Spoon and ?uestlove Create Signature Tacos for Scholarship Benefit

HomeState is a Los Angeles restaurant that serves Central Texas-inspired cuisine. They’ve announced their new Band Taco program, which will feature a new taco curated by a different artist every month. Proceeds will support need-based scholarships at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music. To kick things off, Spoon offer their signature taco, “The Ranchero”.

Spoon’s breakfast taco includes migas, pico de gallo, avocado, and monterrey jack cheese on a flour tortilla. ?uestlove, Cold War Kids, Fitz & the Tantrums, and Cherry Glazerr are slated to create tacos in the coming months.

Here’s what Britt Daniel said about his creation:

I’m at HomeState constantly so, frankly, when they asked me to create a taco I said, “It’s about time.” They asked what kind of taco I’d like to design and naturally I said a breakfast taco. I don’t understand why the breakfast taco isn’t ubiquitous in Los Angeles, but HomeState is at least one great place I can turn to when I’m in LA. My taco is called the ‘Ranchero,’ and it’s based on the kind of tacos I’d get every morning for 59 cents when I first moved to Austin. The great thing about those breakfast taco places was that they were open til 3 in the afternoon — still an entirely appropriate time for breakfast. I’d wake up, take my girlfriend to work around 7, get breakfast, head home, catch a couple more hours of sleep, wake back up, work on a song, then head back to the taco shop at 2:45 for lunch. We called it double dipping. Conveniently, HomeState is open every day til 3.
