What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was astonished by the traditional carnitas preparation in Boyle Heights, specifically the 'meat jacuzzis' where pork simmers in its own fat for five hours. He found the burnt ends taco to be a life-changing explosion of flavor, representing the most condensed pig flavor he had ever experienced. The highlight for him was the contrast between the rich, buttery pork and the acidity of the hand-squeezed pickled jalapeno juice.
