Glen Bell.

In 1946, he ran a small walk-up hamburger stand in San Bernadino, California, at a time when the idea of "walk-up" was unheard of. His location was 4 miles from the brothers McDonald, who at the time were running a successful drive-in.

At that same stand, Bell effectively invented the modern taco by creating the pre-fab taco shell. A visitor to that stand liked what he saw and tacos showed up at the chain he worked for... Jack in the Box.

Beyond that original stand, Bell himself started 2 more chains that still have locations in existence (Taco-Tia and El Taco) and sold his partnerships before opening the first Taco Bell in Downey, California on March 21, 1962... Along the way, one of his store managers started Del Taco. Another ended up operating on a lot Bell had sold to raise capital to start Taco Bell. At Bell's suggestion, they made it a hot dog stand called "Der Wienerschnitzel".

Taco Bell thrived, they went up everywhere. Bell sold out to PepsiCo, who later spun off their restaurant segment into a company called Tricon. Tricon became Yum! Brands, Inc. in May 2002.

something that tastes like a precise Mexican meal!!! i could no longer have self belief it once I examine that Taco Bell is beginning stands in Mexico! it is going to likely be a guffawing shaggy dog tale. i'm sorry, yet there is purely no assessment with Taco Bell nutrition. do away with the yellow cheese and placed across in some actual Mexican cheese.
