Well, the Club Chalupa is back at Taco Bell. Normally I avoid Taco Bell. It’s not that the food tastes bad, but I always feel that the astoundingly non-nutritious offerings are leaching the life-giving vitamins and minerals right out of my body. Also, the Fire sauce tastes vaguely dirty, like its secret ingredient is a pinch of cigarette ash.
The Club Chalupa is really the only Taco Bell item that I enjoy enough to overcome my distaste for the restaurant in general. I’ll be going there today after racquetball to see for myself if the new incarnation of the CC is a worthy successor to the 2002 version. And lest you think that I’m over the top writing a blog entry about the Club Chalupa, check out these guys….
(edit) Well, I’m happy to report that the Club Chalupa is everything it used to be. Since a comparison just wouldn’t be fair without the degenerate taste of Fire sauce, I slathered the contents of one packet over the chalupa before eating. I was immediately taken back to 2002, the heyday of the original Club Chalupa. As far as my gustatory and olfactory senses can tell, it’s exactly the same.
Sometimes you can go home again.
