I'd eat there. That lobster taco sounds intriguing.

$9 Taco sounds like an awesome name for a punk band.

No, yes, no, Facebook is the devil.

Did you get your forums confused, coug?

When I saw Taco Bell and Fine Dining, I quit watching.

Dwarf House on steroids. I can get two gourmet tacos with a side for $9 at Mamacita or Local Taco. Not sure this will work.

No thanks I'll stick to Qdoba.

Guilty! Thought I was posting in the pub at the time.

On Penn & Teller they served food only made with Taco Bell ingredients and presented it like it was a fancy restaurant and people thought it was very healthy and gave it a high rating.

Just goes to prove people are stupid. And this is coming from someone who loves Taco Bell.

I'd be curious to see how they prepared and plated the food. Those people also must not eat at Taco Bell much either.

Competing against McDonalds' Chipotle?

Mcdonalds hasn't been involved with Chipolte since 2006

Didn't know they were affiliated. I saw the owner Steve Ells on a show on Food Network a few years ago I think it was America's Next Great Restaurant.

It's an affront to me that places like this, TB, McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, etc. are refereed to as restaurants when doing a search for local restaurants.

What else would you call a place where you can sit down and eat?

Eating actual food would have to be part of the deal. Not sure some of these fast food places qualify.

I'll go this week and report.

A restaurant is not a fast food joint. All of these need to still be referred to as fast food places rather than restaurants. Restaurants typically deal with a better grade of food and service.
