James Beard Award-nominated TV host Chef Pati, Host of "Pati's Mexican Table," joins Cheddar to celebrate National Guacamole Day! We ask whether avocados are simply trending right now, or if this new international embrace of the fruit has staying power. Chef Pati notes that although avocados have taken some time to become the global phenomenon that they are now, the fruit is around for the long haul.We also speak with her about the recent shortages in California and Mexico that have caused the price of avocados to rise. She notes that the prices will not always stay as high as they are, but that the increase is part of a natural cycle when something becomes popular. And can you eat too many avocados? Chef Pati gives us her dietary secrets by telling us that she eats an avocado a day - a third of one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
