I’ve always said if I were a billionaire I could afford to do all sorts of weird stuff in which I have a passing interest. To some degree or another, many of us has thought about opening a restaurant of some kind. We think, “Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to tailor the menu to serve what I want.” Most of us, however, have neither the drive nor the dedication it requires. Restauranteurs work crazy freakin’ hours and have to deal with all sorts of BS that has nothing to do with food. That’s why I’d rather pay someone to deal with that while I create the menu.
Originally I was thinking about a sandwich shop with the sandwiches named after famous people. I thought it would be cool to have a sandwich called the George Washington Carver… until I developed a peanut allergy.
There aren’t many peanuts in Mexican cooking, so I’ve been coming up with south of the border menu items. My first creation was inspired by the awesome turducken (a chicken stuffed inside a duck, which is then stuffed inside a turkey) and my favorite Transformers as a kid, the Constructicons.
Enter the Turdito: A taco stuffed inside a burrito, which is stuffed inside a taqito. Delicious.
