    I love the story of how the Broke boy came about, the owner seems down to earth and really nice I am happy for him to have made this happen. Those tacos look heavenly ! I have never tried Birria before.

    Tacos!! It's funny that a boy from Kentucky, a state that isn't known for Mexican food, grew into a birria lover. I guess when you cook, you start narrowing in on flavors you especially like. Good interview, Sheena!

    • @ChasingaPlate
      @ChasingaPlate  Місяць тому

    love the kaupapa of your videos - celebrating Aotearoa local eateries and putting so many delicious places on my food list! that said, it really hurt when you dismissed the important question of another white man selling minority culture and once again removing all the people from said culture - reducing the ancestors of birria recipe and calling them 'haters' for rightly questioning a white man capitalise of their culture felt unnecessary...

      I'm a pro chef and I agree totally, the tacos here are very white washed and lacking a punch of flavour, I'm sure they're great if you're a middle aged white woman/someone who can't cook, but for the average chef they just aren't all that.
