Okay, this tops the food news and missionmission had it first–taking a quesadilla from El Farolito all the way to New York? This reminds me of the time someone took a mole burrito from Papalote to the mid-West.

I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised.
