The National Pork Board wants you to eat more of “the other white meat” and got Puerto Rico-born, Miami-based, Asian-gastropub-owning chef José Mendín to share how he makes Michoacan-style pork carnitas.

- 250 g chicken breast
- French fries
- Sandwich cheese

Fake News Video: One Pot Cooking for Men: ‘Rosarito Beach Tacos’
FAKE NEWS! We don’t think this is how they make tacos in Baja’s Rosarito Beach. And while there may be just one pot in the headline, there is also a pan in the video. ALTERNATIVE FACTS? We also notice a distinct lack of
- Salsa
- Cebolla
- Cilantro.
Ground turkey? K what? And where did the beans come from? SOMEONE ELSE’S POT?
Have your microwave send us a GIF, otherwise no dice.
We’ve got your basic 2-hour-long mariachi music video right here
Why, we asked ourselves, would these RelaxMusic people upload scores of allegedly ethnic or national background music videos to YouTube? If people play them as background audio, they will not be looking at — and clicking on — ads, so the uploaders will not make money. Is it a public service? Some kind alternative facts thing? We don’t know. On the other hand, you can enjoy two hours of uncredited, unnamed mariachi (and other Mexican) muzak right here.
