On Friday, 6 November, Expendio de Maíz and Peter BBQ present their first collaboration: a brisket taco that emerges from months of conversation between two kitchens united by an uncommon reverence for fire and the craft of slow cooking. Peter, who began by catering small gatherings in Chihuahua, built a reputation for authentic barbecue before opening his own restaurant. When those two worlds collided around smoked meats, the connection was immediate.
What developed was a recognition of shared values. Both understand that good food requires patience, that flavour cannot be rushed, and that the best meals gather people. The brisket has been tended for hours before it reaches the griddle, each hour marked by smoke and temperature and the discipline that separates excellent barbecue from the merely competent. The meat arrives wrapped in a corn tortilla crafted with the precision Expendio de Maíz brings to everything it makes.
This taco is a first statement of intent from two distinct traditions meeting on common ground. It carries the weight of those hours before the fire, the conversations that led here, and the simple pleasure of one excellent thing on a plate. From midday on 6 November, and continuing until supplies run out, the brisket taco will be available during regular service hours at Expendio de Maíz.
