[@gabbywills98]

Love your content Josh, happy holidays to you and yours!

[@johnrife7134]

The menu at taco Bell actually has changed as of last year. As they took everything edible off of it. 7 layer was a go to for no meat Mondays. They took the Grilled stuffed burrito off which was my normal favorite.

[@lindseyintexas6895]

the enchirito, grilled stuffed burrito, Mexican pizza (which they've since brought back)... yes, so much change in the menu!

[@tourmalinesun]

I'll never not be mad abojt them taking the 7 layer off the menu

[@actionsub]

They brought something like the 7 layer back, but now it's called a Veggie Burrito Supreme. If you want the guac and sour cream, it comes extra; and if you add it, you'll end up eating it with a fork because it'll be too full. Also,they put black beans in instead of the frijoles.

[@MistaOppritunity]

several of the good items that taco bell has dropped they reported as having dropped them because of the difficulty in making them. With the 7 layer burrito, I got it once and I liked it. I got it again when they were busy and it was built like a pack of fucking life savers. It's why they reportedly dropped that one burrito with just a line of nacho cheese in the center, among other things. I think it's why they originally dropped the mexican pizza too. They were like, bro this is fast food. We're supposed to be FAST. That takes time and effort to make.

[@lethalweaboo8662]

Glad someone remembered. It's almost like the grilled stuffed burrito got Mandela effected. I remember when they tried pass off that guacamole abomination as a grilled stuffed a couple of year agos.

Papa Josh, you’ve brought a tear to My eyes in the best way possible I applaud you!

[@Woffie70]

I swear Josh I LOVE your “but Better” videos! It's amazing how you can improve on foods that are made with the cheapest floor trimmings and saw dust just by adding some Miyazaki Wagyu beef or Jamon Iberico de Bellota! Toss in some white Alba Truffles or matsutake mushrooms. Sprinkle on some saffron and a touch of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale why not? Showing us how easy it is while sipping on a cup of Kopi luwak and munching on mac n cheese made with Caciocavallo Podolico cheese. LOL! Just poking fun Man ;) Seriously- love the vids but apples to apples would be a nice change. Try making it BETTER but at the same price level. :D

[@haileys5224]

One overlooked thing in this but better series is thinking about size in terms of functionality. Making a burrito bigger doesn’t make it better if that means it’s no longer a portable meal that doesn’t make your hands super messy. Smaller portioned food means it’s easier to handle and that’s something I appreciate about fast food.

[@Crowbar1225]

Interesting way of looking at it.

[@phoebusapollo8365]

Well I’m going to have to disagree, small burritos just leave me unfulfilled because it tastes good but it took me like 8 bites to eat it.

Soooo I worked as a mgr for TB for nearly 20 years from when everything was made from scratch to where everything is boil in bag or rehydrated (today). A LOOONNNGG TIME AGO THEY HAD A “chilito” burrito that had to be renamed the “chili cheese burrito” because apparently the former was Spanish slang for the “male member.” Your comment on the naming of the quesarito in a board room really made me LMFAO!

There is no doubt that you are one of the finest chiefs, but you will always win over any fast food company and that’s due to a very simple thing, yours are much better because you use fine ingredients and you add a very good portions, if fast food companies did this the price of their products will be higher and that is the main problem “selling price”

The quesarito was really Taco Bell's weak response to Chipotle's "secret menu" quesarito, which used to have no upcharge. Now if you order it, they charge you for the burrito and the cheese quesadilla.

With a baby on the way, you should spend your money on something better. This is not a cheap recipe, which is why it's "better". Like comparing a dollar store steak to A5 waygu.

It honestly baffles me every time that josh makes one of these just because he thinks we all have the time to make everything from scratch. We go to taco bell not for the quality but just for the quickness and affordability of taco bell. On the way home from a bad day at work, nothing slaps harder than some taco bell. We go there just for the ease and simplicity of the place. We don’t want to spend hours after a long day of work making all of this.
