Isnt that quote pretty damning of Christians, then, considering Christianity is losing followers at a record pace? Seems like you could say unbelievers look at the work of Gods followers and judge them for their poor behavior and say 'Fuck that, whats the point, theyre all assholes like anyone else'?
It was trendy and hipster-y as a Mexican (food truck) dish a few years back, its probably trickling out from hipster, more 'high end' places to the suburban Nashville sort of Americana strip mall sports bar type places that have Sysco jalapeno poppers and burgers alongside fajitas and 'Mexican dishes'. Its also probably a novelty to him, over just 'burgers again, ribs again, fistfuls of half cooked beef and chicken and pork stuffed into a fajita or burrito that I cant close'.
I also kind of agree with that one guy who said the ones hes getting served look kinda like shit. Compare what he showed at that one taqueria or wherever, it looked like barbacoa tacos done up like tacos dorados, not cooked hot enough so they dont crisp up enough, served with beef broth and a can of fire roasted tomatoes and sauteed onions or something. Its kind of a technical dish that you cant just automate in a high volume kitchen where youre taking shortcuts and the cooks dont really care about the quality, like at Chilis or whatever which is why it showed up more at hipster places before these other places after it became a kind of high margin dish.
But dipping the tacos not being authentic, arent birria tacos themselves a 'gringo thing'? Birria as a dish isnt but I read that having them as tacos started at some food truck in LA or San Diego or some shit, although the guy who made that place did live and work in Jalisco.
