00:05Hi! Welcome back to part two of Grand Central Market. We're still working our way through
00:10this huge space so let's get started. So we are here with Fernando aka the king of carnitas.
00:25Can you tell us a little about your food? Yeah, basically we have tried to do it like the real
00:30way, like the way that you will see it in Mexico.
00:33Very authentic. Nice. Yeah, authentic exactly. So excited to try it. Yeah, let's do it.
00:43What do you think about this one? Oh, it's delicious. Yeah, it's so good. It's so juicy.
00:48I put on just like the really mild salsa. Yeah, I just put the green. Yeah. The green one is
00:53the mild one.
00:53The meat really just speaks for itself, so you don't have to put too much on there.
00:59Alright, we're gonna drink it down with some marchata.
01:04Mmm! It's really good because it's like milky, so if you put too much hot sauce, this will just kind
01:10of like neutralize it.
01:11And you'll be just on your way. Oh yeah!
01:18So here we are at Mad Cabra. This is Sarah and Sarah. So you guys have just moved from Brooklyn
01:24to L.A., right?
01:26So like how would you say the New York food scene differs from the L.A. food scene?
01:30The availability of produce obviously is a big one because in New York there are like more distinct seasons.
01:37Could you tell us a little bit about your cuisine actually? Sure.
01:41It is a Middle Eastern sandwich shop and we also make salads. All of our sandwiches are available as salads.
01:47It's vegetable focused, it's Middle Eastern inspired, but we're also very much drawing upon the bounty of California.
01:53Nice! Because here we are.
01:56Mmm, so good. Do you have a favorite falafel?
01:59Um, it's hard to choose between the two, so there's only two. And it would be like choosing between my
02:04like babies.
02:05Aww. And you know, it's not a very kind thing to do.
02:07I'm gonna try the broccoli sandwich. The broccoli is just so smoky and good. Mmm.
02:16We are just so stuffed and satisfied with all the delicious food we just consumed. So full.
02:21I hope you enjoyed watching us eat our way through Grand Central Market.
