Candie Yoder is a chef and food truck owner in San Antonio, Texas. Amongst her specialties is Asian Fusion. The food she whips up includes Korean BBQ,Japchae, and Bibimbap. Her most popular dish is probably Korean Fried Chicken. There is no denying that the food looks appetizing. However, the San Antonio Express-Newsreports, some people are not happy with her. Why? The name of her food truck is getting people in a tizzy. It’s called, “ Cockasian.”

She isn't allowed at th Port of San Antonio because it might be offensive.
A spokesperson for Port San Antonio, Paco Fellici, told KABB FOX San Antonio , "We thought the name could be offensive to others.” Was Yoder going for an illicit pun with her name choice? She says nope. The Express-News quotes Ms. Yoder as saying that the name has, “boundless meanings, none of which are sexual or a racial slur… I would be more than happy to discuss the basis for our name with them.”

I'm blocked here at work, but posting the urban dictionary meaning for "cockasian" might help this thread a bit.

Well, this is the second time in my life I've heard the term 'fusion' referring to cuisine. And the first time was yesterday in the NYT. Apparently, some people don't like mixing ethnic food because they are afraid it will homogenize everything.

I say ...let the free market decide.

Why? I think the name is cute. Oh you thought I was on the other side. The name is no big deal. Bet the chicken is great.
