For a New Generation, Kimchi Goes With Tacos
Here's a new twist which brings to mind the lower level street scenes in the movie Blade Runner.
After obsessively checking the Twitter postings of the Korean taco maker to see where the truck will park next, they begin lining up — throngs of college students, club habitués, couples on dates and guys having conversations about spec scripts.
And they wait, sometimes well beyond an hour, all for the pleasure of spicy bites of pork, chicken or tofu soaked in red chili flake vinaigrette, short ribs doused in sesame-chili salsa roja or perhaps a blood sausage sautéed with kimchi, all of it wrapped in a soft taco shell.

I wondered where all of my “Burrito on a Stick” customers went. I thought it was the economy. 
I’m going to have to check this out.

Might be a good time to invest in some Tagamet stock.

Is that a 'deep-fried burrito on a stick'?!?!? Yum. Sounds like "state fair food" to me!

That would be "Chimichanga on a Stick". They went out of busness before Christmas.

You're right. Love them "chimi-chingones"!  Besides, the state fair here in AZ would probably serve "frozen burritos on a stick - dipped in chocolate"!

Being half korean and always having an ample supply on hand, I've often enjoyed kimchi on pizza, hot dogs, and sandwiches.
