Taco, Taco, Who Has the Best Taco?

It has seemed like since we had Porter, that Ben and I instantly got "old."  By "old" I mean less adventurous but mostly in our date ideas. Before we were making ice sculptures, mini golfing, we Ben was sliding down campus rails, we were bowling every alley, and sipping milkshakes like we would never gain weight.  I like always being on the go.  Ben is more of a homebody.  He would love it if I would just sit down on the couch and watch a movie.  Since Porter goes to bed around 8 we aren't as free to go and be a part of all the night action (ha ha).  Thus, we have become more of the home body type. It's give and take, right?

This past weekend Ben and I were talking about all of this. I told him I wanted to do something fun, like what we use to do.  Here is what we came up with...

Taco, Taco Who Has the Best Taco?
Disclaimer: We aren't huge taco loving fast food eaters


We were on a mission to find the best fast food taco. The 3 restaurants that were in the running were Taco Bell, Del Taco, and Taco Time. We ordered one hard shell taco and one soft shell taco from each.  Then we did a blind taste test and rated the tacos on a scale from 1-10. Can you guess who won??

Ben's Results                                                Kimi' s Results
Hard Shell                                                     Hard Shell         
Taco Bell ($0.99)-7.5                                   Taco Bell-7
Del Taco ($0.50)-4                                       Del Taco-3
Taco Time ($2.00)-6                                     Taco Time-4.5

Soft Shell
Taco Bell ($0.99)-6.5                                  Taco Bell-6
Del Taco ($0.50)-4                                      Del Taco-3
Taco Time ($2.00)-5                                    Taco Time-5

TACO BELL Wins. They won by a long shot. Our favorite was the taco bell hard shell. Their meat was seasoned the best and it was easy to tell which taco tasted best. Del Taco was the cheapest, smallest, and the taco was terrible. Taco Time's were the biggest in size but they were the most expensive and they were ok. If anything, I feel like we performed a great service for others out there wondering. Taco, taco who has the best taco?  Next time this question pops into your head, think no more and just go to Taco Bell.

I know this date wasn't that adventurous, but anything involving food, I'm all for it. We had awesome company (Porter), we got out of the house and then came back to watch an episode of Shark Tank. As Hannah would say. "best of both worlds!" Next time your fresh out of date ideas, do this.   

We have $5 pizzas on the list next but I wanted to see if you had any ideas on what foods we should taste test next? I'll need them so we can keep this adventurous dating streak alive!
