Does pig meat cooked for hours in its own fat sounds too rich? Then think of this classic Mexican preparation as a pork confit; it’s essentially pork prepared the same way as the classic French duck confit. In Pilsen, there are many carnitas makers, but our favorite is Carnitas Uruapan. You’ll swoon over delicate threads of super-rich pork. Check out the irreverent cartoons on the walls and signage of cannibal pigs cooking other pigs in a pot, as well as machete-wielding man hunting down carnitas-to-be. (David Hammond) 1725 W. 18th
