Episode description
#370 If you think debating sports gets heated, try pitting two seasoned food writers against each other in a fantasy taco draft. In this episode of Happy Half Hour, San Diego Magazine’s Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant take their taco opinions to battle, drafting their top picks from San Diego’s legendary mom-and-pop taco shops. From the OG Roberto’s to the smoky magic of Ed Fernandez Birrieria, they break down what makes each spot worthy of the list—and why some controversial omissions (looking at you, Lolita’s) might spark a citywide revolt. Who built the superior taco dream team? That’s for you to decide.
