Taco Bell

Taco Bell is and has always been gross. Yet for some reason, I can’t stay away for more than two years at a time. Every two years or so I just get this craving for Taco Bell. I want to devour like 8 tacos with 16 packets of fire sauce. So the other day the Wife was out running errands and I took full advantage.

I stand in line so I can review the menu and figure out a plan of attack. My conscious gets the best of me and I decide not to stuff my fat face and just select the two items that I’ve seen on TV. The Cheddar Bacon Gordita Crunch ($2.49) and the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito ($0.89).

I never thought that I would ever find something that bacon does not belong on. In theory, this makes sense, cheddar, bacon, ground beef, taco shell…but something goes wrong. Maybe it was the special sauce or the taco shell but bacon did not belong. I still ate it of course but drenched the entire thing with fire sauce to help drown out the special sauce. That shit freaked me out. Ick.


I always love how commercials and images on company web site’s show such tasty, pretty, hearty dishes but when you actually get the item, it’s smashed, sloppy, and gross. Taco Bell is no exception. Everything I get from Taco Bell always looks gross and sloppily assembled.

I didn’t like the Cheddar Bacon Gordita Crunch but the Cheesy Double Beef Burrito was pretty good and only .89 cents. That’s a deal. Of course the photo doesn’t show much, just a lumpy mess but it was tasty. Hopefully this will be on the menu two years from now when I get a craving to go back.

BaldyFest

This week Baldy’s is doing their Customer Appreciation Week which will lead up to Saturday’s BaldyFest. Last year I showed up and took some photos of the 70lb pig roasting away in the smoker and got a sample of the pork…soooo good. Its nice to hear that in these trying times, you can still get some great food super cheap.


This week you can get some $4 specials (as it is their 4th Anniversary):

4 bone ribs for $3 (that’s $9 full racks)
Baldy Burger sliders $4
Pulled Pork Sandwich $4
Brisket Sandwich $4
Smothered Fries $4
Smoked Wings 1/2dz $4
Smokehouse Chili bowl $4

ALL Specials are for dine in only.

$4 Drink specials all week as well w/$2 local micro beers.

On Saturday they’ll be doing the bash at Baldy’s aka “BaldyFest”. They’ll have the band Blackstrap playing, the PIG will be spinning, and they’ll have prizes and giveaways. That’s 2-7pm on Sat. Feb 7th. Then on Sunday, Baldy’s actual anniversary, Brian (aka Baldy) will rest.
