What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was astonished by the traditional carnitas preparation in Boyle Heights, specifically the 'meat jacuzzis' of copper pots where pork simmers for five hours. He found the combination of rich, fatty pork and acidic pickled jalapeno juice to be a life-changing flavor experience. His ultimate highlight was the 'burnt ends' taco, which he described as the most condensed pig flavor possible in a single bite.
