I had the tasty pleasure of hanging out with a couple of wonderful cooks from SF (by way of Mexico) who are very very passionate about one of my greatest loves; food.

I documented the couple of days and made this Kickstarter video for them. Their idea is simple but unique. Like the farmer, Maria Catalan, who owns her own 50 plus acre organic farm, who is featured in this video, it is still too rare to see migrantes come out from behind the scenes to claim their own in this current local/sustainable food movement.

Elizabeth Tinajero and Jose Ramos are very talented and very passionateabout what they do. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PROJECT in any way that you can. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/285874484/media-naranja-taco-shop?ref=watched_project_launched
