El Azteca 2: The Quickening!
February 4th, 2007
~Rob M.
While there is in fact no shortage of Mexican restaurants here in the 404, none offer the sheer culinary delight that comes from a naked Aztec chieftain (whose modesty remains hidden only by a carefully placed shield) standing heroically on top of the plateua of a temple. Behold the mystical powers of the Aztec chief, as he commands the very eagles themselves to swoop down from the spiraling heavens to fetch you an order of chips & salsa while you peruse your menu.
I myself, if I were to somehow be made sole proprietor of this regal eatery, would demand that my entire wait staff be naked except for capes & head dresses. I would have the building done in murals of Aztec knights battling filthy conquistadors, temples stuffed with human sacrifices to the blood gods of the sun and above all this, an armada of eagles soaring majestically over the scenery with bowls of chips and salsa clutched in their talons.
The El AZTECA motto: "Food so good... we serve it nude with the help of endangered species!!!"
Now that's cooking with confidence!!!

Waiter: "NEVER!!!" who suddenly points at the sky, suddenly a giant Eagle soars down and snatches the irate customer off into the heavens never to be seen again. "Damn... forgot to give him the bill first!"
I actually pitched an Aztec/Mayan themed night wayyyy back when I was DJing for a promoter friend up at the Chamber. I had these images of human sacrifice stage shows and elaborately dressed Jaguar Knights.
The plan, alas was deemed not feasible.

"Caw-caw!!!"

In fact, I understand the design of the Mexican flag deals largely with the centuries of strife in the country between Mayan snake dancers and the Aztec male erotic dancers known for using hawks and condors in their act.

Not to be confused with the Condorman of Japan..
