Yum Brands, which also owns the KFC and Taco Bell chains, is [...]

The Pacific Shrimp Taco: Not for me
By Ted Berg - Mar 8, 2010 10:55 am

Look, I love Taco Bell. You all know that. Absolutely love it.
But I’m not one for blind faith in anything, and even I can’t go so far as to say Taco Bell can do no wrong. Case in point: The new Pacific Shrimp Taco.
Seriously, Taco Bell? No disrespect, but shrimp? Seriously?
Maybe this appeals to someone. [...]

“Taco Bell Skills Challenge” entirely misleading
By Ted Berg - Feb 3, 2010 11:13 am

The NBA posted a press release yesterday about its annual “Taco Bell Skills Challenge,” which will feature Derrick Rose, Brandon Jennings, Steve Nash and Deron Williams:

A nation mourns
By Ted Berg - Jan 18, 2010 1:02 pm

I just found out that Glen Bell, founder of Taco Bell, passed away yesterday at 86. This is a sad day.
But Bell lived a long and complete life, and though his family should be in our thoughts, we should not forget all the wonderful, spectacular things he’s done for us. Especially that most wonderful, most [...]

By Ted Berg - Dec 28, 2009 6:43 pm

I saw an ad for the Beefy 5 Layer Burrito during last night’s Jets’ game, so I went out to the Worst Taco Bell in the World in nearby Elmsford, N.Y., today to try it out.
The Beefy 5 Layer Burrito is a burrito filled with refried beans (you know, like in pintos and cheese), taco [...]

The Cheesy Gordita Crunch never really left
By Ted Berg - Nov 23, 2009 3:17 pm

Taco Bell has recently been hyping up the triumphant return of the Cheesy Gordita Crunch to its menu boards, but here’s the jig:

It may have been off the menu proper, but since all the materials to make a Cheesy Gordita Crunch were present in extant menu items, the [...]

Taco Bell begins campaign for 2010 Nobel Peace Prize
By Ted Berg - Oct 28, 2009 1:33 pm

The heroic bastions of good will at Taco Bell have announced that this year, instead of the popular “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” promotion from years past, Taco Bell will provide a free Black Jack Taco to every Taco Bell guest on Saturday between 6 p.m. and midnight, while supplies last.
Amazing.
Debate rages over whether [...]

The First Black Jack Taco in Elmsford, NY
By Ted Berg - Oct 8, 2009 5:17 pm

I caught wind of the new Black Jack Taco today thanks to the Internet’s own Jake Rake.

I had to try it, but the problem is the Taco Bell nearest my home is the Worst Taco Bell on the Face of the Earth. Bar none. It’s terrible. One time I waited 17 minutes for my tacos. [...]
