  • Welcome to Food Grails, a new First We Feast travel series hosted by Miss Info. As a music journalist, she's travelled the world and seen the power of artists who rep for their hometown sound. Now, she wants to discover how foods define a city’s flavor-from Atlanta's lemon-pepper wings, to NYC's beef patties. These are America’s food grails.
    In episode 1, Miss Info meets a group of young, charismatic African-American entrepreneurs from Watts, South L.A, and Compton who are shaking up the taco scene, finding new meaning in L.A.’s iconic street food. Find out how upstarts like All Flavor No Grease and Taco Mell are making a name for themselves, and why rapper Casey Veggies says, "The food game turned into the rap game."

      Like they said theres a bigger world outside of compton. Theres alot of small minded racist people who never explore the world or even la kitchens to understand that theres so many different races in the back cooking food you eat. And this movement is a fusion of black american culture mixing with mexican culture.
      If this fusion shit is new to people they're dumb as fuck. Mexicans wouldn't even have sheep or cows, or dairy products like cheese if not for spain. Mexican food was a fusion of native central americans like aztec, mayans, and incas dishes mixed with the spanish dishes. Thats two fucking cultures mixing delicious food to make a new delicious food.
      Same thing with the filipinos cooking is a mixture of asian and spanish cooking that makes filipino food.
      Racist ass people here who are against certain races cooking food are dumb as shit because most of the food they eat were created by a mix of different races fusing their cuisine.

    Who would’ve thought tacos would bring so many people together, the concept is Mexican but the idea and reinvention of the tacos and how you market and make them is what changes the game. “WE” inspire each other through music,clothing and food.

      Lataundra Ardoin hold up, hold up! I agree that black, white, and Asian people can make tacos their own way with different toppings as a Mexican American with academic merits I'm cool with that 100%! but only an absolute ignorant person believes they are embracing their own culture while taking from another culture... run that by me please... Eminem one of my top 5 rappers admits that rap is part of black culture and no matter how different he made it...he understands that he drew his motivation from African Americans artists like Tupac, biggie, dre.. ! To say hip hop is white culture because a white rapper as big and famous as Eminem successfully did it differently would be a complete disrespect to the black culture! And I can guarantee many black folk would say you stole from them ! ..Name me one African, Asian or European country that made tacos before South Americans.. just one please enlighten me since everyone eats tacos! If you can't then you took from Latin culture regardless of what toppings you decide to put on your taco! Just google Taco Bell! That's a white persons version of tacos! Which I love by the way! And anything you read about Taco Bell addresses the Mexican influence! In fact their slogan is live "mas" which means live more.. no disrespect but please don't appropriate my culture if you're simply going to shit on someone like the main commentator who stated he enjoys people creating their own style of Taco.. your the reason people are divided.. embrace everyone and pay respect where respect is due.. and by the way I'd be down to try this guys Taco.. it looks bomb

      You'll never know unless you try it.
      It's not as if a black person can't make a great taco.
      Mexicans make Chinese food all over the place. N ed at time you're in a Chinese food restaurant, keep an eye on who brings the freshly cooked food out.

    Mexican Americans and African Americans are the two richest in cultural but we need to appreciate, respect one another and nothing could stop us. Imagine if we got together, we could change the world and the saddest thing is we’re the only people who are treated like shit. Brown needs to get together, we’re all brown!!
