JCC Taco Bell to launch upscale spin-off franchise.

Finally, I've been saying they should do this for years!

I don't have terribly much to say about this, but the headline seemed ripped straight from The Onion, so there you are. Since so many of us live in Southern California, maybe a good place for an epic JCC lunch someday.

EDIT: Probably should have put "upscale" in quotes in the thread title. Oh well.

 

Like in Demolition Man?

 

Now every restaurant is a Taco Bell.

 

More expensive diarrhea. Hot damn!

Huntington Beach is a fairly short drive from here. I know what I'm doing with my Memorial Day weekend.

 

So "US Taco" will serve "craft beers and alcohol-infused shakes" with their $4.00 "premium tacos?"

'Yes... I'd like a Chardonnay shake with my chalupa, and a Tanqueray and tonic with my premium taco, please.'


(chokes to death on own vomit)

 

The menu really is characteristically disgusting.

 

I remember back in the mid 90s when Burger King attempted to get classy. They tried table service and gave people popcorn as an appetizer... probably lasted about five months.

 

I only eat at Dorsia anymore, so...

 

U.S. Taco will also serve craft beers and alcohol-infused shakes.


Worth it just for that.

 

I saw this news and was so excited that it was real. I have no desire to eat in a Taco Bell, let alone an "upscale" hipster Taco Bell with a ridiculous name, but I am just so glad that, years from now, people will be able to look back and say that, yes, all this happened. Taco Bell launched a ridiculously named "upscale" hipster Taco Bell with horribly misguided fancified crappy food and alcoholic milkshakes in mason jars. Plus McDonald's made over Ronald McDonald with cargo pants and a vest. We live in an exciting time of stupid fast-food decisions.

 

Holy hell. I'm going on one year sober and they do this to me?

 

I would think that the thought of consuming a beer milkshake from upscale Taco Bell helps keep you sober.

 

For certain people, sure, but for others...

 

Does the restroom come equipped with three seashells?

We have a nice burger joint here in Des Moines which does that and experiments with other items as well. A bonus is that they go all out with a zombie theme that isn't overkill.

http://www.zombieburgerdm.com/ - I recommend The Walking Ched and Planet Terror. The loaded fries are pretty damn good too.

 

It happened, man....

 

I remember that stunt. The "AH LUHVE DIS PLACE!!" bit has been something I have worked on for years to remove from my brain with little to no success.

I also remember wishing death upon Dan Cortes. But then he's probably an assistant manager at a car wash somewhere, so there is some balance in the universe.

 

They tried something similar to this with Jack in the Box in 2004. "JBX Grill" would offer amenities that are almost beat for beat what Taco Hell is trying. They converted all of their JBX Grill locations back to regular ol' Jack in the Cracks a couple of years later. Not sure why Taco Hell thinks they can do better than that fiasco.

 

"DO NOT BE HASTY ABOUT GOING IN THERE, FOR I HAD TACO BELL FOR LUNCH!"

 

i don't care

 

Yes, that looked incredibly classy.

 

Almost as classy as four dollar tacos and booze.
