Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines:
The Great American Food Truck Race descended on Denver this past weekend, bringing lots of food and fun, as well as comments like this from Kay Ryan:
Uhmm… try not to use the term, “paddy wagon,” which originated from a time when the Irish were rounded up in large jail trucks; hence, the term, “Paddy” (a depersonalizing referring to all Irish men during a time when anti-Irish sentiment and harassment of Irish immigrants was very prevalent).
Never mind that the Paddy Wagon is the name of Chicago Louie’s hot dog truck , brought to us by Michael Wahaltere.
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
