CULINARY POLITICS-ELEMENTAL NEWS OF THE DAY COMMENTARY-OPINION-SPORTS-FOOD SERVICE FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2019 BY CHEF PEDRO MUÑOZ
BLOG POST #3,316 AT THE AICP-END
342 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY 2020
California’s
golden dream is dying, thanks to the Democrats…
San Diego, CA 92122, 11-29-2019 Friday: IF you live in the crumbling
Golden State AND you watch television, you see these ads from, I think, “Keep
California Golden,” or some opossum feces such as that, in which, the
narrator says he, as California, is ‘leaving this and that to the people of
California as long as they promise to care for it and to pass it on the way
they found it.” If you have seen these vexing
PSAs you understand that it is a load of crap and that our state is rapidly
becoming a binary one in which, we have loads of wealthy people littering the
top and even more folks living in poverty at the bottom. It is not what it was when I was younger and
sadly since Gov. Pete Wilson left office, we have been in a long, slow decline.
The ads are crap, mis amigos, but then, I already said
that. IF the narrator of the commercial mentioned
something like, ‘and California, I charge each of you, rich and poor alike, not
to let homeless destitute drug addicts drop their trousers and leave a big
steaming load of fecal matter there for everyone to step in as they attempt to
avoid other piles and big slick patches all over the sidewalk of half-dried
drug addict urine.’
Everyone I know laughs at these so-called ‘public service
announcements’ about ‘protecting’ what we have here in our once-golden state,
because it is clear that if you venture into any city along the coast or up the
central valley region, you will see disgusting piles of human waste and puddles
of urine what with used hypodermic needles floating in them or littering the streets.
If you go out walking with your dogs in the morning, you will
see signs up and down major streets proclaiming this group and that group
claims responsibility for keeping a stretch of road clean. Well, I may see the signs but there is scant
evidence that anyone is honoring their word so they can maintain the sign that
acknowledges their ‘non-existent public service.’
San Diego is not immune from this sort of neglect as we
always have Democrats running the show.
They all toe the line with whatever bull crap emanates out of Sacramento
from our beloved governor, the “Smiler,” Gavin Newsom. This loser is happy to preside over the
downfall of the state all the while proclaiming he is working for US and for
OUR STATE. He is the worst.
I think that he and our state attorney-general, the
not-so-illustrious Xavier Becerra, like seeing the state the way it is because
they can then use the misery and sadness that seems to permeate everything here
as yet another avenue with which they can blame Donald Trump, even though
Republicans have had NO control here for about two decades.
The Smiler wants to do away with all fossil fuels so we can
live the dream the leftist environmentalists continue bragging about, a dream
so distant, a dream so laughable, that every single day of the week, people are
piling their household goods into the backs of U-Haul trucks, onto the tops of
their cars and into the backs of their pickup trucks like Dust Bowl refugees of
the 1930s and heading back to the Midwest.
For those of us unwilling to pull up stakes and move to
friendlier environs, we see the costs of doing business going up by the
day. The cost of power, the cost of
paying taxes, the costs of supplies coupled with an ever-increasing minimum
wage which is driving up the cost of everything, almost like a VAT tax, is
causing one restaurant after another to close.
Businesses cannot keep their doors open if they are paying
out more than is coming in and as businesses close one by one so do the companies
that supply them. Everyone from the food
and beverage services to uniform and laundry companies are having a grim time maintaining
their employees and providing them full-time hours, because unlike other parts
of the country where the Trump economy is booming, we are in a state that is
contracting.
Our blog is based in Oildale, California, part of Greater
Bakersfield and even there, where the economy is doing somewhat better,
restaurants are closing. A place that my
wife and I have enjoyed dining at over the years- Café Med- is closing after 28
years in business and right before the holidays.
Chef-owner Meir Brown has run a quality establishment for a
long, long time and was unable to keep up with the costs of doing business over
the summer, which he says hit $8,500 per month.
This included compensating 50 employees, paying rent, paying for gas and
electric, and paying for supplies.
Every restaurant has to suffer these costs and for many, with
the California minimum wage creeping up all the time, people have to determine
whether it is even worth doing business.
It seems like every day, another chain restaurant opens up
just do the ever-present food trucks, many of them unlicensed and devoid of health
inspections. If you go to an event like
a live show or a sporting event at night, the moment you exit, all sorts of
illegal aliens have grills set up where they cook mystery meat stuffed into
tacos and burritos.
Like spending time in the Caribbean, anyone with common sense
understands that to eat ‘street food’ is to put one’s life at risk. Yet, here are these illegal vendors selling
dog or cat meat and very seldom is it worth the trouble of a cop or health
inspector showing up.
Anyone who purchases food from these people or a food truck
or from a chain restaurant is stabbing local restauranteurs in the
heart. Our business is struggling to
survive and I am not sure how long my kids will be able to keep the family-owned
operation alive and well but if we do not flip the state from deepest,
darkest blue to a bright blood red between here and 2024, we may as well head
east with everyone else.
Gov. Newsom, I truly hope that a POS such as yourself is
proud of the irreparable damage you are causing our state. I hope we see you recalled and booted out of
office because you need to go.
Take that other POS Xavier Becerra with you and don’t let the cantina
door hit you in your asses on the way out.
See you tomorrow. I
hope I am in a better mood and I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was a good one.
Nos vemos entonces para la sesión de fin de semana.

This is a caricature of me created by up-and-coming
Bakersfield street artist Simone. We
decided to go this route to protect our identities from readers who make some
virulent threats, which means we find it best to use cartoons instead of
photos. Anyhow, I began my culinary career in the 1950's and
had the good fortune of working with many different chefs before meeting my
good friend, Stinkbug, in the mid 1980's in Bakersfield. I am still working part-time in my semi-retired years in my
hometown in San Diego, CA.

FEATURED ALBUM OF THE DAY:
The Zombies, dead and buried, yet their record company put out the next of what would be the next of many compilation albums. “Zombie Heaven,” came out on December 12, 1997 and it featured 119 unbelievably important tracks, some of which appeared on singles and many others recovered from the vaults. While you might only find it on CD if you search the web, you sure as heck can find it on wax so visit your favorite record store, i.e., Amazon.com, and consider adding it to your collection- you will be you did. After all, at less $35, what the heck do you have to lose? Thank you for your patronage.
SPECIAL ALBUMS OF THE DAY:
Posted at the Friday, March 08, 2013 Blog Post:
Today’s Mothers of Invention album is their eighteenth album, “You can’t do that on Stage anymore, Volume Two,” which appeared on record store shelves on October 25, 1988 and was the second installment in a series of the more dubious onstage antics of the Mothers of Invention. For those who love for what the Mothers once stood—X-rated, musical humor, this is a must-have series of albums and this is the first installment. We recommend that you take the link posted above, go to Amazon.com, and buy this album NOW. Thank you.
Posted @ the Thursday, October 02, 2014 Blog Post A:
Bad Company released their first ‘best of’ compilation, “Very Best of Free and Bad Company” on March 29, 2010, that included many of both band’s biggest tunes culled from their collection of historic albums. These two bands rank among the top 10 of all-time greatest rock and roll bands which is why every fan of the group, its predecessor components, mainly Mott the Hoople and British hard-rock blues, should want to add to your growing CD and LP collection. We hope you will seek it out by searching for it at Amazon.com; you definitely will be glad you did.
WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR PATRONS AND BENEFACTORS FOR KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN…
