Glen "Taco" Bell Dead at 86

Eat more Taco Bell! 2010 has had its highs and lows already for TBell, with the Drive-Thru Diet, discovery of a classier Taco Bell image with all sorts of hip artwork in TBell dining rooms and, now, the death of its founder- the visionary- Glen Bell.

Apparently in the height of the drive thru era (1950s)Glen Bell needed a quicker alternative to stuffing torillas, toothpicking them together, and THEN deep frying the whole shebang, so he invented the hard taco shell! I wonder if he is the brains behind the sour cream gun, too...

In honor of Mr. Bell, I plan on treating myself soon...
