Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. San Francisco gets a lot of hate, but you don’t get to hate it unless you love it. And one person I know who loves San Francisco is my colleague, Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, who proudly reps the Mission District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was just such a place where they were characters everywhere. It was definitely a feeling of like, everyone could do what they want or just be themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Carlos has seen the neighborhood through a lot of changes over the years. Stores closing, childhood friends priced out and beloved murals getting painted over. This Valentine’s Day, Carlos shares with us a story of one mural he loved dearly and what it meant to lose it. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I’m Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, and I’m the community engagement reporter with KQED. So my family first arrived in the Bay area when I was seven. We moved to Oakland. Back then it was myself, my mom, and at the time my stepdad. During that time, my little brother was born. We’re eight years apart. A few months later, when we moved to Hayward and and Hayward, things took a turn for the worst.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My stepdad. He did things that made my mom and myself unsafe emotionally and physically hurting us. And it got to a point where my mom decided to leave and come to San Francisco, because here there are several really, really amazing, incredibly helpful and generous shelters for moms and their kids. The reason we moved to San Francisco wasn’t a very happy one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was a very painful one, but it was also the start of a really, really amazing relationship with a place that welcomed us with a lot of people who worked really hard to make sure that we were safe and that we have what we needed. We first moved to Hays Valley, and that’s where we were for over a year and a shelter. And when I was ten, we made it to the mission where I still call home. At that time I was starting middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My middle school was in the Fillmore in the Western addition. It was a KIPP school, which for folks unfamiliar, that’s a charter school system, a very, very like disciplined charter school system. We had to be in school from 730 to 5. But as soon as it was five, the way that we would, like, run out like rats out of the school building to just hang out to like, run around for the kids who lived in the mission, you know, we’d get on the 22 and then eventually, you know, the 14, the 49 there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>They’re these huge busses, these long, super long busses, and they’re like kind of like two busses, like connected. And the back, the windows were a thing where all you had to do was push them and they would open up, and there were these huge windows and we would always be parting. None of us had like real speakers, but we all had like, radios. We like blasting like radio music and then like doing other stuff that you weren’t supposed to do in our bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>And then as soon as, like, you know, the driver would get mad at us. We’d all, like, jump out from those windows. Seeing friends, you know, like, hold onto the back of the bus because they were on their skateboards and they would just, like, grab on the back of the bus, and the bus would just, you know, like, ferry them through the mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There are definitely things that maybe things my friends and I were doing pretty early on that we shouldn’t have been doing. But it’s always been a very active, super colorful, super noisy, super loud part of the city, which I love. I was born and raised in Mexico City. Also, I’m very loud and very colorful and just very chaotic city. I knew I wanted to be back where there was just kids playing in the street, busses moving all the time, cars, music, am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Mission Street has always been that. I was ten years old when I first saw Al Fuego or Cease Fire by Juan Alisha on the corner of Mission Street and 21st Street. It’s immediately. What stood out to me was that it was the face like a kid. And this kid, he was standing on this beautiful, beautiful field. And there’s mountains and it looks so humid and green and just lush. But in front of him, there’s many, many machine guns pointing at him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But what’s separating him from the machine? Guns are two hands, huge hands. And you can’t see whose hands they are. They just appear in front of the kid. The kid is looking at you, and it’s very much like a mona Lisa effect, where no matter where you are on the intersection, it felt like he was looking at you. You know, they weren’t angry, they weren’t happy, they weren’t sad, but they were just eyes full of a very strong emotion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>That immediately struck me. You know the element like, why are guns pointing at this kid? Who is he and who are those hands? Now, the mural was showing a moment where, like, a kid was in danger. But this force, these hands came and defended him. I’ve always been very protective of my mom. We were very close. At that time, I brother was only one when we left the situation with my stepdad. I made a promise that I would always protect them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> Seeing a visual representation of hands coming to protect someone vulnerable, it’s showing me that it is possible and that I’m also in a place that believes in it, that strongly believes in it. You know, again, this wasn’t in a random alley. It was in the heart of this neighborhood. Tens of thousands of people must have walked past it every single day. Juan Alicia painted ceasefire in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There was a lot of armed conflicts throughout the region of Central America and in Honduras. There was a very active American intervention, and the mural was actually set in the fields of Honduras. Many of the folks left and came to San Francisco. You’ve had families coming from Central America for 40, 50 years. Many other parts of the US are seeing folks come from Central America, and it’s like the first wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But San Francisco is a place where you see, you know, two, three, four generations of Central American families here. And one Alysia in 1988 decides to paint a mural. Calling for a cease fire and a protection of civilians in Honduras. And that’s what we see. We see a young boy who represents the vulnerable civilian population of Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Being protected, being shielded away from a lot of the violence, a lot of the guns, a lot of the armaments that were being brought in thanks to American imperialism, American foreign policy objectives. You know, as I became, I feel like more and more San Franciscan, I learned that that is history of folks coming from Central America to create a sanctuary, a safe space for their homes, for their families here in the city. It really connected? With what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The reason that my family had come San Francisco. I first found out that the mural was the face through my mom. I’m out comes and I’m in high school. And she says, you can’t believe what happened to Juan Alice’s mural. And the next day I go check it out. And sure enough, someone had scribbled, I think, something like toy across it. A couple days later, more tagging happens on it and there was no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It wasn’t necessarily something like frustrating, but really just like a why why someone would do this to something so beautiful and important. As I understand Juan Alisha raised funds to try to rehabilitate the mural, but at the end of the day, then it happened. And then years later, the property owners commissioned another mural on top of it. And it’s the painting of a horse. The horses isn’t like doing anything or jumping over a fence or anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It’s just the horse, and it’s like standing on a beach or empty field and that’s about it. I really do think that it doesn’t have the same context and the same message. And I’ve definitely been in many conversations with people that are like, why is there a horse there and what? But years later, the horse is still there. So I guess it’s part of us now too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>One of my favorite things to do when I go running throughout the mission is because I have a list of favorite murals I like to see, and there are some murals are no longer exist, but I think that that is the one that I it’s the most. Years later, I actually got to see a version of the mural one more time. And this was at an exhibition organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission. They included one of the original sketches that Juan Alicia had made of the mural, and it wasn’t huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was like maybe three feet by four feet and there wasn’t any color. But you know the boy. He looked at you with the same intensity. The landscape was still as beautiful as it was when I first looked at it. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that I was seeing it after such a long time. I never thought I was going to see them like a version of that mural again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So much had happened since I had last seen it. I went to college, I graduated. I became a journalist. I learned so many things about myself and seeing it again. It was like coming back into contact with that younger version of me, and I realized, whoa, it doesn’t necessarily have the same grounding effect as it did before, but I think that’s okay. You know, so much has changed for the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My family, you know, we’ve obviously become a lot more stable. And we’ve been we’ve been able to grow. You know, my mom has been able to continue her career. My brother’s about to go to college. I. You know, I’ve been able to find a career I love. When we first came into this city, you know, we had so little and just so many, just the worries and anxieties and then seeing it again on the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I really appreciate that opportunity. When I think about this mural now. One of the things. That stands out is how San Francisco, this little place, specifically the mission, this little neighborhood, its place in the history of so many. Movements. So much organizing is just really, really cool. It just it shows you that this is in like the DNA of the community, of the neighborhood, of the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> I think it’s really cool when art, when public art can teach it again, because I came in as I’ve had no idea about any of this history, that I was like standing on sacred ground, pretty much. S.F. and the Bay. There’s always going to be tough spots and periods of transformation. But we have to have love for this version of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I feel like San Francisco had faith in me and my family when we first came in. Right? And I’m not someone who, you know, drops a ball or leaves the court when things are getting a little, a little tougher. Things are not going to get better if the people that love it stop loving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, a community engagement reporter for KQED.

You know, again, this wasn’t in a random alley. It was in the heart of this neighborhood. Tens of thousands of people must have walked past it every single day. Juan Alicia painted ceasefire in 1988.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>There was a lot of armed conflicts throughout the region of Central America and in Honduras. There was a very active American intervention, and the mural was actually set in the fields of Honduras. Many of the folks left and came to San Francisco. You’ve had families coming from Central America for 40, 50 years. Many other parts of the US are seeing folks come from Central America, and it’s like the first wave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>But San Francisco is a place where you see, you know, two, three, four generations of Central American families here. And one Alysia in 1988 decides to paint a mural. Calling for a cease fire and a protection of civilians in Honduras. And that’s what we see. We see a young boy who represents the vulnerable civilian population of Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>Being protected, being shielded away from a lot of the violence, a lot of the guns, a lot of the armaments that were being brought in thanks to American imperialism, American foreign policy objectives. You know, as I became, I feel like more and more San Franciscan, I learned that that is history of folks coming from Central America to create a sanctuary, a safe space for their homes, for their families here in the city. It really connected? With what?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>The reason that my family had come San Francisco. I first found out that the mural was the face through my mom. I’m out comes and I’m in high school. And she says, you can’t believe what happened to Juan Alice’s mural. And the next day I go check it out. And sure enough, someone had scribbled, I think, something like toy across it. A couple days later, more tagging happens on it and there was no explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It wasn’t necessarily something like frustrating, but really just like a why why someone would do this to something so beautiful and important. As I understand Juan Alisha raised funds to try to rehabilitate the mural, but at the end of the day, then it happened. And then years later, the property owners commissioned another mural on top of it. And it’s the painting of a horse. The horses isn’t like doing anything or jumping over a fence or anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It’s just the horse, and it’s like standing on a beach or empty field and that’s about it. I really do think that it doesn’t have the same context and the same message. And I’ve definitely been in many conversations with people that are like, why is there a horse there and what? But years later, the horse is still there. So I guess it’s part of us now too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>One of my favorite things to do when I go running throughout the mission is because I have a list of favorite murals I like to see, and there are some murals are no longer exist, but I think that that is the one that I it’s the most. Years later, I actually got to see a version of the mural one more time. And this was at an exhibition organized by the San Francisco Arts Commission. They included one of the original sketches that Juan Alicia had made of the mural, and it wasn’t huge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>It was like maybe three feet by four feet and there wasn’t any color. But you know the boy. He looked at you with the same intensity. The landscape was still as beautiful as it was when I first looked at it. I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that I was seeing it after such a long time. I never thought I was going to see them like a version of that mural again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>So much had happened since I had last seen it. I went to college, I graduated. I became a journalist. I learned so many things about myself and seeing it again. It was like coming back into contact with that younger version of me, and I realized, whoa, it doesn’t necessarily have the same grounding effect as it did before, but I think that’s okay. You know, so much has changed for the better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>My family, you know, we’ve obviously become a lot more stable. And we’ve been we’ve been able to grow. You know, my mom has been able to continue her career. My brother’s about to go to college. I. You know, I’ve been able to find a career I love. When we first came into this city, you know, we had so little and just so many, just the worries and anxieties and then seeing it again on the other side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I really appreciate that opportunity. When I think about this mural now. One of the things. That stands out is how San Francisco, this little place, specifically the mission, this little neighborhood, its place in the history of so many. Movements. So much organizing is just really, really cool. It just it shows you that this is in like the DNA of the community, of the neighborhood, of the Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong> I think it’s really cool when art, when public art can teach it again, because I came in as I’ve had no idea about any of this history, that I was like standing on sacred ground, pretty much. S.F. and the Bay. There’s always going to be tough spots and periods of transformation. But we have to have love for this version of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí: \u003c/strong>I feel like San Francisco had faith in me and my family when we first came in. Right? And I’m not someone who, you know, drops a ball or leaves the court when things are getting a little, a little tougher. Things are not going to get better if the people that love it stop loving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí, a community engagement reporter for KQED.

[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the simple formula, burritos are ever-evolving and are perfectly positioned for a number of fusion innovations like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/bayareabites/106808/sorry-sushi-burrito-japanese-program-certifies-authentic-cuisine\">Sushirrito\u003c/a> or the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13929778/afghan-burrito-berkeley-golden-sauce\">Afghan burrito\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, a slew of Bay Curious listeners have asked about burritos, usually some form of these two questions: “Were burritos invented in San Francisco?” and “What exactly is a ‘Mission-style’ burrito?”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Origins of a legend\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many Americans have been told that the burrito was created here in the United States, but others say that burritos are a Mexican creation through and through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of people are claiming that it’s American and a lot of people do not know that Sonora [does] not have corn tortillas,” said Francisco Hernandez, founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.elmetate.com/\">El Metate\u003c/a>, a Mission District taqueria on Bryant and 22nd Street. “They only have flour tortillas, so the burrito originally was created in Sonora.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/dining/2021/11/19/how-make-classic-sonoran-burros-de-machaca/8576497002/\">One theory for how burritos came about\u003c/a> is that the people of Sonora, a northern Mexican state that borders Arizona and New Mexico, used flour tortillas, because they traveled better on donkeys, called “burros” in Spanish. This might also be how the burrito, which literally translates to “little donkey,” got its name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some claim that the \u003ca href=\"https://naatikmexico.org/blog/beyond-the-burrito-food-in-the-yucatn-peninsula\">burrito dates back even further\u003c/a> to the Mayan empire when people stuffed veggies, and sometimes meat, into corn tortillas. Though some Mayan cuisine has surely influenced burritos, like \u003ca href=\"https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018283-cochinita-pibil?smid=url-share\">cochinita pibil\u003c/a>, modern burritos are famously made with flour tortillas. Another popular theory is that the modern-day burrito got its start \u003ca href=\"https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/food-and-drink/2022/02/11/el-origen-de-los-burritos-sabor-norteno-que-traspaso-fronteras-hasta-el-super-bowl/\">after Spanish colonization\u003c/a> in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, another northern Mexican state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any origin story when it comes to Mexican food, very few of them are indisputable,” said Gustavo Arellano, a \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> columnist and author of \u003cem>Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Born in San Francisco, eaten everywhere\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some time after the burrito came to San Francisco, it grew in size and, subsequently, in popularity. These large, foil-wrapped burritos came to be marketed as “Mission-style” burritos at some restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for who first created a “Mission-style” burrito, the origin is, unsurprisingly, disputed. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tlctaco.com/\">La Cumbre\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.elfarosoma.com\">El Faro\u003c/a>, two long-standing taquerias in San Francisco’s Mission District, are often brought up as the creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think of a burrito, you think humongous, humongous [wrapped] in foil,” Arellano exclaimed. “And you get to customize it to your own taste, and you say, ‘Oh, I can’t eat it. It’s too much.’ And then you eat it. You’re like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m so full,’ but you kind of don’t regret it. And then you do it again. What Americans now consider to be a burrito is the ‘Mission-style’ burrito.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arellano says the fast-casual food chain Chipotle spread this style of burrito around the U.S. in the mid-1990s. Chipotle’s founder modeled his business after the taquerias he used to frequent when he lived in San Francisco, bringing so-called “Mission-style” to the rest of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11961196\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/Burrito.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11961196\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/Burrito-800x795.jpg\" alt=\"Hand holding a large burrito stuffed with filling and wrapped in foil, cut in half.\" width=\"800\" height=\"795\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/Burrito-800x795.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/Burrito-160x159.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/Burrito.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A carne asada burrito from La Taqueria in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of La Taqueria/Instagram)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Miguel Jara, founder of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/lataqueriasf/?hl=en\">La Taqueria\u003c/a> which \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2023/08/04/la-taqueria-arguably-the-creator-of-the-mission-burrito-celebrates-50-years-in-business/\">celebrated 50 years\u003c/a> in the Mission this year, remembers getting burritos in the 1960s from a woman named Micaela Duran, who founded La Cumbre alongside her husband, Raul Duran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before me, there was a taco place out here, it’s called La Cumbre, and [it] had a meat market,” Jara said. “Miki was a real wonderful woman.

I mean, maybe,” she said. “As somebody who grew up enduring a lot of the violences of displacement and gentrification, I see the way in which cultural assets are packaged and commoditized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña-Govea remarks that “Mission-style” seems to be more of a term for outsiders, rather than for the people who make or grew up eating the food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think you just gotta keep an eye on who is marketing something as authentic or inauthentic,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem definitely isn’t the food, but the term. If “Mission style” was a tortilla itself, it might deteriorate, collapse under the sauciness of an idea that in one instance is too simple and too amorphous to contain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever the case, burritos — and maybe especially those that are falling apart — taste good, they can make you feel good, and like Arellano said, you’re always going to keep going back for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousquestion]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 id=\"episode-transcript\">Episode Transcript\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This is a computer-generated transcript.

Best thought. And that would be nachos. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Josh:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It would be really, really good bread and butter. That’s like, there’s no better food than that. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Eric: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I would love to eat potstickers for the rest of my life because you get the carbs which is on the outside, and then you get your veggies and meat or whatever you want in the filling so you can be creative. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Oscar:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Fried chicken. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And why? Fried chicken. What is it about it? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Oscar:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Oh, I [beep] love fried chicken. [laugh] So good!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Nik:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Pasta because I’m Italian and it’s in my blood. My blood is marinara and mozzarella. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alex:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> This is probably one of the hardest questions I’ve ever been asked in my life. [laughs then pauses] I’m going to go with burritos. I’ve never found myself, like, opposed to eating a burrito. Or if anybody asked me to go out and get any of them. So yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. You’re never like, not in the mood for a burrito, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alex:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those are the voices of some of my colleagues at KQED. As for me, it’s a burrito. Obviously! I’m actually sort of shocked more people didn’t give that answer. Burritos have that perfect combination of carbs, protein and veggies, all wrapped up in a portable package… oohh yeah! Delicious.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now I know a lot of YOU love burritos too because over the years you’ve sent in a lot of questions about them. Most often, questions asking about the history of the burrito. Like: Was the burrito invented in San Francisco? And what exactly is a \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mission-style \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">burrito?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To start in on some answers, we went to an expert…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My name is Gustavo Arellano. I’m a columnist for the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> and also author of the book, \u003cem>Taco U.S.A. How Mexican Food Conquered America\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Arellano is also a burrito historian, a job that I really wish I had known was an option when I was choosing a career…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any origin story when it comes to Mexican food, very few of them [laugh] are indisputable. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s tough to nail down exactly where burritos truly come from. … but what we do know is that the most popular style of burrito in America has roots that run through San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you think of a burrito, you think humongous, humongous in a foil. And you get to customize it to your own tastes and you say, “Oh I can’t eat it. It’s too much.” And then you eat it. “You’re like, Oh, my God, I’m so full,” but you kind of don’t regret it. And then you do it again. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what took over what Americans now consider to be a burrito is the “Mission-style” burrito. And that’s all because of Chipotle spreading around in the mid-1990s. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I’ll be honest, it feels like blasphemy to even utter the name “Chipotle” in a Bay Curious episode about burritos, but it’s true — the chain played a part in \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">popularizing\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the style of burritos that have taken over the U.S.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The founder of Chipotle used to live in San Francisco and when he decided to open a burrito chain in Colorado, he modeled his business off the taquerias he knew and loved here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So he got that exact same, what I call the stations of the burrito, the different stations really to customize your burrito. He replicated that, spread it around the country because, a big Mission-style burrito — it’s perfect college late night food. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> But — here’s a hot take — what if we told you that the Mission-style burrito, America’s most popular burrito, doesn’t really exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you mean about “Mission style?” [laughs] \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Today on the show, we’re visiting some of the most legendary taquerias in San Francisco to learn about the history of burritos in this town from the people who have dedicated their lives to making them. We’ll get to it right after this…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[BREAK] \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED podcasts engagement producer César Saldaña went to explore the neighborhood where the legend of this popular food is centered… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mission-style burritos are kind of this amorphous thing that no one really knows how to describe except to say that they’re big and wrapped in foil. And of course, you can find them in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I start out at one of the oldest taqueria’s in the Mission, aptly named La Taqueria, which just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. It’s also one of the most well known taqueria’s in the neighborhood and has even won a James Beard award. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[AMBI: Sounds of the busy restaurant outside] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The façade of the building is modeled to look kind of like an old Mission: white stucco with two large archways and brickwork instead of sidewalk. When I visited around lunchtime on a recent Friday, the restaurant was packed and the line of people waiting to order extended down the block. La Taqueria is still owned and run by its original founder, 82-year-old Miguel Jara. When I got there, he was taking orders and handing roses to his customers, so I asked him what that was about. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara:\u003c/b>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many years ago. This girl brought me a dozen of flowers. And I can’t take them home because my wife is going to get pissed off. Right? So I started giving them to people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel has a big smile and a bigger personality, and when he’s in the restaurant he spends a lot of time interacting with his customers. He’s originally from Tijuana, the Mexican city that borders San Diego, and he has a unique charm that … if you’re familiar with Tijuana … you know can only come from there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cem>Y en Tijuana, tienen unos tacos bien ricos. En todos lados! Cualquier comida que comes en Tijuana está sabrosa.\u003c/em> So you understand all that? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel says that the tacos in Tijuana are delicious, and the city he grew up in shaped how he thinks about food, and how he cooks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And you can taste it in La Taqueria’s menu.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And it’s not just the food that he’s put his heart into. Miguel has decided and shaped the feel of the entire restaurant.\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are lots of personal touches. The bottles of green salsa that sit on every table in the restaurant are his mother’s recipe which hasn’t changed since La Taqueria opened. But over 50 years, some things have changed, including the prices…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much was a burrito back then when you first opened? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> $0.90. The taco was $0.60. Quesadillas $0.25, sodas were $0.25. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alright so inflation, [both laugh] after 50 years!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> But that’s not all, he says that the \u003c/span>menu\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has adapted, depending on what his customers have asked for. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then somebody comes over and says, “What’s that?” Oh, that’s a quesadilla. He says, “Can you put meat on it?” Well I don’t see why not. And then somebody else comes over and says, “Hey, could you make that a little crispy?” Well, let’s try it! So they made their little menu, you know. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The food is obviously good. But don’t just take my word for it. A couple of his customers who happened to be grabbing lunch came up to us to say goodbye to Miguel. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A mother and daughter duo, they excitedly told me that they’d been eating at La Taqueria for 47 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[background conversation in Spanish]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maria Delia Melgar is 96. I asked her if she remembers when she first started coming to La Taqueria\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maria Delia Melgar: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cem>Oooh desde que nació\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She says she’s been coming since the place first opened.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> ¿Que comida le gusta aquí en el restaurante? \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maria Delia Melgar:\u003c/b>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Toda la comida. Carne asada. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Daughter: \u003c/b>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ella predicaba y se traía a toda la gente aquí a comer. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Maria Delia’s daughter says her mom loves dining with friends and family at La Taqueria. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And she says that she used to go to a place like this in El Salvador, where she grew up.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maria Delia: \u003c/b>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yo tuve uno alla en El Salvador, este mismo negocio aprendía ser yo a tanta clientes. \u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> And even though she may be Salvadoran, she says she loves Mexican food.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Maria Delia: \u003c/b>\u003cem>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Después de la salvadoreña, la mexicana. Si.\u003c/span>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Its loyal customer base is one of the main reasons La Taqueria has been able to stay open for half a century. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It might also help that in article after article, it’s named as one of the best places to get a quote-unquote “Mission-style” burrito. Although notably, unlike most other Mission taquerias, their burritos don’t include rice. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what does Miguel himself think about Mission-style burritos?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don’t know what’s a Mission-style burrito. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel thinks a burrito is just a burrito, whatever you put in it. But there is a sort of legend about the origins of the Mission-style burrito…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Before me there was a taco place out here, it’s called La Cumbre. Raul was the owner. And he had a meat market. Miki was a real wonderful woman. She always called me “mijo” and stuff like that when I saw her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miguel says Miki cooked great food, and the story goes that the firefighters from the nearby station would come in extra hungry. So she put two flour tortillas together, filled them with rice, beans, and meat, and that’s where the Mission burrito started.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether that’s true or not. I have no idea. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As for the often repeated story that burritos were originally invented in the States, and not Mexico… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in Mexico, they did burritos a long time ago. I can tell you it was 1957, ’58 — Boliches Corona. It was on the main street and they used to have burritos there.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I heard a similar thing from another Mission District restaurateur. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A lot of people are claiming that it’s American and it’s not. Because a lot of people do not know that Sonora do not have corn tortillas. They only have flour tortillas. So the burrito originally was created and done in Sonora.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Francisco Hernandez owns El Metate, another longtime Mission taqueria on Bryant and 22nd Street. He also mentioned La Cumbre and the meat market and that same woman, Miki, who originally joined two flour tortillas together to make huge burritos … before La Taqueria and El Metate even opened. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, if the Mission-style burrito exists, we’ve got two taqueria founders claiming the same story. And it definitely wasn’t Chipotle that created them. But when I asked about Mission-style burritos Francisco just sort of chuckled. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yes. What you mean Mission-style? [laughs]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b> \u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, if El Metate doesn’t make “Mission-style burritos,” what do they make?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m very picky because I know what I want and I know what I want to present to my people. My customers.

It’s something that is so popular that if we don’t have it, People ask for it. And it’s not on the menu.

The mole burrito is a secret menu item for those in the know … and now, you’re in the know. Francisco’s chicken mole burrito was definitely a first for me. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These sorts of innovations attract new customers and keep people coming back. And like Miguel mentioned, his customers have even come up with some new inventions for La Taqueria. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, at this point in the story, we’ve got two titans of burritos in the Mission who don’t know what a “Mission-style burrito” is … the idea of its existence breaks down even further when we consider culture. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, after finishing our mole burritos, Cecilia and I headed over to KQED studios to dive even deeper. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does the Mission-style burrito exist? Mm. I mean, maybe. But I think it looks different for everybody. You know? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you mean by that?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s not like my brain is confused and I’m like, “What is it?” It’s more of that, like, as somebody who grew up enduring a lot of the violences of displacement and gentrification, I see the way in which cultural assets are packaged and commoditized. I don’t know, I don’t like it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does it make you feel like Mission-style burritos are a creation that maybe comes from\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the neighborhood and culture but isn’t for the neighborhood and culture?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that anything that’s going to be like, this is the Mission style, blah, blah, blah, I automatically roll my eyes. I think that like a lot of us just become very kind of sketched out when there is kind of that vibe of like asking us to kind of identify and package any cultural asset or facet of cultural production. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like you’re being observed? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. It’s just so like, I don’t know, like, I don’t know, what am I going to tell you?\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And it kind of sounds like you’re picking up on the authenticity — and I know that’s a loaded word — but, like, the authenticity of the term itself and not the food. Like, maybe it doesn’t fit because it’s made to market something that has sort of always existed and always been here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think authenticity is kind of like a marketing tool. So I think you just gotta keep an eye on who is marketing something as authentic or inauthentic. So like, why are we calling it authentic and what does this serve? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[music]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I realize that no one really has a problem with Mission-style burritos. It’s the term itself that people take issue with because it feels like branding for something that has always existed and is constantly evolving. It seems like the term is trying to be bigger than the type of burrito it’s used to identify, something too broad with its defining feature being its size. And if you’re from the Mission, or from the Bay in general, you may have never even used the term “Mission-style burrito” because … it’s just a burrito.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And whether or not they originated with taquerias in the city, what we know for sure is that the burritos that people associate with the Mission are big, tightly wrapped in foil, and arguably one of the best comfort foods you can get. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Gustavo Arellano said earlier, they taste good, they can make you feel good, and you’re always going to keep going back for more.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today’s episode was reported by César Saldana and produced by Amanda Font.

These large, foil-wrapped burritos came to be marketed as “Mission-style” burritos at some restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for who first created a “Mission-style” burrito, the origin is, unsurprisingly, disputed. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tlctaco.com/\">La Cumbre\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.elfarosoma.com\">El Faro\u003c/a>, two long-standing taquerias in San Francisco’s Mission District, are often brought up as the creators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you think of a burrito, you think humongous, humongous [wrapped] in foil,” Arellano exclaimed. “And you get to customize it to your own taste, and you say, ‘Oh, I can’t eat it. It’s too much.’ And then you eat it. You’re like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m so full,’ but you kind of don’t regret it. And then you do it again. What Americans now consider to be a burrito is the ‘Mission-style’ burrito.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arellano says the fast-casual food chain Chipotle spread this style of burrito around the U.S. in the mid-1990s.

She always called me ‘mijo’ (my son) and stuff like that when I saw her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jara said Duran is credited with combining two flour tortillas to create an extra large burrito for hungry firemen who would come into the restaurant, and Hernandez, El Metate’s founder, echoed the same story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether that’s true or not, I have no idea,” Jara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The sturdy Mission burrito falls apart\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But whether or not the Mission-style burrito truly started in San Francisco might be a moot point because the very people Bay Curious spoke to about its origin story find its existence a little dubious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[What] do you mean [by] a Mission-style burrito?” Hernandez heartily chuckled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still laughing, Hernandez explained that even though many customers and media outlets regard El Metate’s burritos as “Mission-style,” he’s against the moniker because he simply makes burritos in the way that he traditionally would in Guanajuato, Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true for Jara, and even though La Taqueria’s burritos lack rice, the restaurant is still regarded as one of the pioneers for the Mission burrito.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, Jara said, “I don’t know what’s a Mission-style burrito.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These two taqueria titans don’t stand alone in this sentiment.

I mean, maybe,” she said. “As somebody who grew up enduring a lot of the violences of displacement and gentrification, I see the way in which cultural assets are packaged and commoditized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña-Govea remarks that “Mission-style” seems to be more of a term for outsiders, rather than for the people who make or grew up eating the food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think you just gotta keep an eye on who is marketing something as authentic or inauthentic,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem definitely isn’t the food, but the term.

[laughs then pauses] I’m going to go with burritos. I’ve never found myself, like, opposed to eating a burrito. Or if anybody asked me to go out and get any of them. So yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. You’re never like, not in the mood for a burrito, right? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Alex:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yeah. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Those are the voices of some of my colleagues at KQED. As for me, it’s a burrito. Obviously! I’m actually sort of shocked more people didn’t give that answer. Burritos have that perfect combination of carbs, protein and veggies, all wrapped up in a portable package… oohh yeah! Delicious.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now I know a lot of YOU love burritos too because over the years you’ve sent in a lot of questions about them. Most often, questions asking about the history of the burrito. Like: Was the burrito invented in San Francisco? And what exactly is a \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mission-style \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">burrito?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To start in on some answers, we went to an expert…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">My name is Gustavo Arellano. I’m a columnist for the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> and also author of the book, \u003cem>Taco U.S.A. How Mexican Food Conquered America\u003c/em>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Arellano is also a burrito historian, a job that I really wish I had known was an option when I was choosing a career…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any origin story when it comes to Mexican food, very few of them [laugh] are indisputable. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s tough to nail down exactly where burritos truly come from. … but what we do know is that the most popular style of burrito in America has roots that run through San Francisco.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you think of a burrito, you think humongous, humongous in a foil. And you get to customize it to your own tastes and you say, “Oh I can’t eat it. It’s too much.” And then you eat it. “You’re like, Oh, my God, I’m so full,” but you kind of don’t regret it. And then you do it again. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, what took over what Americans now consider to be a burrito is the “Mission-style” burrito. And that’s all because of Chipotle spreading around in the mid-1990s. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I’ll be honest, it feels like blasphemy to even utter the name “Chipotle” in a Bay Curious episode about burritos, but it’s true — the chain played a part in \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">popularizing\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the style of burritos that have taken over the U.S.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The founder of Chipotle used to live in San Francisco and when he decided to open a burrito chain in Colorado, he modeled his business off the taquerias he knew and loved here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[Music]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Gustavo Arellano: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So he got that exact same, what I call the stations of the burrito, the different stations really to customize your burrito. He replicated that, spread it around the country because, a big Mission-style burrito — it’s perfect college late night food. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> But — here’s a hot take — what if we told you that the Mission-style burrito, America’s most popular burrito, doesn’t really exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you mean about “Mission style?” [laughs] \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Today on the show, we’re visiting some of the most legendary taquerias in San Francisco to learn about the history of burritos in this town from the people who have dedicated their lives to making them. We’ll get to it right after this…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[BREAK] \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED podcasts engagement producer César Saldaña went to explore the neighborhood where the legend of this popular food is centered… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mission-style burritos are kind of this amorphous thing that no one really knows how to describe except to say that they’re big and wrapped in foil. And of course, you can find them in San Francisco’s Mission District. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, I start out at one of the oldest taqueria’s in the Mission, aptly named La Taqueria, which just celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. It’s also one of the most well known taqueria’s in the neighborhood and has even won a James Beard award. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[AMBI: Sounds of the busy restaurant outside] \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The façade of the building is modeled to look kind of like an old Mission: white stucco with two large archways and brickwork instead of sidewalk. When I visited around lunchtime on a recent Friday, the restaurant was packed and the line of people waiting to order extended down the block. La Taqueria is still owned and run by its original founder, 82-year-old Miguel Jara. When I got there, he was taking orders and handing roses to his customers, so I asked him what that was about. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara:\u003c/b>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many years ago. This girl brought me a dozen of flowers. And I can’t take them home because my wife is going to get pissed off. Right? So I started giving them to people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel has a big smile and a bigger personality, and when he’s in the restaurant he spends a lot of time interacting with his customers. He’s originally from Tijuana, the Mexican city that borders San Diego, and he has a unique charm that … if you’re familiar with Tijuana … you know can only come from there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cem>Y en Tijuana, tienen unos tacos bien ricos. En todos lados! Cualquier comida que comes en Tijuana está sabrosa.\u003c/em> So you understand all that? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel says that the tacos in Tijuana are delicious, and the city he grew up in shaped how he thinks about food, and how he cooks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And you can taste it in La Taqueria’s menu.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And it’s not just the food that he’s put his heart into. Miguel has decided and shaped the feel of the entire restaurant.\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are lots of personal touches. The bottles of green salsa that sit on every table in the restaurant are his mother’s recipe which hasn’t changed since La Taqueria opened. But over 50 years, some things have changed, including the prices…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How much was a burrito back then when you first opened? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> $0.90. The taco was $0.60. Quesadillas $0.25, sodas were $0.25. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alright so inflation, [both laugh] after 50 years!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> But that’s not all, he says that the \u003c/span>menu\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> has adapted, depending on what his customers have asked for. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then somebody comes over and says, “What’s that?” Oh, that’s a quesadilla. He says, “Can you put meat on it?” Well I don’t see why not. And then somebody else comes over and says, “Hey, could you make that a little crispy?” Well, let’s try it! So they made their little menu, you know. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The food is obviously good. But don’t just take my word for it. A couple of his customers who happened to be grabbing lunch came up to us to say goodbye to Miguel. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A mother and daughter duo, they excitedly told me that they’d been eating at La Taqueria for 47 years.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[background conversation in Spanish]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maria Delia Melgar is 96.

Although notably, unlike most other Mission taquerias, their burritos don’t include rice. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what does Miguel himself think about Mission-style burritos?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I don’t know what’s a Mission-style burrito. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Miguel thinks a burrito is just a burrito, whatever you put in it. But there is a sort of legend about the origins of the Mission-style burrito…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Before me there was a taco place out here, it’s called La Cumbre. Raul was the owner. And he had a meat market. Miki was a real wonderful woman. She always called me “mijo” and stuff like that when I saw her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Miguel says Miki cooked great food, and the story goes that the firefighters from the nearby station would come in extra hungry. So she put two flour tortillas together, filled them with rice, beans, and meat, and that’s where the Mission burrito started.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether that’s true or not. I have no idea. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> As for the often repeated story that burritos were originally invented in the States, and not Mexico… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Miguel Jara: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">in Mexico, they did burritos a long time ago. I can tell you it was 1957, ’58 — Boliches Corona. It was on the main street and they used to have burritos there.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I heard a similar thing from another Mission District restaurateur. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A lot of people are claiming that it’s American and it’s not. Because a lot of people do not know that Sonora do not have corn tortillas. They only have flour tortillas. So the burrito originally was created and done in Sonora.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Francisco Hernandez owns El Metate, another longtime Mission taqueria on Bryant and 22nd Street. He also mentioned La Cumbre and the meat market and that same woman, Miki, who originally joined two flour tortillas together to make huge burritos … before La Taqueria and El Metate even opened. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, if the Mission-style burrito exists, we’ve got two taqueria founders claiming the same story. And it definitely wasn’t Chipotle that created them. But when I asked about Mission-style burritos Francisco just sort of chuckled. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Yes. What you mean Mission-style? [laughs]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b> \u003cb> \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, if El Metate doesn’t make “Mission-style burritos,” what do they make?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Francisco Hernandez: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I’m very picky because I know what I want and I know what I want to present to my people. My customers. My only goal is fresh Mexican cuisine, fresh rice, fresh beans, fresh meat. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Francisco credits his success to the quality of his food, not any sort of moniker.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the day, burritos are an ever-evolving cuisine, especially here in the Bay. and at El Metate, one of their most popular burritos is even made with mole… \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">A traditional Mexican sauce that’s a meal on its own, made with a laundry list of ingredients including chilis, nuts, chocolate, veggies, and spices. It’s a labor of love that everyone does a bit differently … and it’s one of my favorite comfort foods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although I’ve never seen it incorporated into a burrito before!\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The day that I visited the restaurant, I had lunch with Cecilia Peña-Govea, aka the singer La Doña, aka chief burrito reviewer for SF Gate. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> I grew up coming here.

She said that the pepper had to be flavorful, but not sweet. My version of the mole It has a little bit of chocolate. It has the spices that she would use. It has garlic and onions. It’s something that is so popular that if we don’t have it, People ask for it. And it’s not on the menu. It’s a special.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> You heard it here first. The mole burrito is a secret menu item for those in the know … and now, you’re in the know. Francisco’s chicken mole burrito was definitely a first for me. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These sorts of innovations attract new customers and keep people coming back. And like Miguel mentioned, his customers have even come up with some new inventions for La Taqueria. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, at this point in the story, we’ve got two titans of burritos in the Mission who don’t know what a “Mission-style burrito” is … the idea of its existence breaks down even further when we consider culture. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, after finishing our mole burritos, Cecilia and I headed over to KQED studios to dive even deeper. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does the Mission-style burrito exist? Mm. I mean, maybe. But I think it looks different for everybody. You know? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">What do you mean by that?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It’s not like my brain is confused and I’m like, “What is it?” It’s more of that, like, as somebody who grew up enduring a lot of the violences of displacement and gentrification, I see the way in which cultural assets are packaged and commoditized. I don’t know, I don’t like it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Does it make you feel like Mission-style burritos are a creation that maybe comes from\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the neighborhood and culture but isn’t for the neighborhood and culture?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that anything that’s going to be like, this is the Mission style, blah, blah, blah, I automatically roll my eyes. I think that like a lot of us just become very kind of sketched out when there is kind of that vibe of like asking us to kind of identify and package any cultural asset or facet of cultural production. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like you’re being observed? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeah. It’s just so like, I don’t know, like, I don’t know, what am I going to tell you?\u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And it kind of sounds like you’re picking up on the authenticity — and I know that’s a loaded word — but, like, the authenticity of the term itself and not the food. Like, maybe it doesn’t fit because it’s made to market something that has sort of always existed and always been here.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Cecilia Peña-Govea: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think authenticity is kind of like a marketing tool. So I think you just gotta keep an eye on who is marketing something as authentic or inauthentic. So like, why are we calling it authentic and what does this serve? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[music]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>César Saldaña: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I realize that no one really has a problem with Mission-style burritos. It’s the term itself that people take issue with because it feels like branding for something that has always existed and is constantly evolving. It seems like the term is trying to be bigger than the type of burrito it’s used to identify, something too broad with its defining feature being its size. And if you’re from the Mission, or from the Bay in general, you may have never even used the term “Mission-style burrito” because … it’s just a burrito.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And whether or not they originated with taquerias in the city, what we know for sure is that the burritos that people associate with the Mission are big, tightly wrapped in foil, and arguably one of the best comfort foods you can get. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Gustavo Arellano said earlier, they taste good, they can make you feel good, and you’re always going to keep going back for more.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Olivia Allen-Price: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today’s episode was reported by César Saldana and produced by Amanda Font.

The police commission oversees police department policy and disciplinary hearings on police misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The department has made a lot of progress in recent years on sort of modernizing the way it deals with juveniles and with youth,” Benedicto said. “And this seems a little bit like a step backward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The annual hill bomb, which is not city-sanctioned, attracts hundreds of people to watch skateboarders of all ages fly down Dolores Street, and resulting injuries are not uncommon. But at this year’s event, scenes of a blocked Muni train covered in graffiti, small fires and teenagers running from police in riot gear overshadowed the gravity-defying runs down Dolores Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one attorney is exploring a lawsuit on behalf of the youth and families who believe they were wrongfully detained at the skateboarding event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of interest in suing and challenging this police misconduct to prevent something like this from happening again,” said Rachel Lederman, senior counsel at the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund. “Parents in particular are outraged at how they were treated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said she has spoken with children as young as 13 and adults in their 30s who were swept up in Saturday’s mass arrest. She plans to hold a meeting next week with the affected families, and didn’t have a timeline for when a lawsuit could be filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents waited four to six hours to reconnect with their children after they were detained at the event, Lederman said. “They were held as it became dark and cold. A lot of kids said they were freezing. They weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom, their phones were taken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju echoed some of the concerns in a public statement Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The militarized police response to a youth-led skateboarding event was a tremendous overreach that escalated tensions, endangered young people and onlookers, and violated people’s rights,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raju said his office has heard from several parents of kids who were detained on Saturday for hours, and some were transported to San Francisco General Hospital “for unknown reasons” before reuniting with their parents. One child who was detained was not attending the skate event at all, but got swept up in the arrests while riding a scooter to his friend’s house, \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2023/07/teens-trapped-injured-by-sfpd-in-dolores-arrests-parents-say/\">Mission Local\u003c/a> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have heard from at least one family whose child was detained on their way home despite having no skateboard or any affiliation with the event,” Raju said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was organized largely through word of mouth and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To many participants and onlookers, the hill bomb is a celebration of the city’s skate culture, youth and daredevil spirit. But it’s no doubt dangerous: Bruises and broken bones are a common occurrence. In 2020, a cyclist died in a collision with one of the skateboarders at the hill bomb event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to violent outcomes in the event’s history, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said that this year’s event was “\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RafaelMandelman/status/1678098260114944000\">safer than last year\u003c/a>” and said that the overall approach by police to shut down the event was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There may be individuals who got caught up in it who should not have been. But overall, this was a mob engaged in destructive and dangerous activities,” Mandelman told KQED. “I believe that they were provided significant advance notice that arrests were going to happen if the crowd did not disperse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He suggested another approach the city could take would be to create a city-sanctioned event for skateboarders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, police reported that some teenagers threw glass bottles and fireworks at the officers. SFPD was aware of the event beforehand and placed barricades on Dolores Street for traffic safety.

But I question whether what we saw made this more safe,” said Kevin Benedicto, a San Francisco police commissioner, who said \u003ca href=\"https://sf.gov/meeting/july-12-2023/july-12-2023-police-commission-meeting\">he plans to discuss the actions at tonight’s commission meeting\u003c/a>. The police commission oversees police department policy and disciplinary hearings on police misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The department has made a lot of progress in recent years on sort of modernizing the way it deals with juveniles and with youth,” Benedicto said. “And this seems a little bit like a step backward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The annual hill bomb, which is not city-sanctioned, attracts hundreds of people to watch skateboarders of all ages fly down Dolores Street, and resulting injuries are not uncommon. But at this year’s event, scenes of a blocked Muni train covered in graffiti, small fires and teenagers running from police in riot gear overshadowed the gravity-defying runs down Dolores Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one attorney is exploring a lawsuit on behalf of the youth and families who believe they were wrongfully detained at the skateboarding event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of interest in suing and challenging this police misconduct to prevent something like this from happening again,” said Rachel Lederman, senior counsel at the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund. “Parents in particular are outraged at how they were treated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lederman said she has spoken with children as young as 13 and adults in their 30s who were swept up in Saturday’s mass arrest. She plans to hold a meeting next week with the affected families, and didn’t have a timeline for when a lawsuit could be filed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some parents waited four to six hours to reconnect with their children after they were detained at the event, Lederman said. “They were held as it became dark and cold. A lot of kids said they were freezing. They weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom, their phones were taken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju echoed some of the concerns in a public statement Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The militarized police response to a youth-led skateboarding event was a tremendous overreach that escalated tensions, endangered young people and onlookers, and violated people’s rights,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raju said his office has heard from several parents of kids who were detained on Saturday for hours, and some were transported to San Francisco General Hospital “for unknown reasons” before reuniting with their parents. One child who was detained was not attending the skate event at all, but got swept up in the arrests while riding a scooter to his friend’s house, \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2023/07/teens-trapped-injured-by-sfpd-in-dolores-arrests-parents-say/\">Mission Local\u003c/a> reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have heard from at least one family whose child was detained on their way home despite having no skateboard or any affiliation with the event,” Raju said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was organized largely through word of mouth and social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To many participants and onlookers, the hill bomb is a celebration of the city’s skate culture, youth and daredevil spirit. But it’s no doubt dangerous: Bruises and broken bones are a common occurrence. In 2020, a cyclist died in a collision with one of the skateboarders at the hill bomb event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pointing to violent outcomes in the event’s history, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman said that this year’s event was “\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/RafaelMandelman/status/1678098260114944000\">safer than last year\u003c/a>” and said that the overall approach by police to shut down the event was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There may be individuals who got caught up in it who should not have been. But overall, this was a mob engaged in destructive and dangerous activities,” Mandelman told KQED. “I believe that they were provided significant advance notice that arrests were going to happen if the crowd did not disperse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He suggested another approach the city could take would be to create a city-sanctioned event for skateboarders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, police reported that some teenagers threw glass bottles and fireworks at the officers. SFPD was aware of the event beforehand and placed barricades on Dolores Street for traffic safety. Additional officers were also assigned to the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to police, an officer was assaulted while attempting to detain a 16-year-old after he spat at the officer’s face.

For most cities in the Bay Area, the answer is yes.

On the most recent New Year’s Eve, a storm dropped 5.46 inches of rain on San Francisco in one day, equivalent to over 4 billion gallons of water. That led to some sewage being discharged without full treatment — not just in San Francisco, but throughout the Bay Area. Collectively, the nine counties \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11938273/our-worst-nightmare-as-storms-raged-millions-of-gallons-of-sewage-spilled-into-bay-area-waterways-streets-and-yards\">discharged some 62 million gallons\u003c/a> of raw or partially treated sewage into waterways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How do we keep that from happening again, as storms like these become more common as the climate changes? One idea is creating more “green infrastructure” by capturing or diverting some of that water before it gets into the sewer system. That could be in the form of cisterns to collect water for use in drier times, opening up more green space or creating permeable asphalt to allow water to soak into the soil below.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Are there really underground rivers in San Francisco?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A listener named Norm wrote to us asking about an oft-repeated story about San Francisco’s secret, underground rivers. He mentioned \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2021/09/29/central-subway-construction-is-98-done-but-you-wont-be-allowed-in-until-next-spring-or-summer/#:~:text=%22We%20did%20not%20know%20that%20we%20would%20hit%20an%20underground%20river%20that%20we%20would%20have%20to%20contend%20with.\">a 2021 quote from the director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency citing an “underground river”\u003c/a> as part of the reason the city’s Central Subway completion was delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By definition, a creek or river is free-flowing water that follows a channel, like a creek bed, either on the surface or in an underground cave.

But inland waterways have been covered up over time, too. A few years ago, Pomerantz created the “\u003ca href=\"http://seepcity.org/index.html\">Seep City\u003c/a>” map, which traces waterways that existed when San Francisco first became a city. That includes the bays, but also numerous creeks and large areas of marshland and estuaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one time, much of the Mission District was marshland fed by the Arroyo Dolores, a waterway that ran from Twin Peaks down the center of 18th Street and through the northern corner of modern-day Dolores Park. That led to a larger saltwater marsh and slough that fed into Mission Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those waterways have since been filled, but the topography of the land hasn’t changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, if you think of the shape of the land,” says Pomerantz, “and if you’re a bicyclist, especially, like I am, you notice the shape of the land because you’re avoiding the hills. That’s what the water does.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug] In addition to gravity leading rainwater down to those lower-lying sections of the city in the form of storm runoff, groundwater is also seeping through the soil to pool in those areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when it’s raining really hard, says Pomerantz, the combination causes flooding. San Francisco’s large concentration of groundwater, coupled with increasing atmospheric river storms and the potential for sea level rise, could pose a big problem for the city. A new study finds that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11938215/new-study-finds-rising-groundwater-is-a-major-bay-area-flooding-risk\">rising groundwater has huge implications for future flooding events\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. What happens to the ground squirrels when it floods? Do they drown?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Our final question comes from listener Emily Robertson. In light of the massive flooding many cities have dealt with recently, Emily was worried that California ground squirrels might be getting flooded out of their burrows — or worse, drowning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the answer to this question, we turned to \u003ca href=\"https://www.jenniferelainesmith.com/\">Jennifer Smith\u003c/a>, a behavioral ecologist who studies social mammals, and specializes in squirrel behavior. For nearly a decade, Smith has been leading a research team in a long-term study of California ground squirrels in Briones Regional Park in Martinez. The team safely traps and marks the fur of individual animals so they can study their behavior and social patterns over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11940549\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_8118-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11940549 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/IMG_8118-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"A small, fuzzy, and very cute juvenile ground squirrel pops out of a burrow.

It turns out they’re well-prepared for the possibility of flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may look like that burrow entrance will go directly down, and it might go a foot down or something, but it actually spreads out underground,” says Smith. “And part of the design is to have horizontal rather than vertical burrows. The horizontal nature of the underground structure is quite resistant to rainfall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burrows branch out into numerous sections that can be extended if they become wet. So when the rains are thundering above, the ground squirrels stay nice and dry in their complex, multilevel burrows. They’re even good at withstanding intentional flooding: People who consider ground squirrels pests may stick a hose in the burrow to attempt to drive the squirrels from their home. But observations show that doesn’t really work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The squirrels are very, very faithful to their home,” says Smith. “They’ve invested a lot. They’ve constructed it, and they’ll usually stay. So we know from those types of studies that’s not a very effective method.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, because ground squirrels typically live in family groups, a family may stay in the same burrow for many generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: In researching this story, we asked if you had any questions about squirrels in the Bay Area.

On the most recent New Year’s Eve, a storm dropped 5.46 inches of rain on San Francisco in one day, equivalent to over 4 billion gallons of water.

But inland waterways have been covered up over time, too. A few years ago, Pomerantz created the “\u003ca href=\"http://seepcity.org/index.html\">Seep City\u003c/a>” map, which traces waterways that existed when San Francisco first became a city. That includes the bays, but also numerous creeks and large areas of marshland and estuaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one time, much of the Mission District was marshland fed by the Arroyo Dolores, a waterway that ran from Twin Peaks down the center of 18th Street and through the northern corner of modern-day Dolores Park.

In light of the massive flooding many cities have dealt with recently, Emily was worried that California ground squirrels might be getting flooded out of their burrows — or worse, drowning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the answer to this question, we turned to \u003ca href=\"https://www.jenniferelainesmith.com/\">Jennifer Smith\u003c/a>, a behavioral ecologist who studies social mammals, and specializes in squirrel behavior. For nearly a decade, Smith has been leading a research team in a long-term study of California ground squirrels in Briones Regional Park in Martinez.

It turns out they’re well-prepared for the possibility of flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may look like that burrow entrance will go directly down, and it might go a foot down or something, but it actually spreads out underground,” says Smith. “And part of the design is to have horizontal rather than vertical burrows. The horizontal nature of the underground structure is quite resistant to rainfall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burrows branch out into numerous sections that can be extended if they become wet. So when the rains are thundering above, the ground squirrels stay nice and dry in their complex, multilevel burrows. They’re even good at withstanding intentional flooding: People who consider ground squirrels pests may stick a hose in the burrow to attempt to drive the squirrels from their home. But observations show that doesn’t really work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The squirrels are very, very faithful to their home,” says Smith. “They’ve invested a lot. They’ve constructed it, and they’ll usually stay. So we know from those types of studies that’s not a very effective method.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, because ground squirrels typically live in family groups, a family may stay in the same burrow for many generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: In researching this story, we asked if you had any questions about squirrels in the Bay Area.
