안녕하세요 구독자 여러분! 오늘 소개할 내용은 정말 흥미롭고 감동적입니다. 최근 로스앤젤레스에서는 타코가 아프리카계 미국인들의 문화적 상징으로 자리잡고 있다는 소식이 전해졌습니다. 이는 오랫동안 타코가 주류 문화에 속했던 것과는 대조적인 변화입니다. 이 기사에 따르면, 아프리카계 미국인 셰프들과 사업가들이 타코를 자신들의 정체성을 표현하는 수단으로 활용하면서, 이를 통해 자신들의 역사와 문화를 알리고 있다고 합니다. 이는 단순한 음식 트렌드 이상의 의미를 지니는 것으로, 소수 민족의 문화적 자긍심과 자아 정체성을 보여주는 사례라고 할 수 있습니다. 구독자 여러분, 이 흥미로운 소식을 함께 공유해주셔서 감사합니다.
Sky’s Gourmet Tacos: A Culinary Journey from Waukegan to Los Angeles
The Fateful Taco That Sparked a Passion
Barbara “Sky” Burrell, the owner of Sky’s Gourmet Tacos on Pico Boulevard, had a life-changing experience when she was just 12 years old. Growing up in Waukegan, Illinois, outside of Chicago, she saw a neon, taco-shaped sign in the window of a local restaurant that captured her curiosity. Begging her mom to take her there, she remembers the taco being horrible – mushy, with no taste, and not even seasoned with salt and pepper. However, the crispy fried tortilla and the hot sauce she added to it sparked something within her. “Something snapped with that taco. I saw that I could do something with it,” Burrell says.
Experimenting with Homemade Tortillas
Determined to create a better taco, Burrell and her mother drove across Chicago to a Latin market where they found corn tortillas, which were sold in cans back then. Burrell began experimenting, first heating the tortillas in the oven and then frying them in a skillet with butter. “I said, ‘Oh! This is just right,'” Burrell recalls. From that moment on, she became unafraid to experiment with different ingredients, plucking avocados from her family’s backyard tree, scrambling eggs with tomato, or spooning baked potato on top. On Fridays, when her family observed the Catholic tradition of eating seafood, she made delicious shrimp tacos.
Blending Southern and Latin Influences
With her mother and grandparents being from Georgia, Burrell also took inspiration from Southern cuisine. She would cook down pork neck bones, stripping the tender meat and crisping it up in the skillet before wrapping it in a tortilla. “It was just like carnitas,” she says. “Delicious, OK?”
Bringing Tacos to Southern California
Discovering the Art of Tortilla-Making
Burrell’s taco obsession only grew after relocating her family to Southern California in the 1970s. First settling in San Diego before moving to L.A. in 1975, she would head down to National City every Saturday morning, where she watched tortillas being made fresh by hand and was introduced to guacamole. “I didn’t realize then how much it was becoming a part of me, a staple in my life,” she says.
Opening Sky’s Gourmet Tacos
Burrell still remembers the day she had the idea to open her own taco stand: January 23, 1992. She was nine months into unemployment after quitting her decade-long career in wealth management, and her sizable savings were dwindling. “I woke up one morning and said, ‘Tacos!'” By February, she had secured a location on Pico Boulevard, and on March 5, 1992, at 1:44 p.m., she opened Sky’s Gourmet Tacos, making tacos on a 24-inch Wolf stovetop, with just a handful of seats across the cozy interior and patio.
Pioneering Black Chefs and the California Soul Cuisine
The Signature Shrimp Taco
The menu featured just five tacos to start – chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, pinto bean, and the shrimp taco that Burrell had been perfecting since adolescence. Generously doused in a sweet and tangy sauce, cooked in butter and wrapped in a corn tortilla that’s dipped in the same sauce before getting crisped on the grill, the shrimp taco quickly became the signature item. “It was new, it was different — people lined up,” Burrell says.
Joining the Pioneering Class of Black Chefs in L.A.
What Burrell didn’t know then was that she belonged to a pioneering class of Black chefs in L.A. Like her, many were trained in their home kitchens. Nevertheless, the still-growing group put their stamp on the taco, inducting it into California soul cuisine.
