00:12

00:34

00:36
Judge Craig J Bo's decision that a taco is a sandwich allows
00:42
the famous taco restaurant owner Martin Quintana to open a second location
00:49

01:05
I don't know those sandwich type spots,
01:06
right? Are exempt and they categorize the restaurant as such.
01:11
So now the restaurant can serve Mexican style sandwiches at their location
01:17
So he did him a solid.
01:19
Exactly. So people are like,
01:21
oh, what do these white people know about tacos?
01:24
It's like, wait,
01:24
no, no, hear me like he helped the restaurant owner
01:27
out. Right. So now he can open his restaurant because
01:30
think about it. Taco is kind of like a made to
01:32
order sandwich, like,
01:33
ok, taco de Asada Convo Con.
01:36
Oh, so it's not fast food,
01:38
you know, and you know what?
01:39
It's funny because each culture has their own version of a sandwich
01:44
Like what? Like,
01:45
like raps the Shawarma wraps.
01:47
It's also like, I don't know,
01:49
like each, each culture has their own form of.
01:53
Ultimately, I just want to say,
01:54
I think, you know,
01:54
Judge Babe or whatever your name is,
01:56
you're invited to the Carne because now we have another Mexican restaurant
02:00
in Indiana to put the people on some bomb food.
02:03
