Not only was La Lengua the subject of a newspaper article yesterday, it also made its debut on the local news. CBS 5 talks to Burrito Justice and a few other La Lenguans, and gets a lengua taco at some place called “Taqueria Can-Can.”
Watch it here.

my favorite part was when mr sugerman was telling that latino guy that the name of his neighborhood had changed.
Now they just need to get it on Craigslist as a neighborhood selection.
Concur.
I love Taqueria Con-cur.
I love it when white people make up names for their neighborhoods.
I love it when racists make comments on blogs.
I am white, how does that make me racist? Never mind, all white people are racist right?
No, but the ones who make snarky comments about white people sure are.
Being raised in this P.C. hell hole I can only hate on other straight white men. HATE! HATE! HATE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N5p8IXzNdc&feature=related
Clearly the cat had Mike Sugarman’s tongue. Some of the worst reporting I’ve ever seen.
Wow, I had no idea that “la lengua” was so difficult to pronounce.
it’s THEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Have you ever eaten a cow tongue, Thea?
No lenguas not ever!
he ate a ‘langa’ taco at taqueria ‘cancan’. this guy is hilarious.
I hate everything about this. “haha, I should know because I eat there a bunch!” Shut up, no you do not.
What tools, burrito justice, eye 5 and the neighborhood.
Thanks!
My new name for the area of The Mission around the 16th Street BART plaza is “Royal Gate”, after the plastic vodka bottles strewn everywhere.
And the tiles are on the sidewalk are the same color as the Royal Gate label http://8piece.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/royal-gate.jpg
Hot damn! I think it’s definitely high time the two of you appeared on the local news together. “Royal Gate” sounds great too.
“high time” Is that some kind of 420 joke? I am still stoned from last night and I don’t get it.
Wonderful, Allan. We could be like the Siskel and Ebert of The Mission. As in, I could have a another heart attack and croak, and my dying words could be, “I hope you get cancer and your jawbone gets cut off. Two thumbs up your butt, you fuck!”
More like Statler and Waldorf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14njUwJUg1I&feature=related
For the record, Mike Sugerman was really nice. He and his cameraman were pleasant and accommodating.
I understand all the snark re CanCan, but let’s keep in mind a news organization did their homework and spent 4 TV minutes looking into the blogger world. That’s pretty remarkable. (And I think we can thank @brittneyg and @bethspotswood for helping drag TV into the 21st century.)
Johnnyo, I have no idea why people are giving your idea such a hard time, but I’d like you to know that your forbearance would be inspiring to me if I had any potential for self-control at all. Your record as a Mission historian is a wonderful thing.
Thanks! I do believe the history angle the only reason people pay any attention to me whatsoever. But seeing all the crankypants is pretty funny, actually.
BTW, I’m loving your Flickr feed!
