What's in a Name?

Since going live on Facebook, we have received several inquiries regarding location and opening hours. It seems that a large portion of our followers is under the impression that GOOD TACO is a Mexican restaurant. While the name was indeed inspired by the souvenir markets of Mexico, the term is actually the brainchild of Cindy Tuddenham, and refers to a failsafe and semi-scientific method to label aesthetic choices as either good or poor. The line between good and bad taco can be quite difficult to identify and in anticipation of confusion we have included photo examples below for reference purposes. Please contact us if you require further clarification and/or guidance. And for goodness' sake, please stop placing orders for tacos con carne!

Luck of the Draw

It's been a busy week here at GOOD TACO. The response to our Olympic Sweepstakes was overwhelming, as we were inundated with entries from around the globe. Nearly 8% of our fan base took part! The seven entries included 2 family members, 2 lifelong friends and 3 co-workers. Thanks to all who participated.

In retrospect, we realize that our skill testing question may have been a little too challenging, and perhaps we should have excluded family members from the event. Nevertheless, we gave a fair draw to all (see photos) and would like to congratulate. . .

The mittens will be posted promptly, and should arrive in time for the closing ceremony. Go Canada Go!

Reflections and Projections

Please excuse our absence. We have been on an international, grassroots PR tour for GOOD TACO and were unable to blog during this time of flux. You will be happy to know that we have returned with exciting updates and two new followers, pushing our fan base to a solid eleven (11)!

We were able to meet several of our fans in person and would like to share some of their fine feedback:

• Robin Kops of New York commented "It's very well written"

• Karma Ramsey from the Salt Lake Chapter mentioned "GOOD TACO makes me happy!" (paraphrased)

• Coree Foreman of Winnipeg, Canada was made aware of the blog and exclaimed "Oh, there it is!"

We continue to welcome your comments.

Coming in 2010
