Candie Yoder is a chef and food truck owner in San Antonio, Texas. Amongst her specialties is Asian Fusion. The food she whips up includes Korean BBQ,Japchae, and Bibimbap. Her most popular dish is probably Korean Fried Chicken. There is no denying that the food looks appetizing. However, the San Antonio Express-Newsreports, some people are not happy with her. Why? The name of her food truck is getting people in a tizzy. It’s called, “ Cockasian.”

Does the right to display something offensive end at someone else’s eyes, much like some folks tout that the right to smoke ends at their nose?

"The very popular Sriracha sauce, known colloquially as "cock sauce":"

Have some of that in the fridge. Must handle with care as a little bit goes a long way. To much and it will burn your mouth down.

Thanks RB, my morning coffee is all over the breakfast table! That’s really funny!

Blame public schools and phonetic spelling....

That stuff is great!. Buy three bottles at a time so I am sure I never run out. Also people should buy the stuff on principle, because the town in SoCal where it is made has been f—king with the manufacturer.

I find ‘offended’ people to be the most offensive.

I used to get offended at all these people getting offended all the time but being that offended gets pretty damned exhausting. I’m too tired to care anymore.

We have one of those in jacksonville. I believe that the Fu King Chinese restaurant is still in ocala.

“When my son was in college ,in Florida ,there was a small Chinese place named “Chinee Takee Outee”.”

In San Diego, there is a sushi restaurant on Harney Street called Misou Harney Sushi. An ad in the paper for them made it into one of Jay Leno’s routines.

Cockasian food truck? It must be a sub-compact.

“Cockasian”

So the serving size is smaller than normal?

Don’t eat Pho without it!

I’ve heard very little, that asian-cock-thing.

Glad to see CA isn’t the only state with gaudy 3rd world roach coaches.

[Organic Panic]

There aren’t Asian roosters? Just paint a rooster with asian eyes and tell the complainers to piss off.

It was in JAX.
