Are Tacos Sandwiches? Burning Question Answered By Superior Court
Are tacos sandwiches?
It’s the burning question that has gripped our nation for time immemorial.
So hold on to your chips and salsa. Because we’ve got the answer: straight from the Indiana Superior Court.
Our long national nightmare is over.
Tacos are sandwiches.
It all started as a battle royale between restaurateur Martin Quintana and the Allen County Plan Commission.
The bone of contention?
Whether tacos and burritos can cozy up alongside your classic ham and cheese.
Talk about a food fight.
Quintana had dreams of turning a strip mall into a haven for Mexican-style sandwich lovers.
But alas, the Allen County Plan Commission stood in his way, citing a sneaky little agreement limiting the joint to āmade-to-order or subway style sandwiches.ā
Tacos On Trial
Enter Judge Bobay, the hero (not the sub-sandwich kind) we didnāt know we needed. In a move that rocked the culinary world, he declared tacos and burritos as bona fide Mexican-style sandwiches.
āThe Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican-style sandwiches, and the original Written Commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine-style sandwiches,ā Bobay wrote Monday in the civil case.
Cue the mariachi band!
With his gavel of justice, Bobay ruled that the strip mallās sandwich clause didnāt discriminate against our beloved tortilla-wrapped delights.
While Quintanaās Famous Taco is gearing up for its grand opening, thereās still a legal enchilada deal with. The commissionās denial of an amendment is hanging over their heads like a piƱata.
Bobay didnāt throw shade at the plan commission. He made sure to dot his iās and cross his tās, leaving the door open for an appeal.
Anyway, now that tacos have sandwich status, we have another question:
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Ah, the age-old debate that divides nations. While weāre at it, letās throw pizza into the mix. Is it an open-faced sandwich or a whole different beast?
The sandwich saga continues.
