00:00 Latinos, we add flavor to everything.
00:04 Look at the tortilla.
00:06 Before Salvadoranos, it was just a plain tortilla.
00:10 Then we came, we added pork belly, cheese, seasoning,
00:15 loroco.
00:17 Ooh, Salvadoranos was like, "Let's call this a pupusa."
00:22 Honduranos, they took a tortilla and made a baleada.
00:26 You order it at the wrong place, you'll get shot.
00:32 Mexicans, right? Mexicans, they took the tortilla
00:35 and made 300 different dishes.
00:39 We have tacos, tacos dorados, tacos de canasta,
00:43 enchiladas, chilaquiles, tostadas.
00:46 [cheers and applause]
00:50 That's right.
00:52 White people, they're still trying to figure out
00:54 how to season the chicken.
00:56 [laughter]
01:00 "Excuse me, do you add the seasoning
01:03 before you boil it or after you boil it?"
01:06 [laughter]
01:09 Both of my parents are from Ciudad Delgado.
01:12 [cheers and applause]
01:14 Yes, yes, yes.
01:16 Which I find ironic, 'cause Ciudad Delgado
01:19 means "City of the Skinny."
01:21 [laughter]
01:24 [cheers and applause]
01:34 I don't know if you know this,
01:36 but there is nothing delgado about us.
01:38 [laughter]
01:41 I grew up with my mom telling me,
01:43 "No andes comiendo en la calle porque hay comida en la casa."
01:46 If you don't know what that means,
01:49 that means there's rice and beans at home.
01:51 [laughter]
01:53 Rice and beans is a staple for every Latino household.
01:58 Por salvadoreños, es casamiento.
02:01 [cheers and applause]
02:04 Casamiento con plátanos fritos,
02:08 queso duro blando, crema salvadoreña.
02:12 Oh, my God.
02:14 That was every Saturday morning as a kid.
02:17 Now as an adult, high cholesterol.
02:20 [laughter]
02:23 We have too much good food, man.
02:28 Too much good food, right?
02:30 We have tamales salvadoreños.
02:33 As a kid, I hated tamales salvadoreños.
02:36 My dad would always put the bone in it.
02:39 Yes.
02:41 [speaking Spanish]
02:44 [laughter]
02:47 [speaking Spanish]
02:49 [laughter]
02:52 You put the bone in who?
02:56 What?
