Burritos for bigots
A Florida burrito restaurant is under fire for mocking illegal immigrants in the names of menu items. Robert Kapuschanski, owner of Lola’s Burrito Joint, says that taking the “Wetback Willie” burrito off the menu in response to complaints was “the right thing to do, as a human being.” So far, however, he has not renamed either the “Dirty Sanchez” burrito or the “No Papers Shrimp.”
