L. A. Weekly’s Jonathan Gold, a Pulitzer Prize winning food critic, just put out his “99 Things to Eat in L.A. Before You Die” and we made the list!!
Here’s what he had to say:
Bigmista’s Pig Candy
If pigs had their way, pig candy would be made out of chocolate — better yet, out of chocolate positioned in a trough right in front of them. But for better or worse, pig candy is the vernacular name for a snack made out of smoky, thick-cut bacon baked with lots and lots of brown sugar until it transforms itself into demonically fragrant slabs that bear more than a passing resemblance to pork-belly terrine. You want some of this stuff. Really you do. And if you should happen to be in Atwater on a Sunday morning, you should probably swing by the barbecue concession ’round the back, because Bigmista and Mrs. Mista will set you up with the best.
Bigmista, Sun. at Atwater farmers market; Tues. & Sat. at Torrance farmers market; Thurs. at El Segundo farmers market. Menus, hours and preordering info at bigmista.com.
