Thats why you work in the industry, 50% of my restaurant and %25 in the biz discount card for other restaurants in the area.

Eat like a king for $10 including tip= win.

I do not have a desire to work in the restaurant industry - however, through work I do get sizable discounts at quite a few restaurants out there. I do eat at restaurants sometimes. Most of my fast food is consumer at lunch. I have neither the time nor desire to sit down at an actual restaurant at lunch.

When you can afford better food, you will drive right by Taco Bell. Unless it is the only thing open at 1AM and you are drunk. Then it is delicious.

A) I can afford expensive food - and I realize what a horrendous waste of money it is. Its nice on occasion, but usually, a total waste. Having money doesn't mean you have to throw it away.
B) You shouldn't be driving when you're drunk.

So not only did you read into what I said as meaning you need to go get a prime filet instead of Taco Bell, you somehow read that I drive drunk.

Because there is no other food between taco bell and Mortons, and there is no other way to get fast food other than driving yourself.


I hate this place sometimes.

Make a douchey comment, don't expect kittens in return.

A $15 burger from a restaurant is not 5x better than a $3 one from McDonald's. Is it better? Probably, yes, but not value-wise. Also, you're the one that made a comment about driving, not me. I made the latter comment in jest, although the fact that it apparently hurt your feelings, I do find that amusing.

edit: Also, to note your extremely distasteful hypocrisy, you assumed that Red Rooseter must be rather fat. If you don't like when people make comments like that, uhh...don't make them yourself, sport.

If you get 10 dollars worth of shit at taco bell you are not impressing me with your brains.
Only go there for the Baja Blast.

I don't care what anyone says, I love their Mexican Pizza. Also they're the only place that has Baja Blast which is damn good.

volcano nachos

this this this.

I wish TB would sell their Lava sauce in big bottles at supermarkets. For 30 cents you can add it to anything. And it absolutely rocks, I know it's just their fire sauce with some nacho cheese or something similar, but fuck it's great. The Volcano Nachos are especially win.

Baja Blast is good and nowhere else has it, and I like the sparking Lime-Aid thingy they got. 2 Double Beefy Cheesy Burritos add Lava Sauce + a Sparking Lime drank's a tasty meal.

Taco Bell isn't that bad people, get off your high horse. That being said, the grande meal at the OPs place isn't a good deal at all. Most of the time the meal deals suck anyway and are a ripoff. The value menu of any fast food place is where it's at. I'm not paying $8 for a Carl's JR. meal.

You've got to ask yourself how much you respect yourself, your body and how much you treasure your health.

If you eat at places like this then the answer is obviously not much.

I absolutely hate Taco Bell, but, for some reason, I need to eat it like once every 6 months.

I don't hate TB, it is what it is. But once every couple of months or so is quite enough.

I hear that an angry female performance artist did a spaghettios-type piece with Taco Bell, and ended up with sand in her vagina! :p
