Pretty sorry job of summarizing the story. You could at least give the name and city while you pimp the blog.

Or find a site that allows excerpting.

Thanks for that.

If someone wants a legitimate source:

Protest against Trump’s Dallas visit may also target Mi Cocina restaurants
http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2016/06/protest-against-trumps-dallas-visit-may-also-target-mi-cocina-restaurant-chain.html/

Here’s the real story within the story. It’s a litigation tactic:

“Mi Cocina, a Tex-Mex restaurant in North Texas, was sued in 2014 by five Hispanic employees who said they were denied breaks and were owed overtime pay.”

Texas does have whiney liberals and race baiting douchebags ... let them stamp their feet and holler till they pass out in the heat of the Texas’ sun for all I care.

Mexico enforces its southern border (their northern one too, come to think of it) and Texans who haven’t bought the absurd progressive line (and lies) want to enforce ours.

ConjunctionJunction beat you to it, and I’ve provided a link to a legitimate source that gives some background. I’m not about to click on the qz blog site.

Seems like an old Mexican chain might be insufficient to tear a whole city apart.

Nice job summarizing, Zippy.

Just my luck, they have no restaurants nearby me. Food looks great, I would love to try it.

Perhaps this publicity is the first phase in a national roll out? I can only hope!

I was in Dallas a few weeks ago. Stumbled into this place and recommend it.

“Mi Cocina in Dallas, Texas.”

Thanks for the info. I’m going to make it a point to take the wife and kids there on our next night out.

Boy howdy, what an advertising coup.

And... It’s free. Wow.
