I tend to agree.

Eh, goes both ways. For example, Quiznos versus Jimmy Johns.

I like Jimmy Johns because they keep it simple, 3-4 kinds of meat, 2 kinds of bread, mustard, mayo. All their ingredients are usually top notch as a result.

I also like Quiznos because they offer variety. All sorts of breads and cheeses and wild condiments, and the toaster. Keeps things from getting boring.

Or take Strouds versus Cheesecake Factory. Again, one focuses on specialization, one specializes in variety. The more important factor is execution.

I will agree though, that Taco Bell is pushing the concept of variety to the extreme. With their waffle tacos and Mountain Dew-rito Cool Ranch Deep-Fried Diablo Blasters.

I don't remember the bellbeefer but the enchirito is still available. It's not on the menu but you can order it. No black olives obv

I googled to make sure I wasn't crazy and it was apparently discontinued in the last month

Ah yes, the Bellbeefer. Taco Bell's take on a Torta. Sort of a loose meat Sloppy Joe type deal, taco meat on a bun. There was a non corporate Taco Bell in SOCAL that still makes those in El Monte, California I believe. Don't know if they still do...

Last time I had Texas Tom's was at a shitty gas station off front st. The burrito was ok but I'm surprised I didn't get food poisoning.

Taco John's is the best fast food taco joint.

I would make the lunch dash for an Italian steak sammy at Wimpy Burgers at 77th and Troost.

There's a Texas Tom's down the street from where I work. But I've honestly never been there. Maybe I'll give it a try. What should I get?

I’d advise getting wasted first and still staying away from the tacos.
