Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
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.
For a heaping helping of the Great American Food Truck Race, see Lori Midson’s roundup.
