San Antonio's Elotitos Corn Bar launches the Edgar Special, embracing viral haircut trends

SAN ANTONIO - Just when you thought the saga of the viral Edgar haircut couldn’t get any more intriguing, San Antonio’s food scene steps in with its own twist.

Last week, we talked about the viral Edgar haircut and how a food truck park in San Antonio joked about banning anyone with that haircut.

Well now, Elotitos Corn Bar, nestled in the heart of the city, has unveiled its latest culinary creation: the Edgar Special.

For those not yet in the know, Elotitos Corn Bar is a haven for lovers of Mexican street corn and delectable snacks. From tantalizing mangonadas to classic churros and refreshing aguas frescas, this spot has been a local favorite for indulging in savory and sweet treats alike.

However, it’s their recent addition of the Edgar Special that has tongues wagging and taste buds tingling. Priced at a mere $9, this deal allows patrons to select three items from a curated menu of delights. Picture mini corn in a cup bursting with flavor, hot Cheetos and cheese that pack a spicy punch, and miniature mangonadas offering a refreshing contrast to the savory options.

But why the sudden fascination with the Edgar haircut, you might wonder? Well, it all started with a bit of lighthearted banter from food truck park El Camino that jokingly banned individuals sporting the infamous Edgar hairstyle. What ensued was a whirlwind of social media chatter and community discussions surrounding the hairstyle’s newfound notoriety.

In response to this buzz, Elotitos Corn Bar seized the opportunity to join the conversation in a unique and delicious way. Owner Jesus Arreaga, known for his passion for both food and community, saw an opportunity to embrace diversity and bring people together through culinary creativity.

Indeed, Elotitos Corn Bar is not just a place to savor delicious snacks; it’s a testament to the power of food to bridge divides and foster a sense of community acceptance.

Artist and muralist Colton Valentine sent a video of his Edgar mural, which has sparked discussion on social media about the hairstyle.

No word on how long the Edgar Special will be around.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the Edgar haircut or simply seeking a mouthwatering culinary adventure, Elotitos Corn Bar invites you to experience the Edgar Special firsthand. After all, great food knows no bounds — not even the boundaries of a trendy haircut.
