Yo --
I just finished eating my dinner and, as always, it was delicious. Two volcano tacos, one volcano burrito, and one nacho crunch burrito, all for a very yummy $8. And this came from a place where chefs the world over have given compliments such as:
"Nasty."
Charlie Palmer of Charlie Palmer Steak and Aureole
"Its just plain disgusting."
Nate Appleman of A16 and SPQR
"Its just scary."
Brian Bistrong of Braeburn
"Utter bastardization of one of the finest cuisines in the world. What the fuck is a chalupa?"
Joey Campanaro of The Little Owl
What the Hell? Seriously? I find it appalling that "chefs" who have an attitude of "less is more... so pay more" can stick their nose up at food that is cheap, filling, and tastes pretty damn good too. I dare them to offer anything comparable. Lets see what you can get for $8 at those fine eating establishments:
Braeburn: A poached egg.
The Little Owl: Fries.
A16: Two sides of olives.
SPQR: Your choice of an egg or a pig ear.
Charlie Palmer Steak: Nothing. You cant even get spinach at Charlies place.
Yeah, Ill take my Taco Bell over a poached egg, fries, and a pigs ear ANY day.

haha, while I won't disagree with you on the snobs I have to kind of disagree on Taco Bell. Good stuff every once and a while but you can make your own food for the same price. Then again I'm lazy too and love kebabs which are the equivalent, I guess, so eat on brodder
