Hey, Worldwide Tacos From HBO’s “Insecure”: You Guys are Full of Shit

I don’t believe I’ve ever written a letter with such an aggressive title, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. To the team at Worldwide Tacos, I write this open letter with such regret and disappointment. Regret that I even have to do this, and disappointment that my experience with your restaurant is
