Remember last month when a man on a bicycle accidentally photobombed a group of tetsu-ota (“train geeks”) attempting to take a picture of a new carriage model on the Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden for short)? Turns out the man in question, Dylan Patrick Croke, owns Home Taco Bar, and business is now booming.
Since August, there’s been a constant line of customers — 30 to 40 on a busy day, according to Croke — and the restaurant’s Instagram followers skyrocketed to over 53,000 in just a few days.
“I went home thinking that (the situation) was over, and the next day everything just changed,” Croke says.
