Libertad Fries

Emily and I spent last week in Lake Tahoe. I won some money betting on the Colorado Rockies and Cleveland Indians. And I broke even playing video poker.

And by "break even" I mean I drank a "free" beer for every $5 I spent (and lost) in the video poker machines. All told I had four "free" beers over two nights.

So if I ever get around to it, I'll get some pictures of our trip up on this blog. Just as soon as I get motivated enough to get the pictures uploaded to the computer.

In the meantime, one of the most blogworthy parts of our trip occurred early on. We flew into Sacramento, got our rental car, and then headed east to Tahoe, with only one thing on our mind: when can we eat?

So we came to some Sacramento suburb called Roseville. Since there is a suburb called Roseville here in the Twin Cities, it was only logical we stop there in quest of food.

We found a strip a mall and before you can say "Shitty Dodge rental car crossing four lanes of traffic at once, just to make a left hand turn," I crossed four lanes of traffic to make a left hand turn in our shitty Dodge rental car.

Why, you ask, did I put my wife, myself, and our shitty Dodge rental in peril?

Del Taco.

Admittedly, I've never been to Del Taco, but the name was so absurd and promising at the same time, we had to go.

And Del Taco did not disappoint. It was a step above Taco Bell, and better yet, everything had a Del in the name. McNuggets? McShake? That's freaking annoying.

But it's all about presentation. Change that to Del Nuggets. Did somebody say Del Shake? I'll take two of each please.

But that wasn't the best part. The true surprise came when I ordered some Del Value Menu item (I believe I had Del #6) and I got some French Fries to go with my tacos.

How awesome is that? DEL AWESOME! That's how awesome!

Is this what all them fancy people mean when they talk about "fusion cooking?"

So I went to the Wikipedia entry for Del Taco, expecting there to be a mention about how you get fries with your Del Burrito, but for some reason it has yet to receive any mention. Click here to see for yourself. Sure the entry dances around the fact that it has burgers AND Mexican food, but it needs to say outright, "YOU CAN GET FRIES WITH YOUR TACOS!!!!"

Yo Deets! are you out there? I did your freaking "two things about me quiz." It's about reciprocity. So get over the wikipedia and fix that Del Taco entry. The people need to know you get fries with your Del Chimichunga!
