Booze at Taco Bell

[Fijimn]

Taco Bell is opening cantinas that will serve booze. So, now you can make all your bad decisions in a night at one place. The American sewage system may never recover.

You're not ordering like a true Taco Bell patron, Les.

"I'll have a #7...w/a PBR."

Maybe he represents the 1% of TB customers. I would think a Pinot Noir would pair better with a quesadilla tho.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

And hundreds of thousands college aged students will be lining up at 1am ordering double shots of cuervo with bean frito burritos and loco crunchwrap supremes. I think everything will be fine.

HE goes to Taco Bell late? If I'm going to go rot gut for a late night feed bag that stimulates my colon its got to be Krystals

Wish we had Krystals out here. Taco Bell has never bothered me, but when I need to purge the lower half of my digestive system, Krystals definitely expedited the process.

Never equate Krystal to Taco Hell. Never!!!

Celebrated Chef David Chang wrote in his Momofuku book that I own that Krystal and White Castle are basically the American equivalent of the Asian steamed buns and he absolutely loves them just like I do. A cheese krystal with just the diced onions, pickle and mustard (no added ketchup, relish or mayo) and the steamed bun is just absolute little perfection. And the corn pups and spicy chicks aren't bad at all either.

To compare a little steamed Krystal slider to a five star wagyu hamburger is impossible, they are different entities entirely. (Although I will say that the Cozy Inn in Kansas does ever so slightly beat Krystal and White Castle at their own game and if you're driving through Kansas it is well worth the stop).

Meanwhile Taco Hell is such bad TexMex they can't even call it that in Mexico without offending anyone. Literally the only decent thing at TacoHell is the Baja Blast Mountain Dew which is the best MD flavor imo.

Krystal is the worse fast food ever created...and it's not close.

This is why we need the unlike button.

Even if you don't "get" the majesty of the little steamed sliders with their perfect blend of savory (meat and cheese), sour (pickle and mustard), bitter (mustard) and ever so slightly sweet (steamed bun), there are FAR worse fast food out there. Taco Hell is one. But Burger King, McDonalds (excluding the Egg McMuffin which IS pretty good and the chemically Ladened fries which do taste decent), Rallys and tons of other terrible fast food places easily best out Krystal as the worst. And quite frankly, I've had White Castle a fair amount and head to head, slider to slider Krystal wins so if you hate steamed bun sliders for some reason then Krystal still at least beats White Castle.

Friend, you speak like a man who has experienced much in life but is still struggling to find his way.

Allow me to be your sherpa.

Sink your spork into Taco Bell's majestic Enchirito and you will experience a moment of singularity that will leave you forever changed.

Jesus, as if Taco Bell didn't wreck havoc on your digestive tract enough on it's own.

 

[LT4PLY]

It sounds like it will be similar to Moe's. These quick serve places are popping up ultra fast. I know multiple people that literally never cook and this type of establishment fits the bill for them because they want to get in and out with no tip. As a person who actually cooks most nights these places annoy the crap out of me. I don't want to wait in line to buy another beer and I don't want to wait in line to place my order to begin with.

I will say that on the rare occasions terrible decisions have led me to Taco Hell the best "food" items are the enchirrito, the now "secret" chilito, and the terrible for you Mexican pizza.

Hey there majority share owner, I merely said TB doesn't cause the same lubing/colon cleansing effect that Krystals does. I would prefer we had a Krystals here.

Its just like every texmex place considers themselves "authentic" by serving modelo, overly sweet and sour margaritas, and wrapping up a meat and slathering cheese over the whole plate.

A friggin margarita should have 3 maybe 4 ingredients that are available fresh to everyone, but they dump in some horrid antifreeze mixer and serve in a fancy glass with salt.

My new thing is to buy a bottle of Margarita Mix and a 12 pack of Coors Light and mix them together in a big pitcher. Damn tasty bro...

Abita Strawberry Ale into a frozen margarita.

....or Zima in a sorbet fizz ~~~

Damnit. I do admit that beeritas are pretty friggin good. But I call them by name and not a margarita.

Try this on a hot summer night, makes a batch.

Beeritas

• 1 can frozen limeade
• 1.5 Cups Tequila
• 1 Cup Grand Marnier
• 1 can 7-up
• 2 bottles Lime Beer

But my go to for a traditional margarita is a 3-2-1 ratio of 3 ingredients.

321 Margarita
3 parts 100% blue agave tequila (reposado)
2 parts Cointreau or Grand Marnier
1 part fresh lime juice

Ah, the Mexican version of Meisterbrau

White Castle = New York perfection

Krystal = crabgrass and well water

White Castle is disgusting unless you are really drunk. And it's from Kansas, not New York.

Krystal is actually good for fast food.

If you live in Atlanta, the place to cleanse the system is The Varsity. Alas, no alcohol and no late hours.

Yep, White Castle basically invented the little steamed slider in Kansas in 1921. Cozy Inn perfected it in 1922 (just up the road in Kansas).

Was moreso making fun of my New Yorker grandparents biases.
