flavors enhanced by creative, modern sensibilities, the pair create recipes that are accessible, yet funky and fun. Strategies for success in the kitchen are sprinkled throughout, including expert tips for throwing fabulous fiestas. Best of all, while the flavors are intricate and exotic, the techniques are simple, allowing cooks to enjoy their own parties and savor their own creations.

City Cuisine: 

Mary Sue and Susan’s groundbreaking cookbook City Cuisine is based on their first restaurant. This critically acclaimed overview of world cuisine from two of America's most celebrated chefs is a must for collectors of quality cookbooks looking to expand their culinary vocabulary to include eclectic and adventurous recipes from India, Italy, Thailand, France, and China, not to mention Mexico, Greece, and America.
