[@deathblade909]

Teddy you rock, Your story really hits home. My father also came to this country and was a baker for many years, and one day a guy he had known sold him a bakery. My dad didnt have money but the guy told him to only give him a part and pay him later. Thanks to that decision me and my siblings have gone to college, and we all take our kids to the bakery to teach them the value of hard work. Keep on doing your thang

[@CruzR1111]

@@janetabba1975 yes good observation. Mexican food has had massive rise in australia over the last decade, particularly with a large influx of Mexicans moving to Australia. Also because of MasterChef Australia and Guzman Y Gomez the largest expanding franchise in Australia which is actually pretty decent fast food started by couple of Americans a dozen years ago who’ve been so successful I think they expanded into the USA. There is a Birria Taco place near my house in Sydney and he owned another one other side of Sydney and it’s booody delicious. I have no reference point for Birria other watching a lot of YT vids and studying the flavours but it seems pretty authentic to the ones I’ve seen by Mexican Birria Taco cooks.
