Alexis Madrigal: 我认为湾区的墨西哥食物正在经历一场演变,它认识到墨西哥美食中美丽的口味多样性,而不是作为标准肉类和烤肉的替代品,而是作为一种扩展。这种演变尊重传统,同时也拥抱创新,使得湾区的墨西哥美食场景更加丰富多彩。 Cesar Hernandez: 我认为 Mission-style 墨西哥卷饼的主要特点是它的大尺寸,代表着工人阶级的精神。它的标志性特征是加入鳄梨酱、酸奶油和大量配料的“超级”类别。当然,核心馅料包括米饭、豆类、肉、鳄梨酱、酸奶油和奶酪,这些都是必不可少的元素。 Dominica Rice-Cisneros: 我童年时,奶奶做的早餐墨西哥卷饼让我觉得她很爱我。作为来自北部沙漠地区的女性,制作面粉玉米饼是我的与生俱来的权利。在洛杉矶长大时,我们吃的主要是 guisado,通常不加生菜,只有肉、guisados、米饭、豆类和莎莎酱。 Ricardo Lopez: 对我来说,称之为 Mission Burrito 很奇怪,它只是一个墨西哥卷饼,这是湾区生活的方式。我通常点烤肉,不加鳄梨酱,只加新鲜鳄梨。我们剖析了整个墨西哥卷饼,并尽可能地让每一种食材都能独立存在,并让我们感到快乐。我们需要在墨西哥卷饼中加入一些烟熏和火焰。 Victor Escobedo: 我认为墨西哥卷饼是将墨西哥食物美国化的产物。米饭、豆子、当地的蛋白质和蔬菜,以及辣椒,这些食材的组合被带到美国,并为了方便和大规模生产而被放入面粉玉米饼中。我既不是墨西哥人,也不是美国人,我是 Mission Burrito。

Shownotes Transcript

New York has the pizza slice, Philly has its cheesesteak, and Chicago its hot dog. In the Bay Area, our iconic and passionately argued-over staple has long been the Mission-style burrito. Its origins are obscure, but one thing agreed on is that those enormous, foil-wrapped burritos are a culinary anchor that were perfected in San Francisco decades ago. But, just because it’s a classic doesn’t mean Bay Area burritos haven’t evolved or are not pushing into new frontiers. We’ll talk about the legacy of Mission-style burritos and the people putting a new spin on them. And we want to hear from you: What is your burrito spot and what do you order?

Guests:

**Cesar Hernandez, **associate restaurant critic, The San Francisco Chronicle

**Dominica Rice-Cisneros, **chef and owner, Bombera - Mexican restaurant in Oakland

**Ricardo Lopez, **owner, La Vaca Birria - Mexican restaurant in San Francisco's Mission District
