Much respect for this guy...he is in love with our culture ..he is in love with us....why the hate? if he is making money with our cousine....well he worked his ass....you hate because you are mexican ...not even real mexican because you are a pocho...do not hate...he is traveling and working hard in mexico while you are just sitting here hating and eating burgers....much respect for this guy he is doing something that you are not....

[@rhondarose8180]

whz can't we just learn from him or not watch at all

[@quiensoyyo900]

Amen...

[@joaquinbanuelos6046]

You lost my respect when you said "pochos" aren't real Mexicans. You're the type of Mexican that keeps other Mexicans down tbh.

[@megntx1]

EXACTLY! Rick Bayless doesn't fit the narrative that promotes division in our Country. And the hateful Left just plants seeds of discord every chance they get. He LOVES the Latin Culture and Honors it!

[@normavega6437]

The young Latinos who spew venom against Rick Bayless in many instances don't know what culture is about. Culture spreads. This is the way it works. It's constantly in motion, taking this or that from other cultures. Rick Bayless is keeping Mexican culture alive in the U.S. by educating Americans about Mexican food, its origins, its connections to regions. He always calls the dishes by their original Spanish names, he's constantly referencing its Mexican origins, and he learned not with chefs, but by going directly to the kitchens of townsfolk, and the cooks in street stalls. This is how you keep culture alive, by spreading it. As for the folks who think that culture is authentic or fake, please stop to consider that there is no such thing as "authentic" culture, because culture is simply always evolving by taking in the new and transforming the old. Do you claim that Mexicans appropriated Spanish food when they took garlic (which was brought by the Spaniards) and began to use it as one of the core ingredients in their food? How about mangos, tamarinds, onions, and pork itself, which was also brought over by the Spaniards? At which point in history did the garlic become "an authentic Mexican ingredient"? My question is absurd! Did Italians appropriate Aztec food when they integrated the tomato into their food? Of course not. These are absurd assumptions. Culture es kept alive by spreading it. You want to know who appropriates culture? American corporations like Disney, so if you are enraged by Bayless and loved the Disney movie, CoCo, you need to take a breather and start reading about history, culture, and identity. I'd start with "Hybrid Cultures" by Garcia Canclini.

[@megntx1]

BRAVO! Norma Vega! Beautifully said! Sadly, the reason young Latinos spew venom, as you say, is because they have been raised in a society that is promoting division between the races. Rather than embrace, celebrate, and incorporate our Cultures... many, many, "non-whites" are being indoctrinated to resent, hate, and find fault with everything the White Man does. EVEN WHEN HE IS HONORING THEIR CULTURE!

[@SOFIIBX]

He is great ! I love how he is passionate for mexican culture cuisine. U can tell his love for Mexican food. I appreciate him for showing my culture.

[@ec100]

He has one of the best jobs in the world, doing what he loves.

[@tint661]

It has been a year since I finally discovered pork carnitas. I fell in love with them. We finally got a Mexican restaurant that does real deal Mexican cooking. I'll never look at the local Taco Bell or chain Mexican food restaurant again. Rick Bayless is a world class chef. Thank You Rick for showing me how to make them at home. I am going to make the tomotito's /avocado sauce also.

[@chefken6705]

When I was traveling thru Mexico as a chef making Carnitas in Cuernavaca we used lard, oregano, bay leaves oranges and coca cola. There are so many different ways to prepare them, it has variations in every state in Mexico. Cuernavaca is in Morales, very nice place. I have total respect for Rick, he has the number one rated Mexican restaurant in Chicago called Frontera Grill on North Clark Street. He has Salsas and sauce in most grocery stores and authored many cookbooks. There are about 20 of his cookbooks available on Amazon.

[@jademanson9056]

What’s the book you would recommend?

[@stuartwelsh5905]

I don't understand all the hate spewed over this guy. Sure he's a white guy from Chicago, not of Latin descent but does that make him incapable of learning about and educating other about the wonderful foods of Mexico? Not everyone has the benefit of family to teach them this cuisine. Would you rather he be out there disparaging the people, food and culture of Mexico? Rick is not out there advocating walls, he's building bridges through cuisine. We have people like Trump to promote walls. So yes he doesn't preach how your Abuelita did it, but before you criticize consider that maybe he is trying to make these recipes accessible to a broad variety of food enthusiasts who have either limited experience, talent or access to ingredients. Appreciate him for where his heart is. Like me, he loves Mexico and wants to share that. By doing so doesn't he make things better? By learning more about each other's cultural differences don't we become more tolerant? Tolerant, now there's a concept many on this thread might think about. Oh and before some of you flame me, I understand how things work here online. I'm not hating on those who blast Rick in earlier comments. I understand that much of the nastiness comes from what I assume is a pride in heritage, origin and culture. It's easy to fly off the handle in this environment especially when you are anonymous and miles away from those you disagree with. So please take my comments as constructive and not meant to offend. But if you must flame please give me a chance to get some chiles, onion, tomato and garlic to out and char them for some salsa!

[@esmeraldasan2]

Very well said. I agree. To know that mexican culture and cuisine is appreciated brings joy to my heart. RB is a great chef and loves Mexico. I will rather use the Food Wishes recipe to make carnitas though :) but other of his recipies are delish, like Mexican paella :)

Gracias Rick por tu programa, por recordarnos a los hispanos lo delicioso de nuestra cultura, gracias por mantener las recetas originales y darles el credito a quienes conservaron tales recetas. En una manera personal muchas gracias porque tu progama de televison y tus recetas literalmente me mantuvieron por varios años con esperanza y el fuerte deceo de regresar a lo mas valioso, mi familia. Solo los que an disfrutado tales recetas saben el poder que tienen para crear buenas memorias. Gracias

[@internalmartialpath]

Thanks for all the uploads

[@OscarSanchez-dd8uf]

Great video and funny one of my favorite cheffs hes more Mexican than a mexican god bless him if every American was like him usa would be a better country.

[@AlohaBlade]

It takes traveling away from home and seeing how other people live and eat in this case.

[@Rudy4429]

Food has the power to bring people together, I like watching Rick; not only for his amazing virtue as a cook, but he goes deeper explaining how and were the diches came from.

[@lauracarrera1748]

Thank you Rick for your opinions, experiences and expertise when cooking Mexican dishes. I was born in Mexico and have traveled all through the country experiencing the different flavors, customs, dishes, drinks, amazing colors and amazing warm people (most of them) as well as the incredible customer service experiences in most of the places that I have visited. I was even lucky enough to visit Chicago's airport on my way to another city and ate at your Tortas restaurant in the airport. The authentic flavors brought me back to my beloved Mexico. Thank you so very much, and please keep doing what you do. You are one of the very best!

[@yogi919]

All Hail The Pig and its wondrous and delicious meat!

[@omargonzalez2641]

That sous vide/compacting/frying technique is absolutely outlandish, and I mean that in the best way possible.

[@ashleyrobles2921]

well I don't understand why people have a negative comments about him people do not see that hes a gringo do you see a Mexican in front of you're eyes no if he was a Mexican it would be different comments about him.why can't people open their eyes this man makes it because he loves it don't hate appreciate he loves you're Mexican food.and also he has a restaurant and of course he he must be doing something right

I used to think this guy was a little overboard but his recipes and knowledge is on par.

Rick is a friend of ours ;-) Been to his restaurants and food it is always amazing.

His show was on PBS

[@ketzlloooo]

Wow I'm mexican and I've never tried the carnitas recipe from scratch, here almost everyone buys it already fried or maybe here is not as prefered as un other states. Anyways this is nice to watch. 😄😂😂

[@easysnake205]

Skip bayless is this guy's older brother

[@liquidpersuasion]

why can't skip be more like his cool brother rick.

[@mariocisneros911]

I've heard Rick on sports , guess that's his like , but I like Skip more. He has heart

[@jonsmiths6192]

I miss when he use to cook in his show. The latter seasons just involves him going out to eat and occasionally cooking something.

[@tntmami4413]

thanks for sharing😁😁😀. this video helped so much I just added my own touch.like my own seasonings😊😀

[@TattooCebu]

Great video. Will have to watch it a couple of times to take it all in.

[@HazelAngelxX]

He's like the real life Chris Traeger from Parks in Rec.

[@backoff7659]

I do something similar with spare rib scraps from trimming my ribs for St. Louis style. Originally I was just cooking the scraps for my dog, I added a little salt to the meat and added about 1/2 cup of water to a skillet on the stove top and covered to braise for about 30 min. on med and reduced to med-low, add water as needed, removed the lid and browned the meat after the water evaporated. After I tested the taste before serving, I decided to share it with my dog instead, lol !!!

[@lotterywinners7461]

You are the best i like how you cook. I love to cook God bless you

[@raquelmolina8814]

I watched him all the time & went to his restaurant & even have his book, met him too a picture his food is very delicious 😋 & He loves the culture & is very successful..

[@jasonfick4506]

If you're mad because this dude is making food, you have problems. You might want to get your priorities straight.

[@alo1543]

Being a chef is not about cooking the same old same old. I've watched Rick for years and even made some of his dishes and they are delicious. I'm sure I didn't do his recipe or experience justice but he Makes you want to try something new and deliciuos.

[@FreqBand]

The reason you might cook the carnitas "just with salt", is so that you can actually taste the pork. No law is being broken by adding some orange rind or juice, or bay leaves, or cinnamon, or allspice, or chunks of hot fresh pepper. Our kitchens are not usually equipped with large caldrons of frying oil. He is describing a very good method of replicating that, in a home kitchen......using just one pot (a roasting pan).

[@DeanRendar]

My favorite Mexican dine in restaurant franchise was casa de Jimenez in LA county, for $12 they had a lunch buffet that you ordered ala cart. Basically unlimited made to order chili rellenos, enchiladas, and endless fresh fried carnitas brought to the table 5 minutes after ordering for $12. Those carnitas and Spanish rice with copious lemon drizzled over top satisfied my originally Filipino palate so thoroughly every time, I don't think any other countries cuisine buffet could have with their pork standard pork from a serving tray offerings.

[@omargonzalez2641]

I love black bean soup as do many Americans. Pollo Topical is a successful restaurant chain in Soflo which is popular with Anglos.

[@stevec69]

Cliff Notes: Try not to focus on RB's methodology. The essence of what he's trying to say here is that carnitas is crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside with flavors locked in. It doesn't matter how you finish the race. What matters is that you finish the race.

[@phillipsmom6252]

Wow, you are so smart............not.

[@SaintGuardian]

Me encantan sus programas, sus recetas deliciosas.

[@ScottVSpiroIII]

[@stupormundi7]

Those who hate Rick for loving and cooking mexican food for being white are the ones who listen to Michael Jackson, watch the NFL and saw all the Avengers saga. Well, those are things for all the world to enjoy, so is mexican food! ❤

[@monteam]

He is saying “I developed the absolute simplest recipe” which is a recipe that most of us can prepare, but yes, real carnitas are prepared with various spices and orange juice among other ingredients.

[@Mononoke28]

It really depends, there are lots of Mexican restaurants here in the US and Mexico where they make them without any spices or juice to marinate. They do chop them or shred them to later pan fry them with manteca or lard after they roast the meat though.

[@Tmidiman]

I agree. There is so much missing from this recipe. Wow!

[@Lamppostout]

They may prepare it with various spices and orange juice, but generally that is not the basic carnitas recipe. What you described sounds more like cochinita pibil.

[@raquellopez6329]

"

[@amarmehta01]

+monteam Whole oranges and sweetened condensed milk right? I've even seen beer and Coca-Cola in some carnitas recipes...

[@cillaloves2fish688]

2nd time I seen this... Still good!!

[@ravenXruby]

I love carnitas so much :V

[@thedangerwich5476]

If I could be a fly on the wall when Rick and Skip are having a private conversation. There's no truer or more genuine interaction than between two bros, even if mine gets on my fucking nerve sometimes.

[@ALLBOUTTHUGLIFE]

[@summeronio9751]

I love ya Rick but you DID NOT EVEN SEASON YOUR MEAT

[@AlohaBlade]

I was tripping out on the salt only first recipe.

[@marinalombrano4155]

Im confused, just saw an "authentic" carnitas recipe that called for sweetened condensed milk and Mexican coke. and it was boiled in lard.

[@elchicharron9503]

That's usually how it's done.

[@emmanuelmorales98]

Traditional recipe is just Salt, water, & lard. Carnitas come from the Mexican state of Michoacán

[@broderickcamel1701]

man this guy is making me want to buy some duck and pork lard

[@FRONT-rc1qg]

He respects mexican cooking culture very nice guy

[@selfscience]

For me Carnitas is about sweetness and juiciness. You pulled off that cheese chicharrón.

[@MSTR-DTH23]

mmmmm carnitas with some homemade flour tortillas with some avocado, crema, salsa Verde, a little salt and queso fresco.

Does anyone know if cooking the meat a day ahead then frying it up the day of will change the flavor?

[@mfazz134]

oh and by the way coca cola is not a authentic Mexican ingredient what if the first guy who used coke listened to u haters tell him u can't use coke its not a authentic Mexican ingredient crazy people I swear

[@matthewdavis2703]

Sooooo you put a little salt on some pork shoulder, cooked it twice in the oven and called it carnitas?

[@debc4567]

I agree! That would definitely not taste like carnitas! Where is the sour orange, oregano, cumin, bay leaves etc.?!!!

[@c.cookies1752]

Those ingredients are different version of carnitas. Many recipes are original to locations (different parts of mexico or south America) and alot of original recipes have been tweak to accommodate personal tastes and accessibility to ingredients.

[@Alexcristino-c5h]

Te puedo asegurar que nunca ninguna quedará como las que probó en cdmx meche y Rafael y lo digo por que yo si las he comido y en todo México ninguna como esas

[@BIGHURTification]

Correct me of I'm wrong, but how does baking pork topped with salt compare to cooking it with spices and lard? Good thing there are still Mexicans that still preserve traditional recipes because if it were left up to Americans we would think think taco bell was real Mexican food.

[@1too3fore]

Dude, how can you compare taco bell to baking pork with salt? I am sure it is pretty darn good, even in that simple form.

[@thedangerwich5476]

Hater

[@backoff7659]

@1too3fore; It is, I developed a stove top method cooking pork spare-rib scraps for my dog and it tasted pretty damn good and close enough for a gringo, lol!!! See my post above for technique , time and temps may vary depending on the amount of pork, for larger quantities follow Rick B's oven method for sure !!!

[@DomiciliumSolis]

Taco Bell is commercialized Tex-Mex fool BIG difference!!!

[@darklovecreepy1323]

He did it so you have a fast way to make something that resembles carnitas. Not like carnitas are a big deal. You make the meat like that and make it taste better with the salsas and lemon. Also it's got nothing to do with taco bell. Shut up. Lol
