"This East LA-based pop-up melds Texas and Chicano barbecue culture, with some creative twists thrown in, to create food that’s distinctly LA. You’ll often find them at the weekly El Sereno Night Market, or popping up at various breweries and bars around town, serving smoked meats like al pastor pork belly and smoked cochinita pibil, plus “animal-style” smashburgers and roasted chile mac and cheese. Follow their Instagram for preorder info." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
