A pork butt with a thick charred crust, carved into wide pale slices laid out across white paper on a granite counter, the meat soft and almost grey-pink from the long rest. A Patrón bottle stands behind.

From the artist:

The Pork Butt is finished! I rest it overnight in a cooler. Shhhh… that's top secret! Don't tell anyone!!!
