Vegas and round trip airfare, a confirmation text that we
sent standard message to data rates apply all thanks to
the Live Nation. According to one judge, a taco is
a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh not this one. A taco is a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Eight five you can call it text the same number.
I mean, let's have it out.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Let's this is a forum for the most important conversations
to be had in society. That's what you think you
can count on us for that. And this is that
is a taco a sandwich because a judge says that
it is a restaurant. Tour said that he has been
battling over what type of establishment was being built and
going into a now eleven thousand square foot strip mall
(01:06):
restaurant space. Previously, the commission that I guess oversees what
can go, whar zoning or whatever denied a famous taco
from being located in the Strip Mall, partially based on
a written commitment that he accepted with a nearby neighborhood
association limiting any restaurant that did not offer alcohols in
not allowed to receding, and only sold mate to order
(01:27):
or subway style sandwiches. The idea behind the agreement, according
to court documents, was to keep National fast food, burger
and Chicken chains out of the Strip Mall. They didn't
want him there, So the court agrees with this guy.
The tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches, and the
original written commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only
(01:48):
American cuisine style sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
F that's a torta, But a torte is a sandwich.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
That's what I'm saying. That's a Mexican sandwich, not a taco.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Okay, this guy really wanted to be in the Strip Mall,
and I guess you could have sandwiches in the Strip Mall,
but you couldn't have tacos, and so this guy. Nope,
he came to the rescue and said he sued.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well, he had to do what he had to do, right,
You get his little business going. He has three towels
for the business.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Okay, But whatever is a taco? I mean, are we
calling it? I think it's a stretch. But a tortilla,
a hardened tortilla, is still a form of bread.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Is it not.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
The bread needs to be separated from me. For it
to be a sandwich, there has to be two pieces
as opposed to the one. Yeah, because like something folding, yea,
that's my and.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You get a sub. They're still connected, right because they
didn't cut it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's true, Like a HOGI is not necessarily Maybe I
thought they is it? They don't always cutting the bread
down the middle. Yeah, some sandwiches they don't cut all
the way through, like somewoy used to do a well cut.
If you remember that, they used to cut the bread
out of the middle. They used to cut from the
top and then stick this stuff in there.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Taco, Yeah, that's a taco.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
People say that cheeseburgers or whatever can be a sandwich
because there's two pieces of bread.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Cheeseburger is a sandwich. Burger, by definition, is a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Okay, go to a restaurant and order a burger sandwich
and see what the waitresses.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
The burger sandwich.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
No, but just because you wouldn't say it that way
doesn't mean by definition it's not that. But the meaning
of a sandwich is two or more slices of bread
or a split roll.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Again in between.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So how is a How is a curved dried tortilla
not the same as a split roll?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It is a tortilla, is a split roll?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hold on Laura's Laura's a chef. Laura calls us a
lot of times. Texas called it, Laura, You're a chef.
So what what say you? Is a taco? A sandwich?
Laura calls all the time what it is you're saying?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It is? Yes, a sandwich is a vehicle with things
inside of it? A cornshell, right, So it's.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
A cornshell, which is a which was originally pliable, right,
which a vehicle, which is a vehicle, which is a
vehicle that Ed Sharon can drive his song through. Right. Yeah, okay,
all right, so Laura says that that she agrees with
this court case.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
All right, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Too. Now, let's be honest. You said it, Paulina, like,
this guy just wants to be in that strip mall.
So he was making whatever legal argument he could, but
a judge agrees with it. So whether he agrees with
it or not, we don't know. He just wanted to
make sure that the ordinance didn't apply to him, so
he got a judge who agree with him. But see,
here we go, Carrie, you're gonna do this. Now we're
gonna We're gonna take it one step further, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Carry? Go ahead? Yes.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
We had a big debate at my work one day
about whether or not a.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Hot dog is a sandwich by by definition it is.
By definition of hot dog is a sandwich?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm sorry, guys, yeah, it is a sweat role. Now
do you call it a sandwich? No, you called it
hot dog. You call it hamburger sandwich. No, you call
it a hamburger. But by definition they are both sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Crazy, that's true.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Carry, You're right, thank you. What do you think do
you think it is?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
I'm kind of like.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Where, yes, by definition it is, but I don't think
it's a sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
By by vernacular, nobody calls it that. But by definition, yeah, yeah,
thank you, Carrie, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Just like bred, just like Calin wants you to go order,
would you say a sandwich, roll whatever, hamburger, sandwichwich, I
burger sandwich. You and I are going to go to
your favorite spot at at.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh my god, I love that place.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Take me up. You're in your handai, and then we're
gonna die it.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
We're gonna drive over Nikiya, and I want.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You to sit down. I want you to say I
would like a sandwich, Just say sandwich, thet I want
to I want to see what they bring you, and
it's not going to be a taco. So therefore the
argument that's not hold up in court.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah okay, but see that's different because we're talking about
is it a sandwich not it? Is that what people
call it? Or is that what you would normally associate. No,
I would not normally say I want a sandwich. Lets's
we get a taco. I wouldn't normally say that, but
for legal purposes like the definition an item of food
consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or
(06:18):
other fillings between them, eaten as a light meal. Now
someone else, I guess Miriam Webster added a split roll.
Now that's the real differentiating factor, you guys, is whether
or not a split roll.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
But it is. A split roll is a sandwich. It's
like a sob. But a split roll.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Is not necessarily connected the way that a taco is,
right connect Hey, Nick, Nick, thanks for wedding in on
this important debate.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Is a taco a sandwich?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
The taco is definitely not a sandwich. Okay, Why I
say this because a sandwich you think of, Let's see,
what's you an example of peanut, butter and jelly, the
two pieces of bread. I think it has bread talking
on it.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
A taco is a shell, and I know it has.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
The things in the middle. But I would never ever
consider that a sand.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Now, Nick, have you ever had and I did this recently?
I think I did it two days ago. Have you
ever had taco bell delivered via like door dash or somebody. Yes,
I have, because I got hard. I got crunchy tacos
delivered as part of my way. I got hard when
my crunchy taco showed up. But anyway, don't don't don't
worry about that. Don't worry about that. I met in
(07:36):
the midsection I became DoorDash driver. I became stronger. I'm
talking about rock hard my muscles, you know, like my
abs and stuff. But if you delivered the meat, the
meat sort of makes the taco shell a little bit
like mushi, such that when you go to eat it,
you wind up eating it like a sandwich because you
have to eat it on the side, because if you
(07:57):
eat it up and down, the stuff just falls through.
In which case, my taco became a sandwich, did it not, Nick?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
My taco?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
I hear you on that, but it's not. It could
be like a sandwich, but it is not.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
All right, Well, thank you, Nick, I'm just I'm on
the polest to what people are talking about today.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Have a good day, man, Yeah, I'm just see you look,
and you know me, I'm always like scrolling through the
latest legal advancements, you know, and so this is what
people are talking about.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Hey, Michelle, I'm hi Michelle.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You're saying not a sandwich, which of course is the
wrong answer, but that's fine, Like you're entitled to not
be correct.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's definitely not a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Why explain to me why, because like you need bread
for it to be a sandwich and there's no bread
on a taco.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's like someone said, it's a.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Corn shell to be a cornshow could be flower. It
could be that flower and bread too. Is there corning?
Is their corn bread? You can flower tortillas. You're you're wrong.
You need to always eat cornk Okay.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Now, I mean there's a lot of things that are
wrong right now, Michelle, this is wildly controversial. Now flower,
that's a different segment, Michelle.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
All right, so wait your turn. All right, have a
good day. I have a good day.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Let me go.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
I know, I.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Know you need a flower. Do you do? It holds more?
They're bigger.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
No, but the makes a bigger sandwich with a flower, Totia,
hey kley, a sandwich. That's what the court of law says.
That's where the Supreme courts nudded. Someone in Florida or
somewhere said this, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
So I was getting all riled up. I was about
to say, it's not a sandwich, but then I started
thinking of the actual verb. You're sandwiching things together, you know,
you're squeezing them to get into your mouth better.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What an excellent point, you, What an excellent point.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
It came to me.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
I took a sip of my coffee and I came,
you're so smart.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yes, sometimes you got to like marinate on this really
heavy hitting content before you like, you got to let
it settle in for a second, before you make your decision,
before you're outrage.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I would always ask people, because we do a lot
about very very serious topics on this show, and before
we become outrage, like, let's take a second to think
about our position. And you did that, kid, and you
were going to call and tell me I was an idiot,
and then you took a sip of coffee and you
were like, now, hold on, I see the lights.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
You know what. I zoned out into traffic and I
let it come to me and I was like, you're
using it as much as I can and rotating it.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, into my mouth.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's what exactly. And yeah, no, thank you, you've you've
seen it. You were on the same page. Have a
great day, Thanks for listening.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I've lived it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, you too, true story, I said, you know, David, David,
it's a sandwich in it.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Yeah, it's a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And tell the people that don't that don't see our position, why, Well,
because I.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Mean you could have like an open, open based sandwich, right,
you just want to eat one piece of bread, You
need like a piece of cheese on their piece of
meat whatever, And it's a sandwich. So then why not Otaco?
You have a torkilla, have some fillings in there, it's
a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I think by definition it is.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I do, and I understand no one calls it that,
But no one calls a hamburger a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
And there's no debate about that. Right, I'm not subscribing
to that.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna take it a step further.
I also think that a hot dog is a sandwich.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, yeah, I do have control.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
No, I did too. I did to Tony. Thank you, No,
thank you. I'm like minded geniuses. Have a good day.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Hey you too.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, all right, well problem solve? No, I mean the
court of law. You know, that's what they said, Let's
let's take this to the Supreme Court. Honestly, they got
nothing else going on, right More fread show next
