Sobremesa: Six meals in Mexico, heritage without an address.

This is a submission for Frontend Challenge - Comfort Food Edition, Perfect Landing Mexico is our heritage. Yet, we have no family there to visit. That sounds sadder than it is. What it actually meant, for the years before my wife and I were married and most of our time off since, is that we had to go find it ourselves. No family kitchen waiting. No grandmother's recipe with an address attached. Just the two of us and a country that is ours and that we did not know. So we did what every hungry person in a new city does...we ate. Six cities, six completely different cuisines, and somewhere in there it stopped feeling like traveling. A tlayuda from a stand outside Santo Domingo in Oaxaca. An hour in line at El Yaqui with a michelada in Rosarito. Different food every time. Same feeling every time, and there is no English word for that feeling. There is a Spanish one. What I Built Sobremesa is the time you stay at the table after the food is gone, still talking. Not the meal. The part after the meal. That is the whole site. Six meals across six Mexican cities, and the thing it measures is not how good the food was. It is how long we stayed. Tijuana, one hour. Rosarito, two. Ensenada, one. Guadalajara, ninety minutes. Mexico City, two hours. Oaxaca, two. The page adds them up at the end. Nine hours and thirty minutes at six tables. Comfort food usually means a kitchen you can go back to. We do not have one over there. So the six tables became it. The stand at Plaza Santo Domingo is the family table. The hour in line at Tacos El Yaqui is the Sunday afternoon table. Each entry has the dish, where we ate it, one verified fact about the food, and one line that is just ours, from our experience.
