We really enjoyed shooting this story. For one thing, we got to eat the props!

Texas native James Jennings has brought genuine taqueria tastes to Woodstock, New York. His newcomer, Tinker Taco Lab, has created a real buzz. Chef Jennings said this:

“It’s a taco. We have five tacos on the menu and two tamales. You can have a classic taqueria taco like chorizo and potato. You can have carnitas.

With the name, Tinker Taco Lab, I’m trying to stay a very traditional taqueria, while using classic French techniques I’ve learned over the years, and apply them to a taco and kind of do a modern version of things as well. So the idea is to keep evolving, keep changing things, keep having fun.

When you use something local,  something less processed, something closer to the farm, it’s going to be higher in nutrient value, because you’re not over-processing, you know?"

We agree.
