Dominican Roast Pork Shoulder and Mind-Blowing Yuca Empanadas - Cooking in America

At Manu's Bodega in Seattle, chef Manu Alfau uses his classical training in Basque cuisine to make some of the city's best slow-roasted pork shoulder, or Puerco Asado, and highly technical yuca based empanadas that left host Sheldon Simeon inspired.

I loved their bro-out

[@ortem000]

Seems like the coolest, most chill chef ever. Got to put this place on my to-do list for the next time I'm in Seattle.

[@Sakja]

I love listening to this guy talk.

[@sidepresang5771]

Surely it's Brominican Pork Shoulder?

[@eater]

🤦

[@tosht2515]

Interesting that every Sheldon episode has at least one dish on the table that's not discussed or even annotated. I guess beets and fried plantains aren't worth the mention. 😂 Another excellent episode. This is such a great series.

[@AntonyJohn98]

This episode got alot of the chef "bro" going

[@bct201033]

Great representation of the Dominican entrepreneurial spirit. Thanks for sharing brother!

[@MrMrosas]

Man the technics are so understated in the vid but still well represented, I luv Sheldon in every video he's does!! Respect Chief🤙🏽

[@H3XIUS]

I’ll have to give them a try next time I’m in Seattle. My father came to the US from the DR but never really cooked much of the food from there when I was growing up. Looks tasty though. :

[@sydneya1582]

Love discovering new places to eat in my city ! Can’t wait to try this out

[@eniolabreu1944]

Dude that sounds delicious!!!! Enpanadas con arina de yuka!!!

[@tennisace12345]

I have the same melancholy opinion of Seattle. Used to be a gorgeous and diverse little town, but all of that is being pushed out in favor of these tech workers who don't add anything to the city culturally and make it unaffordable for the locals. Rents are skyrocketing even down in Tacoma because of this.

[@be4unvme]

same here with nyc

[@daaamn001]

This is Good! Me guta BRO!😂😎🙏

[@sistematic1]

[@Scripner]

What are the requirements or qualifications you need to get people to address you as “Chef”?

[@SdfuNoob]

[@russeltechtips]

PHILIPPINES NOTIFICATION SQUAD

[@John77Doe]

Russel Biazon ???? This is Caribbean cuisine not Southeast Asian.

[@bririe5296]

John Doe the host is half pinoy

[@iwannabefamous3128]

💓😛

[@seanmcdonagh6237]

say bro again

[@Blazingstar75]

I as a Dominican I do empanada de yuca, these are the worse ones I have ever seen... Wrong recipe. Instead of doing it from a food processor you need to grate the yuca, squeeze the starch make it into a ball, boil it, then knead it, the ending product it totally different, it does not fall apart

[@algeniscastrojimenez7013]

GNArmagenon I am Dominican and I understand what you say, but his method is much easier, I haven’t tried this one, but they look very nice! 😜

[@enyapnomar]

Come to Barbados... Message me. Show you a different roast pork that will blow your taste buds away.

[@graveyardrumblers]

No Brugal at the table?... Tsk Tsk lol

[@real1430]

Stop eating pork bro...

[@AlqGo]

All these different marinades...they never and do not penetrate something as thick as a pork shoulder cut. A lot of marinades (if not most) are underwhelming and barely flavor the surface of the meat.

[@TheDarwiniser]

Seriously, put a long blonde wig on him and boom.... Garth from Waynes World.

When you try to act cooler than the interviewer, but your punching above your weight...

[@John77Doe]

Use goat, not pork. Pork is not Kosher.

[@emick3326]

John Doe it’s Dominican food...

[@rafael285pc]

We have goat dishes too

[@alexhernandez49]

Bro, that was a bromantic episode!
