Pork in the Time of Swine Flu: Mexico City's Pig Cuisine, Snout to Hoof
Highland Park's Antojitos Chilangos and Metro Balderas
Deprived of tacos de nana? No longer. The carnitas of hog uterus here is chewy yet forgiving, pink and yet not, whorled in swoops and paisley shapes that defy Euclidian geometry. Lard-braised uterus has an odd flavor, briny yet not salty, high yet earthy, alien yet oddly familiar, the Earth contained in a corn tortilla.
Antojitos Chilangos: 5528 York Blvd., Highland Park, (323) 255-1042. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cash only. No alcohol. Lot parking. Takeout and delivery. $ Recommended dishes:pambazos; gorditas; sopes.
