Taco Bell Proved Me Wrong (But Not About Everything)

After avoiding it for over a decade, I finally stepped back inside a Taco Bell—and I was not ready for what I found. The Baja Blast? Genuinely delicious. The Crunchwrap Supreme? A smart design, poorly executed. The guacamole? It's giving Home Depot.

In this episode, comedian & actress Priya Pappu joins me to break down the good, the not good, and everything in between about eating inside a Taco Bell. From its strangely sterile atmosphere to its impressively bad beef portions, we're analyzing it all to find out if it truly represents fast-food mediocrity.

🎙 IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Does Taco Bell's food go bad faster than any other fast food?
  • Why the Chalupa was my biggest disappointment
  • Should you trust Taco Bell's guacamole? (Spoiler: No.)
  • How Taco Bell's weirdest marketing collabs have kept it relevant
  • Why their kiosks make the dining experience feel less personal
