New waves of lab-engineered alternative proteins are sweeping the nation. They promise to be so much like their meat muses that it’s hard to tell the difference. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles’s Beyond Meat has made waves with its rising stocks and its beef, chicken and pork-inspired products. These now include patties and sausages sold at fast food chains like Carl’s Jr. and Subway. The Redwood City-based Impossible Foods first debuted its burger patty at upscale restaurants like Momofuku Nishi in New York and San Francisco’s now-closed Jardinière before scaling up through a partnership with Burger King last year. With their marketing language and their venture capital funding models, both companies are more Silicon Valley than Bay Area natural grocery store.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bay Area history is replete with vegan “meats.” Some, like lentil and black bean burgers, are impossible to mistake with beef. They proudly stand, or rather lay, as legume patties. But for years, a variety of Bay Area restaurants and grocery stores have imitated the fleshy textures of beef, poultry and pork to much success. At Chinese restaurants in the Bay and beyond, vegan meats absorb sauces and hold chew convincingly—even though they’re genetically closer to the broccoli on the plate beside them than any poultry product. In fact, fake meat likely first emerged in \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/8xyqqz/origin-of-fake-meat-chinese-cuisine\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinese cuisine\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as early as the 7th century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vegelutiontrading.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Oakland’s Chinatown, there is no language around “optimized protein,” but rather shelves and fridges full of plant-based proteins, in the shape of chicken nuggets, shrimps and more. The market, which provides wholesale meat substitutes for restaurants all over the Bay Area, including \u003ca href=\"https://rnglounge.com/\">R&G Lounge\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebutchersson_official/?hl=en\">The Butcher’s Son\u003c/a>, has been around since at least 1996. That’s co-owner Samuel Wong’s estimate. Wong took over the market, which imports a lot of its goods from Taiwan, last January from the now-retired Layonna Wang. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I spent over two months with her before she handed it over to me,” he says. “I was a cashier. I was a delivery driver. She questioned me a lot of times. She doesn’t want people to take over and then end [the business].” Since assuming control, Wong has noticed a big growth in his wholesale business. That includes new customers as well as increased demand from longtime clients. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136156\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136156\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg\" alt=\"Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-1020x765.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown. \u003ccite>(Ruth Gebreyesus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, the demand for meat-free meat shows no sign of slowing. This year, Impossible Foods is shifting its attention to pork while Beyond Meats eyes chicken as its next big game. Last summer, the latter teased a fried-chicken product at a KFC in Atlanta, which \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/26/kentucky-fried-chicken-goes-beyond-chicken-in-partnership-with-beyond-meat/\">sold out in five hours\u003c/a>.

New waves of lab-engineered alternative proteins are sweeping the nation. They promise to be so much like their meat muses that it’s hard to tell the difference. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Los Angeles’s Beyond Meat has made waves with its rising stocks and its beef, chicken and pork-inspired products. These now include patties and sausages sold at fast food chains like Carl’s Jr. and Subway. The Redwood City-based Impossible Foods first debuted its burger patty at upscale restaurants like Momofuku Nishi in New York and San Francisco’s now-closed Jardinière before scaling up through a partnership with Burger King last year. With their marketing language and their venture capital funding models, both companies are more Silicon Valley than Bay Area natural grocery store.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bay Area history is replete with vegan “meats.” Some, like lentil and black bean burgers, are impossible to mistake with beef. They proudly stand, or rather lay, as legume patties. But for years, a variety of Bay Area restaurants and grocery stores have imitated the fleshy textures of beef, poultry and pork to much success. At Chinese restaurants in the Bay and beyond, vegan meats absorb sauces and hold chew convincingly—even though they’re genetically closer to the broccoli on the plate beside them than any poultry product. In fact, fake meat likely first emerged in \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vice.com/en_asia/article/8xyqqz/origin-of-fake-meat-chinese-cuisine\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chinese cuisine\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as early as the 7th century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.vegelutiontrading.com/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Market\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Oakland’s Chinatown, there is no language around “optimized protein,” but rather shelves and fridges full of plant-based proteins, in the shape of chicken nuggets, shrimps and more. The market, which provides wholesale meat substitutes for restaurants all over the Bay Area, including \u003ca href=\"https://rnglounge.com/\">R&G Lounge\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebutchersson_official/?hl=en\">The Butcher’s Son\u003c/a>, has been around since at least 1996. That’s co-owner Samuel Wong’s estimate. Wong took over the market, which imports a lot of its goods from Taiwan, last January from the now-retired Layonna Wang. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I spent over two months with her before she handed it over to me,” he says. “I was a cashier. I was a delivery driver. She questioned me a lot of times. She doesn’t want people to take over and then end [the business].” Since assuming control, Wong has noticed a big growth in his wholesale business. That includes new customers as well as increased demand from longtime clients. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136156\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136156\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg\" alt=\"Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/01/IMG_1105-1020x765.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Layonna Vegetarian Health Food Store in Oakland's Chinatown. \u003ccite>(Ruth Gebreyesus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Indeed, the demand for meat-free meat shows no sign of slowing. This year, Impossible Foods is shifting its attention to pork while Beyond Meats eyes chicken as its next big game. Last summer, the latter teased a fried-chicken product at a KFC in Atlanta, which \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/26/kentucky-fried-chicken-goes-beyond-chicken-in-partnership-with-beyond-meat/\">sold out in five hours\u003c/a>.

Those who decided to brave the wait wouldn’t get a bite for hours. “People are telling me, ‘Congratulations.’ And I hated that experience,” remembers Mikey Yoon, the chef behind Lovely’s. “I don't want people to wait three hours for a five-dollar burger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='bayareabites_127083,bayareabites_133040' label='More pop-ups around the Bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scene may seem both exciting and daunting for any chef, but it’s especially challenging for pop-up chefs who cook in unfamiliar kitchens with limited storage and a modest staff (if any at all), while competing with their nomadic peers and established brick-and-mortar restaurants for the attention of patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To have a successful one-off pop-up, you have to knock it out of the park,” Yoon says. “There [are] so many things involved.

Creative, often self-taught chefs took to the street offering regionally specific and experimental dishes to patrons at affordable prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though rents show no signs of ebbing, many pop-up owners still angle for some permanence, even if it’s in a less traditional space like a shipping container.

There, from the bar’s tiny kitchen, he churned out fried chicken sandwiches and his coveted “OG” burgers (American cheese topped smashed patty and all the fixings in a potato bun).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136000\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136000\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender.jpeg\" alt=\"A drive thru burger and an OG burger from Oakland's Lovely's.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1029\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender.jpeg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-160x86.jpeg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-800x429.jpeg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-768x412.jpeg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-1020x547.jpeg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/12/FullSizeRender-1200x643.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A drive thru burger and an OG burger from Lovely's. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Mikey Yoon)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The burger, along with Lovely’s entire menu, is an ode to the uncomplicated and reliable offerings from the lunch delis and diners that Yoon loved in his Midwest and East Coast days.

With the help of community demand, funding from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s contractors and The Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development and management by Andrea Baker Consulting, the lot was transformed into a gathering space in July 2019. With a colorful mural, picnic benches, and plenty of space to come together over food, the Bayview Bistro offers local Bayview food entrepreneurs a platform for growing their businesses. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What makes the Bistro unique? Not just anyone can become a vendor. You have to be connected to the Bayview district, either by living, owning a kitchen, utilizing a commercial space, possessing a cottage food license or maintaining a brick and mortar presence in the neighborhood. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The place-based approach to selecting vendors intends “to make sure the local community that has been here for generations gets some of the first opportunities in the economic activity coming into Bayview,” says Tracy Zhu, the Social Impact Partnership Manager with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135602\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-135602\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A colorful mural invites customers at the Bayview Bistro.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/mural-3-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A colorful mural invites customers at the Bayview Bistro. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alexis Woods, the current Bayview Bistro Hub Manager, is a lifelong Bayview resident and the former manager at Isla Vida, the beloved Afro-Caribbean restaurant in the Fillmore \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/Isla-Vida-closes-in-San-Francisco-s-Fillmore-14282540.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">that recently closed \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">after a year of \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/restaurants/article/In-the-midst-of-rough-economic-waters-Isla-Vida-13709311.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">rave reviews\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As a new, black-owned business in a gentrifying, historically-black Fillmore district, Isla Vida’s closure cut deep, especially for Woods, who had poured her heart and soul into building a community there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bayview-Hunters Point has long struggled with \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://sfmohcd.org/sites/default/files/FileCenter/Documents/911-BayviewHuntersPoint.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">economic disenfranchisement\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.sfwater.org/modules/showdocument.aspx?documentid=10879\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">harmful environmental conditions\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.

For Woods, this is exactly why the Bayview Bistro matters: “Finally, there’s somewhere they haven’t taken over yet. We now have somewhere we can sit and we can be a community. That means something because that’s what it used to be.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, the Bistro’s main goal isn’t to create a permanent space; the lot is slated for a mixed-use development project in a few years. Rather, Zhu says, it’s to find a way “to support growing small businesses to become sustainable in the long run.” This involves tailored technical help, which can “include menu creation and pricing, assistance registering as a city-approved vendor, and development of a marketing plan.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135601\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-135601 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--800x428.jpg\" alt=\"Customers gathering at the Bayview Bistro. \" width=\"800\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--800x428.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--160x86.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--768x411.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--1020x546.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--1200x643.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customers gathering at the Bayview Bistro. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the growth is visible. As Agee’s customer base has grown via word of mouth among barbeque fanatics on social media, so too have his operations. He’s gone from being cash-only to adopting a POS system and frequent eater punch cards. “To be able to shift from an informal vendor to the owner of a registered business [is] a huge deal in raising vendor’s profiles and putting them in different professional realms,” Zhu comments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the vendors phase out of the Bistro, their next steps will vary based on the specific needs of their businesses. Nima Romney of Soul Foodz will start appearing at SoMA StrEAT Food Park and plans on building a website for her catering business.

With the help of community demand, funding from San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s contractors and The Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development and management by Andrea Baker Consulting, the lot was transformed into a gathering space in July 2019. With a colorful mural, picnic benches, and plenty of space to come together over food, the Bayview Bistro offers local Bayview food entrepreneurs a platform for growing their businesses. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What makes the Bistro unique? Not just anyone can become a vendor.

For Woods, this is exactly why the Bayview Bistro matters: “Finally, there’s somewhere they haven’t taken over yet. We now have somewhere we can sit and we can be a community. That means something because that’s what it used to be.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still, the Bistro’s main goal isn’t to create a permanent space; the lot is slated for a mixed-use development project in a few years. Rather, Zhu says, it’s to find a way “to support growing small businesses to become sustainable in the long run.” This involves tailored technical help, which can “include menu creation and pricing, assistance registering as a city-approved vendor, and development of a marketing plan.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_135601\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-135601 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--800x428.jpg\" alt=\"Customers gathering at the Bayview Bistro. \" width=\"800\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--800x428.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--160x86.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--768x411.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--1020x546.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/11/bistro-2--1200x643.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customers gathering at the Bayview Bistro. \u003ccite>(Olivia Won/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the growth is visible. As Agee’s customer base has grown via word of mouth among barbeque fanatics on social media, so too have his operations. He’s gone from being cash-only to adopting a POS system and frequent eater punch cards. “To be able to shift from an informal vendor to the owner of a registered business [is] a huge deal in raising vendor’s profiles and putting them in different professional realms,” Zhu comments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the vendors phase out of the Bistro, their next steps will vary based on the specific needs of their businesses.

Quanisha Johnson of Yes Pudding is stepping back from regular sales to focus on her business strategy with the goal of selling at farmers markets before opening a brick and mortar.

Times restaurant critic, Jonathan Gold used to say about tacos, “...when we move to New York or Paris, it is tacos that haunt our dreams; when we are hungry after a night of dancing, it is the taqueros who nourish us, who appear precisely where and when we need them the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gold was right, and if he were alive today, he would be incredibly proud to see that \u003ca href=\"https://www.lataco.com/a-cold-email-from-a-food-obsessed-teen-why-i-owe-everything-to-jonathan-gold/\">his former restaurant scout, Javier Cabral\u003c/a> (now editor of L.A. Taco) became an associate producer and taco scout behind the recently premiered Netflix series, \u003cem>Las Crónicas del Taco\u003c/em> (Taco Chronicles). The show takes viewers on a journey through various parts of Mexico, to dissect how tacos such as asada, al pastor, carnitas, barbacoa, canasta, and guisados land on your plate, their history, and the labor of love behind them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134410\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134410\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/las-cronicas-del-taco-concept-art-e1565712544229.jpg\" alt=\"Netflix's documentary series 'Las Crónicas del Taco' was released in July 2019.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Netflix's documentary series 'Las Crónicas del Taco' \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Netflix)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Cabral became involved with the project thanks to the creator of the series, Mexican producer, Pablo Cruz. For those not familiar with his work, Cruz is behind projects such as the movie \u003cem>Miss Bala\u003c/em> starring Gina Rodriguez, the AMC TV show, \u003cem>Fear The Walking Dead\u003c/em>, and the Spanish series, \u003cem>Luis Miguel\u003c/em> (now streaming on Netflix).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had an instant creative food chemistry, we both love food in a very obsessive and human level,” Cabral said. “We love the stories of the people behind it, especially now in this day and age where that stuff really matters for political and ethical reasons.” The two initially met years prior over Korean style smoked duck bbq at a restaurant in L.A.'s Koreatown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their eye, not only for the delectable visions of the tacos in each episode but also the personal stories behind it, genuinely sets the series apart from others currently streaming on the platform. And so, Cabral set off on a year-long mission to find the taqueros and their respective taquerias that would ultimately land in the show. The hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/tacosforpablo/\">#tacosforpablo\u003c/a> on Instagram showcases his journey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5-jg0BZNT/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What they wanted was for viewers in both Mexico and the United States to feel connected to each episode. Living in L.A., Cabral captured noticeable cultural differences between the way tacos are seen in Mexico versus here in the states. “In the U.S., tacos are taken for granted, its deliciousness, and cost-effectiveness,” Cabral said of some people expecting a taco to be cheap. “In Mexico, tacos are just tacos, people just love them. Tacos are celebrated as a way of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tacos are a collective experience,” Cruz said. “Mexicans don’t take them for granted.” For Cruz, tacos are unequivocal, the maximum representative of Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working on the series, he also wanted to avoid the Taco Chronicles from being seen from an outside perspective. Instead of celebrity chefs, each episode is narrated by the taco itself thanks to the work of voiceover actors. “We wanted to give each type of taco a personality,” Cruz said of the distinctive voice narrating each episode. The goal, Cruz added was to showcase the actual taqueros. “There’s no one better to talk about their creative food journey, than the taqueros themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process taqueros work through—how they develop their craft—is something he knows doesn’t only happen in Mexico, and can also be seen here in the states. His favorite place comes out of the neighborhood in L.A. where he resides. “Just imagine the story, an immigrant family from Oaxaca, they come [to the states] and set up their taco stand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Series creator Cruz said, “the taco is an art, [and] this series pays homage to tradition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in the Bay Area, there are countless similar stories of perseverance. Some of the best food you have probably eaten comes thanks to the labor of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134412\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134412\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Business partners Leonel Oblea and Victor Guzman in front of their taco truck, La Santa Torta. \u003ccite>(Azucena Rasilla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For business partners Leonel (Leo) Oblea and Victor Guzman, opening the taco truck \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lasantatorta/?hl=en\">La Santa Torta\u003c/a> where they specialize in Jalisco style birria and consome was a result of wrongdoings by the Trump Administration.

They see their food and service as a way to help those who are much like them and cannot travel back to Mexico. “Our spices come from the mercado de abastos in Guadalajara,” Oblea said. “My grandma goes out there and brings us back chiles de Yahualica which we use in our salsa, and spices for the birria.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our food is comfort food,” Oblea said of making his customers feel close to home. “It tastes like Mexico, it takes them back [in the form a taco de birria].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134413\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134413\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic.jpg\" alt=\"Dominic Prado, the taquero behind Tacos El Último Baile\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/el-ultimo-baile-dominic-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dominic Prado, the taquero behind Tacos El Último Baile \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Dominic Prado)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Not far from the Jack London Square neighborhood where you can find La Santa Torta, another taco truck is gaining notoriety and a cult following. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tacoselultimobaile/?hl=en\">Tacos El Último Baile\u003c/a> started off as a taco stand, much like Pablo Cruz’s favorite place in L.A..

And so, Cabral set off on a year-long mission to find the taqueros and their respective taquerias that would ultimately land in the show. The hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/tacosforpablo/\">#tacosforpablo\u003c/a> on Instagram showcases his journey.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"Bv5-jg0BZNT"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>What they wanted was for viewers in both Mexico and the United States to feel connected to each episode. Living in L.A., Cabral captured noticeable cultural differences between the way tacos are seen in Mexico versus here in the states. “In the U.S., tacos are taken for granted, its deliciousness, and cost-effectiveness,” Cabral said of some people expecting a taco to be cheap. “In Mexico, tacos are just tacos, people just love them. Tacos are celebrated as a way of life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tacos are a collective experience,” Cruz said. “Mexicans don’t take them for granted.” For Cruz, tacos are unequivocal, the maximum representative of Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While working on the series, he also wanted to avoid the Taco Chronicles from being seen from an outside perspective. Instead of celebrity chefs, each episode is narrated by the taco itself thanks to the work of voiceover actors. “We wanted to give each type of taco a personality,” Cruz said of the distinctive voice narrating each episode. The goal, Cruz added was to showcase the actual taqueros. “There’s no one better to talk about their creative food journey, than the taqueros themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process taqueros work through—how they develop their craft—is something he knows doesn’t only happen in Mexico, and can also be seen here in the states. His favorite place comes out of the neighborhood in L.A. where he resides. “Just imagine the story, an immigrant family from Oaxaca, they come [to the states] and set up their taco stand.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Series creator Cruz said, “the taco is an art, [and] this series pays homage to tradition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here in the Bay Area, there are countless similar stories of perseverance. Some of the best food you have probably eaten comes thanks to the labor of immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134412\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-134412\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/08/la-santa-torta-truck-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Business partners Leonel Oblea and Victor Guzman in front of their taco truck, La Santa Torta. \u003ccite>(Azucena Rasilla)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For business partners Leonel (Leo) Oblea and Victor Guzman, opening the taco truck \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lasantatorta/?hl=en\">La Santa Torta\u003c/a> where they specialize in Jalisco style birria and consome was a result of wrongdoings by the Trump Administration.
