Hi, brother. It's 5 a.m. And I'm out here at
00:04
La Meju Bakery in North Hollywood.
00:07
It's really cold. It's really early and,
00:12
I'm really excited to try Pan De Muerto.
00:17
Yeah. And, and coffee.
00:33
It smells so good in here.
00:36
Really good. Where are we?
00:39
So, this is La Mejor Bakery in North Hollywood,
00:41
California. My parents opened this back in 1999.
00:46
They've been baking since my father was eight years old,
00:49
back in Jalisco. And then what's the significance of the bread
00:53
around? Pan De Muerto symbolizes life and death because of the
00:58
shape and then the extra dough that it has on top.
01:01
It means the bones or some people say the tears and then
01:06
they make some with sesame seed and some with sugar.
01:09
The ones with sugar are supposed to be like the sni,
01:14
very tough job. It's a very,
01:16
very tough job. So this is my father,
01:36
Primitivo Lopez, who's the best baker.
01:40
And right here, Maza Del,
02:16
The name Trabajar. Oh,
04:15

04:49
