    Bro. They took something away from me in 2015. The Grilled Stuffed Nacho. It was a mainstay in my life, I frequented the local Taco Bell unproudly just to satisfy my unhealthy GSN addiction, sometimes twice a day. I'm convinced someone working there must've noticed it and notified corporate and removed it hastily from my life and I've held a grudge since. If you can recreate this missing link in my life, I will buy one of your books, and buy a plane ticket to wherever you are to sign it and eat Josh grilled stuffed nachos with you and leave without a trace.

      several of the good items that taco bell has dropped they reported as having dropped them because of the difficulty in making them. With the 7 layer burrito, I got it once and I liked it. I got it again when they were busy and it was built like a pack of fucking life savers. It's why they reportedly dropped that one burrito with just a line of nacho cheese in the center, among other things. I think it's why they originally dropped the mexican pizza too. They were like, bro this is fast food. We're supposed to be FAST. That takes time and effort to make.
