It was midnight, wall to wall people and it turned out we were squeezed in next to the Boston Globe's restaurant critic who, having secured a place, flew down to try Paco Chin, that's the guy's name, food. <br /><br />After we tried the Havana-Bejing chicarones, the guy said it was probably the finest dish he has ever eaten anywhere and would easily sell out at $250-$300 a plate in NYC or Boston. Chin roasts a whole pig and burns as much of it as possible for the chicarone. Then he peels it off and chops it up into bite sized pieces. Then he wraps them in palm leaves and soaks them in some secret tea formula for two days before steaming them in a Mattake mushroom infused broth. Mattake mushrooms are the most expensive in the world, blowing away truffles. The result is this sometimes soft sometimes crunchy chicarone with this tea-mushoom hint of an after taste. Then, he takes the broth used to steam the chicarone and makes mattake infused hand pulled noodles, which is raman like you'e never had. The chicarones sit on top of the hand pulled noodles which just soak up the flavor. Unbelievable to say the least. <br /><br />How about duck breast in a cuban garlic sauce placed in a bao? <br />How about kobe beef vaca frita in a bao?<br />It's cuban/chinese and unlike anything you have ever experienced. <br />How about hand pulled noodles made from tostone flour? Or fish tacos with grouper and sea bass flashed fried in home made Szechwan oil. <br />Snapper wonton soup with the most amazing fried snapper tidbits and believe it or not, yuca. The taste blends like you cannot even imagine. <br /><br />About 200 people were served from 12-5am, $200 per person, price fixed, about a dozen small courses and you stagger out and go home and sleep for ten hours. <br />Foodienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-90725955534357934512014-04-23T15:54:27.754-04:002014-04-23T15:54:27.754-04:00This is the offspring of Michigan State Police v. ...This is the offspring of Michigan State Police v. Sitz, the case that allowed suspicionless sobriety checkpoints because the benefits of combating DUI's outweighed the "minimal intrusion " of the roadblock stop. Sitz eviscerated the 4th Amendment and Navarrete flushed it down the toilet. After Gutting the 4th Amendment appealing Sitz, the State of Michigan banned suspicionless roadblocks. The people of the DC area should be on the lookout for Justice Thomas' car and anonymously report him at the slightest swerve out of his lane. Maybe the cops will find him to be under the influence, which would explain such an asinine opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-73120385602698714362014-04-23T14:39:29.733-04:002014-04-23T14:39:29.733-04:00I agree.

Ask Ole Mitt about the 47%. There are plenty of people not in an "inner-city" or "urban area" (veiled word for black or brown community) that have this same "tailspin of culture" and they actually make up the larger part of the population but that's not on PR's radar of concern. If the concern is that Americans ("inner-city" residents are still Americans right?) don't want to work then say that (don't see many "rural" farmers doing the fruit picking anymore).
