Who doesn't love Taco Tuesday? It's practically a universal happy dance, a symphony of taco shells and flavorful fillings. But have you ever wondered how this berry delicious tradition came to be? Buckle up, taco lovers, because the story is as cheesy as a good quesabirria.
The truth is, Taco Tuesday's origins are as disputed. Some claim it all started in the USA, yes not Mexico, in the 1930s, with restaurants offering discount tacos on Tuesdays. Others point to a 1973 South Dakota ad as the first "official" sighting of the phrase.
Then things get spicy. Two other restaurants in the USA, one in New Jersey and a Wyoming fast-food chain both claim to have trademarked "Taco Tuesday" in the 1980s, leading to a legal battle that would make any telenovela blush. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, and now everyone can enjoy Taco Tuesday drama-free (except maybe in New Jersey).
So, while tacos are proudly from Mexico, Taco Tuesday is a uniquely American invention. But let's not dwell on the legal salsa dance of the past. Let's talk about the deliciousness that is Taco Tuesday in the present!
Picture this: discounted tacos, flavorful fillings, and a fiesta atmosphere every Tuesday. It's like a mini-vacation for your taste buds right in the middle of the workweek! Whether you're a traditionalist who sticks to classic carne asada or an adventurous eater who dives into exotic fillings like Korean BBQ or buffalo cauliflower, there's a taco for every palate.
So, the next time you're savoring a perfectly seasoned taco on a Tuesday, remember: it's a tradition rich in history, legal battles, and, most importantly, deliciousness. So raise your taco (or margarita) and give a silent "gracias" to whoever started this glorious weekly ritual. Now, if you'll excuse us, Berry Green has a taco date with destiny.
Join the fun, spread the word, and let's make every Tuesday a berry taco-filled celebration!
