Fiercely Local. Those two words are how the Tacoma-based company Sound Bites describes itself. Believing in the philosophies that local tastes better and that reducing the carbon footprint is important to all, Richard Hines and Stephen McConkey started Sound Bites Sauce & Spread Co. in Tacoma in June 2008. Their goal was to bring recognition, and more importantly to support, to Washington-grown products and farmers to keep them growing for future generations.

Farmers markets are currently a environment for sensory overload. Every inch of the market renders incredible visual presentations of a variety of foods, tantalizing scents that lure, and cacophonies of buyers and sellers trading money and ideas. At their peaks right, these markets are downright dangerous. Wanting it all and not chancing missing anything Twin Tastes tends to go overboard. Now what to do with all this freshness?

Tacoma does carnitas right
El Jalapeno Market

If you have never tried pork carnitas then you are not only missing out, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Carnitas are tender pork cuts simmered slowly in a liquid usually consisting of red wine, orange juice for a hint of citrus, or coke for a unique sweetness. Recipes and techniques vary, but the result is always a juicy and tender pork filling that finds lovely companionship in a soft corn tortilla or the preparation of your choice.
