00:00Only eating foods invented by immigrants, part four.
00:02First, I went to Salt Hanks because the French dip sandwich
00:04was actually invented by a French immigrant in LA
00:06named Philippe.
00:07Apparently, he accidentally dropped a French roll
00:09into a pan filled with all these hot beef drippings,
00:11but the customer said he'd eat the sandwich anyway,
00:13and the French dip was born.
00:15And it's that spicy, creamy, horseradish garlic aioli
00:18with the rich, juicy prime rib and the melty cheese
00:20and that like crusty juice-soaked bread.
00:22It's magnificent.
00:23And then I went to get a mission-style burrito,
00:25which was actually invented by Mexican immigrants
00:27in San Francisco's Mission District.
00:29Apparently, they were invented for like local firefighters
00:31who could eat these massive super burritos
00:33with these huge, stretchy, steamed flour tortillas
00:36just overflowing with rice and beans and sour cream
00:39and guac and chicken and salsa.
00:41It's just like the most cheesy, satisfying bite.
00:43It's so soft, it's so spicy, and the guac is so fresh.
00:46And finally, I got a bunch of fortune cookies
00:48from my local Chinese restaurant
00:49because while there are similarly shaped cookies from Japan,
00:52these hollow, crunchy, sweet cookies
00:54that we know and love in America
00:55were actually invented by a Japanese immigrant
00:57in San Francisco.
00:59They're also so good to dip in ice cream.
01:00It's kind of like a dessert, chips, and guac situation.
01:02But yeah, that's all for today.
