I have to also admit that I can't recall ever really craving tacos. But again, today was an exception. The entire morning at work (shoutout to Winans Fine Chocolates and Coffees!) I couldn't stop thinking about tacos. It may have been my foodie subconscious nagging at me to start this search for the best [enter food item] in Columbus. But that still doesn't answer the question: why tacos?
I guess that will remain unanswered until I find the taco in Columbus that makes me close my eyes and think, yes. THAT'S why tacos. Even better, a taco that makes me say that out loud, in the restaurant.
So today marks the beginning of this challenge I created for myself. Basically, I've made a list of different food items (buffalo chicken sandwich, oysters, cheese pizza, fried chicken, croissant, sushi, wings, taco, etc.) and for each item I will embark on a search for the absolute best one in Columbus. Hopefully along the way I'll learn some new things about the culture, history, and techniques behind each item.
Thanks to my random aching for traditional Mexican food, tacos are the first! I am really excited to find the absolute best taco in Columbus, especially because today I went to the first taquerÃa on my list, had my first authentic taco, and fell in love. But I still have many more tacos to enjoy, and only one can win! muahahahahaha side note: I do an excellent evil laugh in person.
Criteria for best taco:
-Presentation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
-Balance of Flavors: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
-Creativity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
-Overall Quality: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The "grades" for each taco I try will be included, as well as comments and mini reviews of each restaurant.
I leave you with the sexiest, funniest song you will ever hear about tacos: Taco Grande
Critically yours,
