What the creator captured
Mark Wiens explored the legendary Sonoran beef culture in Tucson, declaring it some of the best carne asada in the United States. He was particularly impressed by the smoky, fatty flavor of the costillas and the unique, spongy texture of the grilled calf testicles. The experience was heightened by the atmosphere of Tacos Apson, a restaurant themed after his friend's father-in-law's 1960s rock band.
