I knew a kid that was serving a LDS mission on the east coast and his buddies mailed him all their In N Out hamburger wrappers. No burgers, just the paper.

That’s awful. What a terrible thing to do to your friend.

 

Anyone have nate’s mailing address?

My question is “how does this change how the Angels’ Front Office conducts negotiations as well as Maddon’s day to day lineup changes?”

Hopefully the Del Tacos don't all become Jack in the Boxes.

Does this include the Barstow Del Tacos?  

[Blarg]

If your company went up for sale would it include the first storefront?

There is your answer.

I just moved to OKC and they've got a handful of Del Tacos out here. I hope that doesn't change...

I have no idea if they have corporate owned stores and franchise stores.

 In 1977 Ed and David sold the chain which had about 50 stores. But Ed retained the rights to own his own franchises.  Now there are over 500 Del Tacos.

That's how Lake Forest ended up with two Del Tacos like 100 feet from each other.

That's right next to the Serrano Adobe so they had to make sure there was enough food for all the vaqueros.

When I was at Pepperdine, the only fast food restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter) open late in Malibu was Jack in the Box. My friends and I made many 11 PM trips to Jack in the Box (I promise we weren't high ... at least, I wasn't).

I was going to say that they cater to the smokers. I'm not a big fast food fan to begin with but they are the worst of the bunch.

To add to this, it was always the same guy working the late night drive thru shift. Gene, a.k.a. "Skeletor." He had kind of a skeleton appearance and would bark at people for not paying exact change.

No, but neither could Trout.

If only INO had bought Del Taco... just for the fries.

It would be a problem of biblical proportions.  Those on a 3 am bender will have to chose between the Jack in the Box crack tacos and the Del Taco crack tacos.  Eventually the order taker will have to say, sir, why don't you have one order of each.  Then for the next 10 minutes it'll be confusion of is that possible, no you can't mix.  How could I choose.
