Season 3 Episode 9: Taco Bell feat. Priya Pappu
In this episode of "Fine" Dining: The Search for the Most Mediocre Restaurant in America:
Taco Bell has launched some of the wildest fast-food innovations ever—from the Doritos Locos Taco to the Kit Kat Quesadilla. But behind its bold menu creations lies a chaotic history of recalls, lawsuits, and marketing stunts (like trying to buy the Liberty Bell or lobbying for $2 bills).
In this episode, comedian Priya Pappu joins me to break down Taco Bell’s bizarre past, its rise to fast-food dominance, and the wildest things people have said about it on Yelp. Plus, we finally answer: Is Taco Bell actually the healthiest fast-food chain? 🌯🤔
