Ore .,: Puerto Nuevo and Road Trip

ore .,: Kooks Burritos/Yelp By Vinay Menon Columnist Sat., May 27, 2017 I'm not here to lecture either side in the cultural appropriation debate, according to Toronto Star. But when a burrito gets weaponized, the debate has strayed onto an absurd battlefield. And yes, those are fries in there. Such was the case this week when two women in Portland, Ore., closed down their pop-up taco cart amid accusations of racism and exploitation. The women, Kali Wilgus and Liz Connelly, talked about how a road trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, inspired their aptly named Kooks Burritos. The problem started with a story in the Willamette Week.
