What are your thoughts on that?Gustavo Arellano: What, the book, “Taco USA” I address that.There’s this misconception that it’s only rapacious Americans who are making all this money on Mexican food or Mexican food stuffs like Tequila, like hot sauce, tortillas, Fritos,

really kind of portray that theirs is authentic and yet they’re doing it here in the United States so how authentic could it be?Gustavo Arellano: Exactly. When it comes to food there’s always going to be that question of authenticity.What is authentic, what isn’t?

Broncos, they love the Broncos so much.Gustavo Arellano: It is an amazing dish.It is an absolutely amazing dish, yet it exists nowhere else in the United States.

What is your thought on that?Gustavo Arellano: I don’t think it’s ignorance as much as they just haven’t been exposed to it.And, of course, I guess that’s ignorance in a way where if there’s something in front of you and you don’t know it that’s ignorance, but at the same time, as you know, with foods

burn your insides out Michael Brown: and look how much heat I can take supersede the flavor and the balance of a well balanced salsa.Gustavo Arellano: Exactly. Americans, the world really, the world has always been enticed by heat, by spices.That’s what made Columbus, so they told me elementary school, sail the ocean blue, “Oh we need to get some pepper and salt and what not.”

cows eat on the grass there because the cows, cause that chili pepper, it’s still there and the cows are gonna eat it and they’re gonna die.Gustavo Arellano: So Americans, so part of that it’s like they’ve always known that about Mexican food, that it’s super spicy.So that masochistic tendency in our culture, you wanna eat the spiciest, hottest thing alive.

That’s where you have your chili contests, chili, you know, chili with beans or, no, no not with beans, don’t talk to Texans about that.Gustavo Arellano: But the, chili, you know, chili cookouts and so forth, but at the same time, again, Americans, when it comes to Mexicanfood, they don’t just eat what’s in front of them, they won’t just accept it.

Has that been your experience as well?Gustavo Arellano: Absolutely. For Mexicans, hot sauce, it’s really a condiment to use on just, on snacks.So, of course, on Doritos and Fritos and now you have Tapatio flavor Doritos and Fritos, and what do Mexicans do?

of a Mexican it’s Dexter Holland, you know, blonde hair punker with sunglasses going like this with guns.Gustavo Arellano: Somebody gave me the bottle and I threw it in the trash can immediately.It was that, “Oh, dumb Americans thinking they can steal Mexican food.” But then I became smart, I got smart so about 20 minutes later I fished it out of the trash

Michael Brown: Wow, that’s a bold statement.Gustavo Arellano: It is a very bold statement.I’ll stand by it.

Can you touch upon that a little bit and, again, how come a lot of the other Mexican spirits didn’t take off like the Mescal and the Tepache and stuff like that?Gustavo Arellano: Oh, I love Tepache.Tepache is this fermented pineapple drink that’s cut with brown sugar, it’s absolutely amazing.

So, technically, it can’t be called Tequila unless it’s made in 5 states in Mexico; Guanajuato, Tamaulipas, in I think Navolato Michael Brown: Novaleo?Gustavo Arellano: Novaleon and another one I can’t remember.90 percent of them are made in Jalisco which is the birthplace Jalisco, or, the birthplace of Tequila.

plant where Tequila comes from and I don’t think it’ll ever take off cause it’s basically like drinking alcoholic spit.Gustavo Arellano: It’s very frothy.It’s really good, it’s an acquired taste.

rude way. And when I married into the Mexican family I was very, very timid about speaking Spanish to my mother-in-law, my father-in-law, but they were just happy I was trying.Gustavo Arellano: Yeah, yeah.Michael Brown: And you touch in your book, and mention how a big attitude of Americans is like, “How come they’re not learning how to speak English?”

What’s your thoughts on that?Gustavo Arellano: Yeah, I talk about that a lot in my 'Ask a Mexican'' book.This idea of how Mexicans, they never simulate into the United States, that the only part, that the only part that Mexicans, that simulate into the Mexi-, into the United States is

I find that very interesting.Gustavo Arellano: Oh yeah, that’s awesome.The great thing with immigrant culture in this country is you have all these hybrids.

of pushed them out of the way?Gustavo Arellano: What’s happened, I mean, I have my own criticisms of what some people call the gourmet food truck, what I call the lux luncheria scenes, some people might criticizethem but I think it’s actually been the opposite.

the most famous dishes in upper Mexico.Gustavo Arellano: What we consider to be, quote unquote, Mexican food, even, quote unquote, authentic Mexican food by definition is inauthentic.That’s, so talking about, talking about Mexican food that’s just another bullet in the arguments of people who have this authenticity debate because what we know as Mexican food,
