EDIBLE GLIMPSES: Harlem-style Cuchifritos

Comment | September 7, 2012 | By | Photographs by Clay Williams

Cuchifritos literally means “fried pork” in Spanish, but in Harlem the term has come to signify all sorts of Puerto Rican-style soul food.  In our current issue we go inside Cuchifritos on 116th in East Harlem, where you’ll find everything from fried pork rinds (chicharrón) to mashed cassava filled with meat (alcapurrias).  Download our free digital issue here for a visual guide to cuchifritos.
