The stars have finally aligned and let National Taco Day and Taco Tuesday fall on the same day. Very exiting. I plan to eat all the tacos tonight.
But who first came up with the phrase “Taco Tuesday”? There is a bit of drama surrounding it actually.
A taco chain in the Midwest called Taco John’s claims that they first used the term and registered it as a trademark in 1989. Ever since then they have fired off more cease and desist letters than chalupas to anyone who dares to use the phrase. But many people have proved that the term has been used well before Taco John’s started using it.
Enjoy your tacos tonight everyone. Extra guac please!
