Taco Bell


Taco Bell
514 Rt 38 Cherry Hill Mall

Cherry Hill, NJ 08002
(856) 663-6324












XXL Nachos

No description was available or necessary. They intrigued me with "LIMITED TIME." They then sealed the deal by simply promoting "OVER 1LB." Fuck.  

Steak: $6.49
Chicken $6.29
Beef $5.29
And add a large drink for only $1.00


There are two types of people in this world: Those who once ate at Taco Bell and those who eat at Taco Bell. I understand and respect both camps equally. More so, I respect any restaurant chain that can sell me on a menu item with no description of ingredients but clearly identifies the weight. This is an obvious indication that I am about to embark on a journey that will test my strength, question my girlfriend's choice of men, and ultimately allow me to self reflect in the bathroom mirror shortly thereafter.


1 lb of  delicious, camera-skake worthy, imminent diarrhea .


Some say less is more. Others think more is more. In this case more may be less, but less so more than you think. More shredded cheese would have been nice, while less liquid cheese goop would have been better. More steak was expected in the "XXL Nachos" weighing over 1 lb, but less time on the grill could have improved the "meat's" essence-of-steak taste. More salsa would have offered a welcomed shift in flavor and broke up the overall sandy-colored appearance, while less salt would have saved me a trip to the emergency room. Fundamentally, the more I ate the less I felt like a man, a nacho blogger and a member of the human species.

As Robert Browning wrote in his poem Andrea del Sarto: "Well, less is more, Lucrezia: I am judged."
