Mexican food is the crab in San Diego’s bucket. The old saying refers to how crabs behave when trapped in a bad place. One crab will attempt to escape. If left to its own devices, it easily could. But the other crabs pinch its legs and drag it back into their dilemma. No crab makes it out because the other crabs are awful and won’t let it.
