    I think the most iconic Matty clips is when he's tasting the food he's made, and he not only looks at the camera but looks at his crew with that little grin like "yeah that's right I did it again." That's what cooking is about.

    Those are decent beans, but here’s the recipe to make:
    1x white onion
    4x garlic cloves
    1x medium Jalapeño
    24oz of Applewood smoked bacon
    32oz chicken stock
    32oz of pinto beans
    2x bay leaves
    Cumin, salt and pepper to taste
    Cilantro is optional
    Diced tomatoes are optional
    Cook bacon first. Remove it once cooked drain any excess oil and then add onion, jalapeños and salt to draw out moisture. Cook 5min or so. Add garlic (if using diced tomatoes add now as well) cook for 2min. Add chicken stock and pinto beans. Add remaining ingredients (cumin, pepper, bay leaves, cooked bacon back in and more salt if needed). Simmer for minimum 30min.

    Use STOCK for stand alone beans. I use bone marrow stock, that I get the tallow out of in a big oval crock pot.
    After cooling & skimming tallow/ fat, just throw in soaked beans. I've used some of the water after beans are cooked; and before they're cooled down, for rice.
    Best ever.

    SoCal has been getting Carne Asada right forever . Lived in San Diego in the late 80's and the stands were everywhere and open 24/7 . Could get an arm sized burrito that was just meat and quac. No beans, no rice. Moved back to Washington state and it's been very rare to find joints that get it right .
