A legend...and potential legend...have died

Glen W. Bell Jr., whose idea in 1951 to sell crispy-shell tacos from the window of his hamburger stand became the foundation of Taco Bell, the restaurant chain that turned Mexican fare into fast food for millions of Americans, died at his home in Rancho Santa Fe, California, on January 16th. He was 86.

It's a sad day for Taco Bell enthusiasts. But 86 is a respectable age to pass. Ryan and I can only hope to last as long as Mr. Bell after the many GSB and double deckers are consumed over our life time.

Also, Gaines Adams, the 4th overall pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2007 NFL Draft, died January 17th. No he was not a well known Taco Bell fan...but he was in one of the greatest youtube videos of all time. BEASTMODE...in heaven.

RIP Glen Bell and Gaines Adams
