contest Vote! Mexican TD

[Avon Barksdale]

Ok I voted for Avon…

Not because he voted for me..but.....

because he did an awesome job under high pressure….making his favorite…..dealing with the camera.....and trying to show the effort he put forth with something I know he has done perfect at least 4 times before…..

Imagine if you will ..A man who knows what he's doing and able to present it to his close friends and family in perfection……

Then the camera doesn't do what its supposed to for the the web presentation, and oh damn I gota filp this and stir this…and…how am I gona get this camera to work…..

Avon…get yourself a camera that works good and learn how to use it… then enter another….you're a winner my man…make it happen..

But I am looking beyond all that frustration and seeing the heart and the determination behind this (and besides I realy want to learn how to make that and eat it..)...

So here's to you Avon...

Thank you, my man, but I definitely have never done it perfectly. While it was pretty damn good it still isn't quite as good as what the Mexican woman who taught me how to make it makes. I either cooked it just a little too long and/or at a little too high heat (it was hard to keep the grill below 400 even on the lowest setting, I was trying to jury-rig it keeping the lid slightly open). The end product wasn't quite as juicy as I would like or as when I had tried it earlier (when I probably should have stopped as it was almost perfect then).

The pickled radish/onion/habanero mix was a little strong and acidic for me as well, it was my first time making that for a topping. Pickled red onions is traditional but I like it more with just regular red onions and some chile de arbol salsa.

I'm looking at cameras though, hopefully I'll be able to get something in the next throwdown, this one was a lot of fun. Congratulations on your son by the way, that is great.

BTW, if any of you ever watch the movie "Once Upon A Time in Mexico", there's a 10 minute extra on the DVD that shows the director Robert Rodriguez making cochinita/puerco pibil, along with a recipe.
