Our Pork Belly AL PASTOR is flying.

Making any dish with Pastor Adobo is a tight skill.
You want to get that charred finish. The right consistency and coating of the adobo on the meat.

You need to understand solubility, viscosity, aromatic impact compounds, maillard browning and functional seasoning. The first recipe I developed when I started cooking at 15 years old.... that was about 5 years ago ๐Ÿ˜ณ

I know.

Chef years are like dog years. Every year feels like 7.

Much love

What would young people should work in hospitality?

Anything there's to learn about anything. You can learn working in hospitality.

Science, psychology, economics, finance, marketing, art, history. You name it. You can learn it.

We got Tostadas. And we're not afraid to use them.

Hake, Kiwi, Lime, Jalapeรฑo, Avocado, Cantaloupe. Prickly pear, Micro Herbs.

We've told these are mean tostadas, these slap and slap hard.

And if you're really nice, we promise we'll send Smokey himself to run it to your table and explain why this works.

Much Love and Maximum Respect ๐Ÿ™
