Introduction and Taco Johns

In This Blog I talk about fast food. Theres an old saying that if you want the shortest way to point b then you ask a one legged man. and if you want to know where the good food is you ask the fat guy. well i have eaten just about everywhere and i feel i can contribute to the world, if nothing else, my take on fast foods. I'll start with Taco Johns.







I went on a road trip back in 03 shortly after i turned 21 to Wyoming (long story) and i was told by multiple people about this place called Taco Johns. according to these advice riddled people "Its the best Mexican Food ever". there slogan is even "A Whole Lot Of Mexican". so i tried it. after 24 hrs of almost nonstop driving i was pretty damn hungry and was looking forward to "..The Best Mexican Food Ever". i walked in to the Cody Wyoming branch and ordered a whole mess of food. one thing i noticed was that they seemed to use potatoes instead of rice as there standard filler. once i got my tray to my table it was very apparent that this wasn't going to be "..The Best Mexican Food Ever". i don't think they should even refer to this as "Mexican" food. i mean, it made Taco Bell look like genuine Mexican food. there shells were form fit baked corn compound and there meat was like a gooey paste with a hint of actual meat like product. the burritos were cold and flaccid. a huge disappointment after all the hype i had experienced. i figured that i would give the franchise the benefit of the doubt and try another location. the next day i was in Powell Wyoming and orders considerably less food. again, i was let down by the overall quality of the food. it seems to me that people in the Midwest don't know what "Real Mexican Food" is and that my concept of Mexican food is tainted by living in San Diego my entire life. if i were to somehow forget everything that i know about traditional Mexican food and go to a Taco Johns, i would most likely enjoy it. i guess its comparable to basing your entire knowledge of world culture on the Disneyland Ride "Small World". "Hey, This Baked corn wafer perfectly molded in the cartoonish shape of a taco shell with fried potatoes and red beef paste and cheddar cheese covered in watery chili sauce is great". you know what though. there is an Easy fix for this problem, Remove the word "Mexican" and any variation of from there business. you can still use taco and burrito and such. just don't claim to be Mexican food. i mean, even Taco Bell calls there food "Mexican Inspired".



if you're ever in These areas and feel like "A Whole Lot Of Mexican" then give it a try. don't let my opinion detour you from Taco Johns




i promise you i am not always this negative toward food. i mean, how could i be? as of now i'm 314lbs and i got that way by eating. not that i'm bragging, just pointing out that my love for food is great and i will have several more fast food reviews to come. most of them will be positive. have fun and "Thank You Come Again!"
