...Butt Grocery Co., based in San Antonio, Texas, had no doubt that customers at its 20 stores in northern Mexico would gobble up the tortillas, because Hispanic customers at its 280 stores in Texas and Louisiana had already taken to their chewy texture and toasty flavor. That's just one example of the cross-border synergy that's helping H-E-B, as the chain is called, expand sales and profits in both countries...
Gigante's ethnic flavor isn't welcomed by all. Last year the Anaheim planning commission tried to block a store proposed for the site of an abandoned shopping mall, in part because it would cater, as the head of the agency put it, "primarily to the Hispanic market." And what, you might wonder, is wrong with that?

And if you can get past the smell, which is often likened...
...sporting a cut-off T-shirt while enjoying a night out. The most notable of these restaurants are the all-you-can-eat buffets such as Golden Corral or Sirloin Stockade, where you can actually get Kool-Aid to wash down your food. If you are looking for Midwestern flavor, start here. Buffets are a great place to people watch. A couple summers ago, when I was eating at the Golden Corral with my family, I went to the bathroom and heard this memorable exchange between two guys with mustaches and lawn mower hats...
