TACO TUESDAY

What does Tuesday have to do with tacos? Better yet to ask, What is a Tuesday without tacos? A very sad Tuesday, that's what it is!

Taco Tuesday has become a widespread custom throughout the United States.  once a week to satisfy our taco addictions on the cheap.
While Taco Tuesday is prolific all over the United States (and in many other countries), it’s especially popular throughout Southern California. Beach cities in this region have developed a serious fondness for Taco Tuesday specials.

This new tradition seems to have started in 1989 and was trademarked that same year by Taco John's (a Taco chain across the U.S.).
However, the idea was cooked up much earlier than that. In October 1933, White Star Cafeteria created a weeklong campaign in order to let locals know that they were offering “Mexican tacos” each Tuesday. Throughout the next several decades, a number of restaurants had designated Tuesday as the day for special deals on tacos.

Honestly, the origins of Taco Tuesday aren’t exactly simple to trace. For one, the idea of offering discounted tacos every Tuesday is a concept that’s prevailed for decades—even before the alliterative couplet of Taco Tuesday was coined in the first place and before Taco John's bought the trademark, and in reality, it doesn't matter. The important thing to know is that on Tuesday in the USA you can get the best and greatest variety of tacos for the least amount of money. 

I am a fair believer that tacos should be at the top of the food pyramid. Your choice of select seasoned vegetables, meats, in a corn blanket (or tortilla, whatever you want to call it), topped with an array of delicious toppings of your choosing – salsas, onion, cilantro, cheese, and if you’re lucky, GUAC(amole)! Is your mouth watering yet?!
