Tell us a 339 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 2: little bit about this dish. 340 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 3: The green corn tamala is a lot of extra work. 341 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 3: It's special, it's sweet. It doesn't taste like any typical tomali. 342 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 3: I like all tamali's, but this is very unique. I've 343 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: often said too, it would make a great eye dish 344 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: if you were serving ham. Oh yes, it would be great. 345 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 3: And so it's versatile. And I will also say it 346 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 3: is one of our items that freezes beautifully. We have 347 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 3: shipped them before and you can freeze the great for 348 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 3: that and you wait six months and you take that 349 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: out on a cold day a green corn to Mollie. 350 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so that's another unique feature. 351 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 2: I think a hot tip on this too. You take 352 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 2: it out, you after it's been in the fridge and 353 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: you take it out and you steam it just a 354 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: little bit. You can even microwave it in a wet towel, 355 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 2: and you take it out, you put some butter on 356 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 2: your kamala on your your flat top, and you see 357 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: her off both sides of it. Then you make a 358 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 2: fried egg and you put it on top of it, 359 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 2: and you've got breakfast. 360 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 3: I like it. I was just gonna say, I like 361 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: it for breakfast. 362 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're great. As a matter of fact. 363 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 2: If you you chopped up ham and put it in there, 364 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 2: it's breakfast already there. You know what you're Oh, yeah, 365 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 2: well you don't. You don't get fat by not having 366 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: ideas about food day at night. I am like, ultimately, 367 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: I'll wake up and I'll tell my wife, who's not 368 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: a big eater. I'm like, I just thought of a 369 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: gory combination. She's all, you know, she doesn't eat red 370 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 2: meat or anything. I'm like, I just thought, now she 371 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 2: would love this. As a matter of fact, I think 372 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 2: we've had it there before, and we didn't live far. 373 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: We lived in Hollywood when we first got married. I 374 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: moved in the day we got married and moved in 375 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,479 Speaker 2: with her there on Gardener and sunset. So yeah, we 376 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: weren't far back then. Yeah, so it was always a 377 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 2: really easy place for us to go and enjoy ourselves. 378 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: And it's just quintessential Los Angeles. So you've got the 379 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 2: festivities going, the lights, the color people adding fun things. 380 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: You've got the gift window and all of those things. 381 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 2: If somebody has never been to Al Coyote, how do 382 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: you tell them to experience? 383 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: What should they order? You know? Where should they sit? 384 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: What are some hot tips? 385 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 4: Well, I have pretty strong opinions on this. She'll disagree 386 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 4: in some areas. 387 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 5: But if. 388 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: You've never been just agreed with you about disagreeing with you. 389 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: No I won't. You're a contraryan, No, I'm not. 390 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 4: I try and eat a lot of Mexican food and 391 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 4: try different things different places. I judge kind of everything 392 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 4: on what is our number one, which is a cheese 393 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 4: enchilada tread to beef taco rice and beans. 394 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 5: If you like that, If. 395 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 4: You like the taco inchilada, rice and beans and you 396 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 4: come in, I would highly recommend that's what to get. 397 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 4: If you don't like that, then El Coyote may not 398 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 4: be the best place for you, because we do that 399 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: to me better than anyone. It's delicious. Throw on margarita depends. 400 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: Do you like the really the flavors of tequila, Then 401 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 4: get a margarita made from scratcher with tequila of your choice. 402 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 4: If you like it a little on the sweeter side, 403 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 4: with a little a little more sugar fruit forward kind 404 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 4: of thing. Our house margarita, which is made with a 405 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 4: little touch of pineapple juice. 406 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 5: Go that route. 407 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 4: But the number one, the number one, it's on the menu. 408 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: Oh, she is going to punch you in the day anyway. 409 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 4: The number one she's in a lot of beef taco 410 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 4: rising beans. It's it's phenomenal. I have that probably every 411 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 4: other day. I have quite a bit, and it's just 412 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: really good. 413 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 2: Your mom is lovely and elegant and sweet and kind 414 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 2: until you wayne open your big mouth about the restaurant. 415 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: Now she's gonna hate you and it's gonna get ugly 416 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: in here. 417 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 4: Well, the problem is with her, and like I said, 418 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 4: she's irreplaceable. She is the face of the place. People 419 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 4: come a little bit to have a margarita and a 420 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 4: number one, but also they come to Margie, whether it's 421 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 4: after a wedding, after a funeral, after a baptism, after 422 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 4: fourth whatever it may be. They want to see Margie 423 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 4: because Margie gives them now. 424 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: But the problem want to margin to Margie. Yes, I'm 425 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: going to come for the Margarita, stay for the Margie. 426 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 4: So but for her all day, every day, nine to 427 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 4: five from open clothes, come in. That's when you should 428 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 4: be at Coyoto. You should order everything there is the 429 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 4: best thing on the menu. You never need to eat 430 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 4: anywhere else. That's ALKI. That's wonderful, but it's probably not 431 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 4: super realistic, whereas I try and be a little bit 432 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 4: more of the realistic. And I think everything we do 433 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 4: is pretty good, and there's some things we do better 434 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 4: than others. But she's very partial as you can tell, 435 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: and born and raised and she everything's perfect and we 436 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 4: try to make everything perfect. 437 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,360 Speaker 5: But it's not always that way. 438 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 2: But sometimes it's the sound of the orchestra, not one 439 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: in particular, you know, flute or string or there's something 440 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: about the magic of it all coming together in the location, 441 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 2: with the family, with the people and the fl that 442 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 2: what you No one can duplicate that because it's like 443 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: an individual person. Stick around one more segment with the 444 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: good folks at l Coyote. The fight may break out. 445 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to promise anything that might get ugly 446 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 2: in the last segment. I don't know, we'll see, so 447 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 2: stick around and go nowhere. 448 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 5: Listen. 449 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 6: You're listening to the Fork Report with Nil Savedra on 450 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 6: demand from KFI AM six forty. 451 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 2: Don't inhale food during the break and almost choke yourself. 452 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a part of a corn chip. 453 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: Whoo. 454 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: I was talking and enjoying my conversation as I was eating, 455 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 2: and I think it has left the uvula.

I just think they're dynamic. 472 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: They're living, breathing entities, and it's not work. It's an 473 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 2: extension of who you are. And I love the fact 474 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 2: that you guys both fill two different roles.

We have this room in 515 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: that room, and they all have a different vibe. One 516 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: room can get very noisy. I hate to stay noisy, 517 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 3: but people's voices are raised. 518 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: They're having a. 519 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 3: Good time, toysterous, they're having a great time, and I'm 520 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 3: glad they're having a great time. That can happen here 521 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 3: or there. But what's really magical is how people will 522 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 3: meet each other. They maybe don't know each other, or 523 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: they be come to know each other because they're an 524 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 3: al coyote.
