An old comment on my lunch photo got picked up by a food blog, now I get tagged weekly
I posted a pic of my breakfast burrito on a Tuesday, nothing fancy, just eggs and chorizo from the stand on 4th Street. Somebody left a snarky comment about the tortilla being too thick, which was odd because it was homemade. A local food blogger quoted that comment in a post about 'hidden gem breakfasts' and it somehow got 8,000 shares. Now random people DM me asking if my burritos are for sale, and one guy drove 2 hours to the taco stand looking for me. How do you handle the part of accidental fame where strangers expect you to keep producing content? Has anyone else had their mundane post hijacked like that?

Dude, you basically invented a breakfast cryptid. Folks are out here hunting for the Legendary Burrito Person like you're Bigfoot with a salsa addiction. The guy driving 2 hours is either your biggest fan or your first stalker, and honestly, either way he's probably gonna be disappointed when he finds out you just eat the burritos, you don't manifest them. Just start charging a "meeting fee" and call it a food tour. Or better yet, sell him a t-shirt that says "I drove 2 hours and all I got was this lousy tortilla." That's the real hustle.
