Carnitas' Snack Shack Triple Threat Pork Sandwich · San Diego
Three pork builds on a kaiser bun: a chicken-fried Duroc pork loin schnitzel, slow-roasted pulled pork and applewood-smoked bacon, finished with pepperoncini relish and shack aioli.
Hanis Cavin opened Carnitas' Snack Shack on University Avenue in North Park in 2011 as a no-reservations pork-focused walk-up window. The Triple Threat sandwich combines three preparations of pork in one build; it became the citywide signature plate, anchored the Embarcadero waterfront expansion, and led the brand's growth across the county.
