Tacos are sandwiches
Indiana judge rules tacos and burritos are, in fact, sandwiches
The ruling stemmed from a legal battle between a developer with plans to open a Mexican restaurant and a local zoning commission. By Gerardo Pons, NBC Washington Are tacos and burritos sandwiches? A judge in Indiana thinks so. The ruling stems from a legal battle that started in 2022, when Martin Quintana, a developer, unveiled plans to open his restaurant, “The Famous Taco Mexican Grill,” on a strip mall in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Allen County Planning Commission rejected his bid to open the eatery, citing a written commitment that Quintana had accepted. According to the agreement with a local condo association, only alcohol-free restaurants that did not allow outdoor seating and only sold “made-to-order or subway-style sandwiches” were allowed to open at the location. The agreement was put in place to keep some national fast-food chains from opening at the strip mall, according to court documents obtained by NBC affiliate WPTA.But after over two years of legal battles, Judge Craig Bobay from the Allen County Superior Court ruled Quintana’s original plans would be permissible based on the original commitment. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...ent=newsletter Last edited by HemiEd; 05-17-2024 at 06:52 AM.. |

It sounds like it was the planning commission/ordnance that was at fault? So when somebody sues, the court has to rule one way or another. Even a dismissal is a ruling. |

But having a rule saying a restaurant can only serve a 'sandwich' is going to be problematic.
The last time I got ribs, I believe it was technically an open face sandwich because it was served on bread. |

Does subway style mean cold when assembled or served? I could see the problem, kinda

In terms of the lawsuit that makes sense. Tacos are pretty easy assembly items too

Sandwiches are served on bread.
Bread is made with yeast. Tortillas do not use yeast. They may not even use flower. This is erroneous. |

Zoning commissions are the worst.

This is not what I thought this thread was going to be about when I clicked it.
But to give my unsolicited 2-cents anyway, I’ve always been a Cholula man over Tapatio. |
