Look out Taco Bell ... here comes Taco Bueno

[Robin Garr]

How often to you actually go to these places?

Frequently, Robert. Food and drink are my profession, much as weather is yours.

I actually reviewed a Taco Bell within the past year. How often do you actually read my reviews?

Don't really agree. Certainly not great food, but have their food sometimes. The head cook of the house, not me, sometimes picks up to go at Taco Bell. Nothing to write home about, but decent.

Do you have something against pronouns?

Seriously ... I might have agreed with the above a few years ago, but I've been watching Taco Bell, KFC and the other Yum properties, and I'm absolutely convinced that all their properties have seen serious, significant cost and corner cutting. Taco Bell isn't what Taco Bell used to be.

No question. For one thing it has become progressively less "mexican". I wonder if people from Mexico would even recognize some of the menu items?

How often? ...as they come out....But they really do not shy me away from a place or make me want to go either...

Well, it looks like everyone is back in fightin' form! Now back to your neutral corners!!

Ding....Round two

the fall of YUM is in high gear
all of their chains offer lousy service and awful food
i haven't eaten at a Taco Bell for close to 10 years (but the smell from those places is enough to warn you not to eat there)
every time i've eaten at a KFC in the past 5 years i've become violently ill in my lower extremities and as a result, i refuse to eat there as well
(i used to love the mashed (faux) potatoes and gravy and the slaw)

pizza hut on occasion was bearable, (it was the only option besides dominos and papa johns in Charlestown until we opened), but i haven't had their pizza in at least a year

Are they ever going to open; seems liek they have a different opening date everytime I drive by.

We drove past the other day, employees were standing around outside. Asked one through the window and he shrugged about when they were opening. I know the parking lot had not been topped and was crater-city, so maybe the rain has held the opening till they get the blacktop down.
