Last week I paid a visit to Garcia Mexican Restaurant in Tehran, to talk with chef and co-owner, Janet Garcia, about the lack of avocados in Iran, what it would mean to her personally and in terms of business to have access to great Hass avocados, and and to enjoy some of her wonderfully authentic Mexican dishes in the least likely of places.
A trip to Garcia is always does the trick: one of the happiest places in Tehran.
