Must-Try: the Bulgogi Torta from A-OK Foods, a Mexican-Korean spin on a fast food classic
The fundamental insight behind the addictive Bulgogi Torta from A-OK Foods: few sandwiches are as satisfying as a good, old-fashioned Big Mac. For this cheeky Mexican-Korean creation, chef Chris Jang stuffs sweet grilled rib-eye, a healthy dollop of guacamole and shredded lettuce inside a mayo-slicked Wonder Bread bun, along with a little melted provolone (bracing house pickles are on the side). The resulting sandwich is sweet, salty and fatty, and it melts in your mouth just like the McDonald’s original. Unlike the McDonald’s burger, however, there’s no gastronomical shame associated with ordering it. $7.50

It’s on a wonderbread burger bun. Last time i checked a torta was on a very specific mexican roll. So what part of this is a torta again? Because it has guacamole it’s all of a sudden “mexican”? fail
You call this “Monday Must-Try” But your own site says they are closed on Mondays & Tuesdays…
Stop making these silly stories please
Haters wanna hate.
Google the word torta and see it is not specific to a mexican roll at all. Also it isn’t trying to be mexican, it just has mexican influences such as gauc. The only fail is your comment.
oh really? hmm let me fly to LA, let’s see what they’re using at every mexican place in town. i bet i’ll find tons of wonderbread burger buns!
torta was traditionally considered an inferior form of bread. Torta just isn’t Mexican, it is spanish, it is Italian it is many things, many different definitions for the word. But oh you have been to LA so you know everything.
