See Taco Bell’s new floating restaurant that delivers tacos from the sky

 

Taco Bell’s newest location ditches the dining room and has four drive-thru lanes instead. The first-of-its-kind concept, called “Taco Bell Defy,” opened Tuesday in a Minneapolis suburb and is aimed at “redefining drive-thrus as consumers know it,” the chain said. Customers will notice that the kitchen is on top of the two-story building and orders are delivered via a “vertical lift” to their cars.

  

 

A sign of the future? Taco Bell has experimented with a number of pandemic-prompted design changes. In 2020, the chain debuted a “Go Mobile” concept that reduced the size of dining rooms and featured two drive-thru lanes. Inside, customers see more digital kiosks in addition to in-person staff who will take orders. The designs are in response to the changing ways consumers have been ordering fast food since the pandemic began. Digital orders and drive-thrus exploded in popularity for essentially every chain,  Chipotle, McDonald’s and Starbucks.

Update ...

Today, Wednesday, Grandhunk #2 picked me up and we had dinner at ...

   

Jake, GH #2 will be 23 next Monday, and since I wouldn't see him again before his birthday, I have been working on his photo card.It contained him during his younger years through 2010.

 

I went through a shoe box of earlier photos and cropped ones to use in the accordion birthday book/card. He said he had never seen many of the photos, and I loved watching him study them.

Then as near as I could tell I arranged them by age. I included 30 of GH #2 at different ages until 2010, than about 20 of he and his two brothers at different ages. It was  5X7" book and I made an envelope to house it.

  

 

I sealed it with a tiny washi tape heart. Believe it or not, he picked off the tape heart and put it on the back of his phone! Grandma was impressed.

Altogether, a wonderful late afternoon with such a handsome sweet Grandhunk! Thank you Jake!
