Chancho, fried pork belly, at Chimu.

Need a visual aid for your print edition? Jonathan Gold visits Chimoº. ("The first time I was there, the guy behind the counter apologized for the commonness of pork belly, which he insisted had become a cliche, but Chimoº's chancho, thick slabs of belly braised then fried to a supernal crunch, is the best dish in the restaurant, smeared with a spicy black-mint aioli and nestled into a bed of barley cooked down with tomatoes.")
