EVERY SUNDAY at the Atwater Village Farmers Market (3250 Glendale Blvd.) is a chance to try one item from Jonathan Gold's
99 Things to Eat in LA Before You Die. Bigmista's Pig Candy is from
Bigmista's Barbeque, of course, a mainstay at our neighborhood's Sunday market. Here's what Gold says in the
LA Weekly:
"Pig candy is the vernacular name for a snack made out of smoky, thick-cut bacon baked with lots and lots of brown sugar until it transforms itself into demonically fragrant slabs that bear more than a passing resemblance to pork-belly terrine. You want some of this stuff. Really you do. And if you should happen to be in Atwater on a Sunday morning, you should probably swing by the barbecue concession 'round the back, because Bigmista and Mrs. Mista will set you up with the best."

Go early cause it's the first to go. Plus. their brisket and pork are fab, their baked beans spectacular and their bbq sauce the best I've had outside of Texas and Kansas. Seriously, though, don't ruin it for me.
and the collard greens are wicked!
