Episode: Breddos Tacos

November 15, 2018

In the Season 2 premiere of Tacocity, we head to London, England to talk with Nud Dudhia of Breddos Tacos about his rise from a cart on the corner to 2 blockbuster locations, and arguably the best tacos on the continent!

“It was me learning as I’d never had formal chef training. I’d use the shack going on two years, a year and a half, as my vehicle to learn new things. So we’d get a full quarter of a cow and then I’d learn how to break that down watching YouTube. I would get fish in and we’d break that down. It just became an experimentation platform.” -Nud Dudhia

Breddos Tacos is located at

82 Goswell Rd, London, England EC1V 7DB

and

26 Kingly St, Carnaby, London, England W1B 5QD

Episode: Burritos La Palma

November 15, 2018

It’s a burrito episode! We talk with Alberto & Lauren Bañuelos of Burritos La Palma about the their hand-made flour tortillas & delicious guisados. Jonathan Gold named them one of his Top Five Burritos, and we agree!

“The flour tortilla is made with vegetable shortening. That’s a big difference between others. We add some butter so the end product is a little on the flakey side, stretchy. Not gooey and not too chewy. And we realize that with the heat of the guisado it just becomes a super super product.” -Alberto Bañuelos

5120 N Peck Road, El Monte CA 91732

Episode: B.S. Taqueria & Broken Spanish

November 12, 2018

Renowned Los Angeles Chef Ray Garcia of both Broken Spanish & B.S. Taqueria talks with us about where he pulls inspiration from, how to open two restaurants at the same time, and how the taco has become the unofficial food of Los Angeles.

“[My grandmother, my mother] they were resourceful. They had what they had to make a good meal for themselves and their family. There was sincerity, there was warm, there was love in it. But now, as a chef, I have not only an opportunity but a responsibility to take it to that next level. What is it that am I able to do based off of ingredients and the techniques that are now available to me.” – Chef Ray Garcia
