I never figured Walla Walla to be a cultural melting pot. I eagerly await the annual Walla Walla Sausage Festival every year and I eat my fill of bratwurst, wienersnitzel, and all the other bavarian meat amalgamations that have ever been squeezed into animal intestine. On that same token, I am a regular of the local taco trucks that serve up all kinds of authentic mexican food...sometimes too authentic. I have never ventured to try the burritos filled with cow tongue that many of the trucks offer, but I have seen several patrons of the taco trucks eagerly eat that shit up like the Sunday comics character Cathy gobbles up chocolate cake after a long day of trying on dresses.
While the quick ethnic food in Walla Walla is not very diverse, you can always get your hands on a tasty sweet onion-filled taco from one of the many taco trucks or you can swing by Walla Walla Onion World on the main drag downtown and get a sweet onion sausage. The Irish can cook a potato a million ways, and the people here in Walla Walla can make a sweet onion work in just about anything. I guess it was just a matter of time before someone in the community decided that tacos and sausages make a good combo, and the cultures that inspired these foods incidentally know how to party, so you might as well combine the two and throw a sick Oktoberfiesta.
