You told, you told! I'm telling an adult!
... Oh wait I'm older than everycritter myself v.v Guess I'll just tell myself, note the infraction, and uhhhh... eat some leftover Taco John's 😅
In other news, Taco John's is good stuff omnomnomnomnomnomnom
Mmm, tacos... the only taco johns near me I have yet to get hot potatoes, the tacos are way better than taco bell tho!
Yessss, it's so good!* It's even got a little spice in it! And delicious tots! And and and aaarrgghhh I need one I can get to @.@ There are only a few here and they're scattered so far all over the area :( There's gotta be one on a bus route, so I can choose where I want to live based on that 😹
*Okay it's still fast food but it competes with Taco Bell and is far superior so within its category it's really good 😅
Yeaaah, there's a lot of chains that just haven't made their way up to the northern states, or if they have there arent many. The nearest Zaxbys to me is in Indianapolis, the nearest Schlotzkys is in Kentucky, etc. We only got a taco johns in the past year (thankfully there's nice taco shops with cheap barbacoa and birria tacos though)
The state of fried chicken in Ohio is depressing. Popeyes, Lee's, KFC, and raising canes. That's about it. Not a lot of good barbecue either.
I don't think I ever saw nor heard of Taco John's until I came to Minneapolis 🤔 This place has a pretty serious fixation on tacos 😅 Like, foreal there are taco bars and taco shops and taco trucks, almost seems like they're as "every street corner" as Starbucks. So, I'm glad I won't lack the essential nutrient known as Taco 😹
Gonna try some of the proper Mexican food shops sometime, get some enchiladas >:3 Kinda excited for that actually :D There's one by the shoppy area I've gone to a couple times, and the photos on Google Maps look the part so yay! Unfortunately, am ill now :( Apparently this is normal for refugees from southern states, something about the weather mucks up people's immune systems 🤔 Dunno how that works but I hope it clears up quick because it hurts and I need to get a life set up quick before I end up on the street :-\ ... That took a turn 🤷
Idunno what to think about fried chicken or barbecue 😅 Though, there was a barbecue place somewhere in Oklahoma... JLs? J&Ls? Something like that I think, they gave huuuge portions and their potato wedges rocked and they had pulled pork and uhhh... yeah it was nice 😅 What kinda places were you thinking of?
For BBQ, it's pretty much just one chain (City Bbq) and a handful of very mediocre places in my area. Smoked meats: ribs, brisket, chicken, turkey, sausage, pulled pork, etc. Had glorious ribs one time at a place called Bogart's Smokehouse in St Louis 🤤 Nothing local comes close.
BBQ is the state religion of Texas im told, but I have little to no desire to go there to find out.
