the idea of hooking up mics to Rick and his guest and having the cameras stand a little further back with a zoom lens during the section in the restaurant made it look much more casual and natural because it put the rest of the strangers in the place more at ease. I really wish more shows did this when filming in public

[@PeaceRose96]

i was thinking maybe it was for covid reasons or for respect of the employees but honestly either way shows definitely should be like this more often! you cant even tell it was that zoomed in bc theres so many angles!!

It’s beautiful to see traditional Mexican cuisine receiving the respect and recognition it deserves. I hope this is followed up by an episode where Rick faithfully and respectfully preserves the flavors and spirit of the dish, but uses utensils that can be found in regular kitchens like the stove, an oven or even a slow cooker. I know it’s not the same, but it can be done and get amazing results by following the right recipes with the right ingredients, instead of those botched attempts by the likes of Rachel Ray.

Naturally recoil at the idea of orange in most savoury dishes, including orange duck, but with that amount mixed in with all those chiles in that rich slow cooked meat I can imagine its great, just enough to add a bit of sugar and acid. I've also never seen spring onions used whole in a dish before, there are some great ideas in this one.

[@CarlosChSa]

I don't know if this is the case (have never tried Tamazula's birria, though I live not too far from there), but sometimes when a dish calls for orange, it is meant to be "Naranja Agria" or "Sour orange". Again, I don't know if this is the case with this recipe, but is something to consider when using orange in these kinds of dishes.

[@RamiAbdelal]

@@CarlosChSa Wow a sour flavour might be even better, I'd really have no idea unless I actually try it. Are there any more common fruit substitutes you can think of to replace the orange with a slightly more sour version?
