      A TW I hope he applies to that to his own restaurants. I ate at his new place in Atlantic City and it was honestly not half as good as a restaurant that would cost half as much. Pretty disappointed. I imagine though it's hard to stay on top of a restaurant & maintain quality control when you're also running a TV show (which is why I usually stay away from any "this restaurant is owned by That Guy On TV" places.)

    A very popular recipe in Mexico is to marinate the carnitas in Coca-Cola (the mexican one, the one with cane sugar). I think that if you boil the pork with coke and the add some more before you put them in the oven (to glaze the sugar) it will be very tasty. Also, try to use some other cuts (pork calf and ribs are excellent cuts to make carnitas) and combine all in the taco, it will make it awesome. In Mexico we use all the parts of the pork and combine it in the same taco (what is call "surtida" spanish word for "assorted"). You should try it, I´am form Mexico and use to breakfast this a lot in local markets (yes we serve this as a breakfast dish) and my uncle use to do this

    That recipe necessitates a bottle of MEXICAN COCA-COLA.. it has cane sugar NOT HFCS.
    or a clove and some brown sugar at same point the liquids are added. 😎
    That’s the OG street method(not the brown sugar and clove,, that’s just for those unable to get the Mexican Coke)
    Chef Johns is a very traditional - yet modern take on carnitas! YUM!

My slow-cooker "carnitas" were so succulent and crispy (when finished off under the broiler), they were a huge hit with my tasting crowd. Hmm. Say, Chef John Food Wishes; do you think this might work in the slow-cooker using your creme freshe recipe, or would you still recommend milk in that regard, since we wouldn't be suing the remaining juice?

      pork for chicken - sure, but it wont get the same amazing juiciness you get from the pork shoulder.

    Braised pork is good. There ain't nothing wrong with this tasty braised pork. But for the love of all that is good, IF YOU'RE NOT SUBMERGING IT IN LARD, DON'T CALL IT CARNITAS. Otherwise, what is language even for?

    I feel like people don’t cook tortillas long enough on a griddle /flat comal. The feeling is from being at peoples houses and going to some restaurants that aren’t really Mexican restaurants and getting tortillas that aren’t cut long enough they’re not meant to be pulled out of a bag and filled with fillings cook tortillas people...

    I just happened to buy carnita meat today wondering what recipe I was going to use. Looks like delisciousness on a plate except I need to incorporate some spice. (Like Habanero hot). What John, no spice for you? Not even Cayenne?

    An old German woman once told me to quit wasting money on expensive cuts of beef. Buy the cheaper cuts of meat and soak them overnight in milk, preferably buttermilk. She didn't lie! Even improves the taste of chicken.

    A couple tips....Just say "hell no!" to veg oil. Use lard instead. Add 4-5 garlic cloves and 2-3 Bay leaves and you'd not be sorry.

    Chef John, a long time ago (4-5 yrs) I came across a video of your that included refried beans. It was NOT the main dish in the video but they were delicious. The video that is on the page for refined beans is not the same. It had butter and oregano etc. did not have garlic as the newer video does. If you receive this msg, could you like the old video. I literally went through your library but must have missed it

    I strongly disagree with browning this in vegetable oil I would use beef tallow, or even
    Gee…. way better flavor and you’re not using a toxic oil that causes inflammation.

    I've made caritas for decades. I've used the milk method and honestly can't tell the difference. I save my milk for other dishes.

    FYI: For an authentic taste you should use Mexican Coca Cola because it is made with can sugar. Not the American Coca Cola. Also use lard when browning the meat.

    I made these and the result was excellent but I still prefer your version that gets put in the oven in a foil sealed baking dish. Both are excellent

    Chef John, I love you man and I'm sure this recipe is great. But when it comes to carnitas, If they're not cooked for hours in lard, it's not true carnitas.

    I love your videos, and please don't take this personally, but the inflection at the end of your sentences is almost Australian in as much as your voice goes higher in places you shouldn't and it really grinds on me (just my opinion, i still watch all the videos and i'm not being a troll )
