For Bitefully’s first-ever live recording, we talk to a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner about the plate of food he’s been chasing his whole life.
In front of an audience at Mid-City CAN’s Impact Luncheon, Chef Claudia Sandoval talks with Lalo Alcaraz, creator of the nationally syndicated comic strip La Cucaracha, about the most impactful food memories that shaped him.
From there, the stories get wilder: a San Antonio greasy spoon with some very unusual security, a family tamalada gone sideways, and the truth about “breakfast wine.” Lalo also looks back on the week the Latino internet took on Disney, his work on Pixar’s Coco, and why he’s always counted hate mail as a win. For him, a cartoon’s job is to make people think critically. And like that one plate, the best ones live in your head forever.
