Love this episode. It felt like the reason I started watching Babish in the first place. Simple, straightforward, no nonsense Basics.

2:54 I love how Andrew adds cilantro to the tacos, but in the next shot (when he squeezes the lime and takes a bite), suddenly there's no cilantro on the taco he's about to eat 😂

Rr: Pork butts. They used to transport them from New England in cask-like barrels, which were also called butts, and the nom de plume stuck.

Andrew, you're back in top form. A lot of your videos of late have once again had that classic Babish feel - that non-superfluous, witty, relatable tone and quick pace - but this was top notch even by that standard (and not just because I love carnitas). I was mesmerised the whole video. Hats off to you and the crew.

This will be a challenge but I would love to see Babish make Energon from Transformers in both it’s solid and liquid form

Your timing couldn’t be more perfect, I’m cooking for a bunch of volunteers at my Church and I said I’d make them all Carnitas last night 😂

Little tip for everyone: during lent, you can get Coke made with sucrose instead of corn syrup in almost every grocery store. Just look for the bottles with the gold or yellow caps labeled as kosher. Much cheaper than the Mexican coke, but kinda hard to find the rest of the year, so stock up if you want to have some for later.

Andrew, you're in my head. I was literally cutting up pork shoulder for carnitas for Friday when I heard this drop. I'm going to try Kenji's sous vide method and see how that goes.

Breakfast with Babish! Thanks for being part of my Tuesday routine.

One of the best foods of all time. Thank you for paying a lot of respect to the culture Andrew! I saw my dad make Carnitas once in a huge Cazo, which is a very large metal bowl that is used to create Carnitas traditionally. It's a bit overkill for many people, but it was still really cool to see something that is part of my culture, even if it may seem foolish to some, it's a nice memory.

My late father and uncle would always make carnitas in the backyard for occasional parties. I think through this, I believe I can bring back the nostalgia of that time.

2:43 broiling is The Way! That crispiness just makes it extra awesome.

[kalistanault]

I can't believe I didn't think of this until now, but I would LOVE to see Babish do the soup from Nacho Libre.

[kirillchegrinko]

Ive been watching Babish for years and this is a refreshing return to the fundamentals that I missed so much lately.

Easy carnitas was my nickname in high school

[AtticAZ]

Made these carnitas tacos, last night. I heated the corn tortillas and put a light amount of guacamole with diced white onions and cilantro with a squeeze of lime in the mix 👌🏼 delish❤

[colinmcevoy]

Always love a new episode to start the day

[raymondgahnz-kuhar]

PLEASE. Do more basics with banish. Your skills on these we love.

[sealclubber]

This whole video is pure gold and with the writing on par with a Tarantino film

[OrdinarilyBob]

Oh man. Carnitas is one of my favs. I live in So Cal and the Taco Shop across the street from my home makes amazing carnitas tacos. I get 'em at least once a week. Your dishes all look amazing as well. Excellence as usual, Andrew! Thanks!
