Dream Meal (no intro needed) -Griff

Going to Taco Bell and ordering goes far beyond ordering your one favorite item. You must select in such a way that you are sure all items will compliment each other in size, taste, variety, and price. Chances are if you ask 10 people what they order when they get their Fourth Meal, you will get a different combo of items every time. Whatever the case here is my "Dream Meal."

1. Grilled Stuft Burrito w/ steak (GSB)
"A large, warm, soft, flour tortilla wrapped around seasoned ground beef, hearty beans, seasoned rice, a blend of three cheeses — cheddar, pepperjack and mozzarella, creamy Pepper Jack sauce, and Fiesta Salsa, then grilled to perfection. You can also upgrade this item with marinated and grilled all-white-meat chicken or authentic carne asada steak. (which I clearly do)"

It really doesn't get any better this. It is the perfect combo of textures and flavors all for around $3. It is a great foundation because of its size and can be combined with any other item. It just can't be beat.

2. Cheesy Gordita Crunch (CGC)
"A crunch taco shell filled with seasoned ground beef, zesty Pepper Jack sauce, shredded lettuce and a blend of three cheeses — cheddar, pepperjack and mozzarella, ALL wrapped in a warm, pillowy flatbread attached with the melted three cheese blend"

No substitutions are needed here, this taco/gordita is perfect as is, and for only $2 it's a steal. Taco Bell knows this as well since they don't have it on any of their menus or on their website yet will always serve it. Its soft exterior provides the perfect following to the tough guy exterior of the GSB. It is the ying to the GSB's yang. A match made in heaven. Because both items are accented with the phenomenal Pepper Jack sauce yet have differing fillings, these items are perfectly in sync with one to deliver two unique dishes with pleasant similarities.

3. The Wildcard
No, don't get excited thinking this is the newest item Taco Bell has to offer, because it isn't. My third and final item is called The Wildcard because here I choose any item from the value menu to ensure fullness and, something the 49ers currently have none of, pocket protection. I'll generally go with the chicken burrito, never the taco, as the chicken quality and flavor somehow seems to diminish quickly in taco form. If I'm feeling crazy I'll go with the triple layer nachos. However you pick you're only adding an extra buck to your total which will make sure you leave full in both your stomach and wallet (I know I kind of stole that from their "I'm fuuuulllllll" slogan but whatever)

So in the end, with tax, you are only looking at around $7 for the damn near best meal you could ever imagine in your life. I know we won't all agree on the combination of items, as we all have our opinions, but all I ask is that if you haven't tried either of my #1 or #2, DO SO!!! It needs to be done.
