I agree. A great bit of culinary/cultural/historical writing. Very informative. Thanks for sharing! (now I know where those cornmeal and gravy tamales come from!)

? Sure. But it’s more the fault of the restaurant and the conventional wisdom in the industry, IMO. There’s a basic human respect that’s missing here, to not judge people by how they look, and to consider them...
