Honestly though, I’m glad I enjoy the things josh always shits on like Panda Express, Taco Bell, In N Out. I can’t imagine living a life where you hate all food that isn’t professionally cooked and prepared. My low standards of food keep me happy.

The quesarito is absolutely Taco Bell's best item and I will not accept any slander.

Taco Bell: *tries their hardest*

Weissman: “I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

the taco bell quesarito is fucking gold. i love that thing, this is slander. as compensation, i DEMAND that joshua sends one of his version to my house.

"They haven't changed their menu in 430 years..."

Okay, as a TB fan, there has been a huge pushback from them changing their menu and removing products. RIP Shredded chicken burrito.

I don't think Josh realizes that people go to Taco Bell not because we don't know better, but that we KNOW we're going to Taco Bell. We are purposefully and happily willing to go to Taco Bell. We KNOW there are better places. We KNOW Taco Bell is cheap. But that's the beauty of Taco Bell. Sometimes we just want Taco Bell and THATS OKAY.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was incredible. Holy smokes it tasted amazing, and I'll be the first to admit I'm a sucker for the OG Taco Bell version. I think this makes the 4th or 5th of your recipes that I've made, and every one of them has turned out spectacularly. Definitely worth the effort. Thank you Joshua!

Tried this last night. Easily one of the best things ever. The meat almost disintegrates in your mouth and the consume compliments it beautifully and makes the meat incredibly juicy. I made them slightly smaller since I didn’t have the resources for homemade tortillas (sorry papa) but it was still delicious. Thank you for these amazing recipes as always!

Joshua: we're NOT doing ground beef

Also Joshua: gets the beef quesarito instead of the steak.

Man, give those workers a break for your service rating - can you imagine how many assholes they deal with on an hourly basis

Low-key starting to believe josh wiessman secretly actually doesn't hate these fast food items, but instead wants to seem cool for his senpai: Gordon Ramsay

This looks amazing, but I will always have a special place in my heart for the Taco Bell Quesarito. Truly one of the most sinfully greasy and satisfying foods in fast food history

[TonInter]

That looks absolutely incredible.
Obviously this isn't a fair fight, one is an industrialized food item, the other one is a mind-blowing, personalized experience. I'd love to see Josh make two versions, one like this, and another that can be made a tad faster, something that perhaps a burrito place can actually do every day.

Bro. They took something away from me in 2015. The Grilled Stuffed Nacho. It was a mainstay in my life, I frequented the local Taco Bell unproudly just to satisfy my unhealthy GSN addiction, sometimes twice a day. I'm convinced someone working there must've noticed it and notified corporate and removed it hastily from my life and I've held a grudge since. If you can recreate this missing link in my life, I will buy one of your books, and buy a plane ticket to wherever you are to sign it and eat Josh grilled stuffed nachos with you and leave without a trace.

[DKranze]

I love everything Joshua makes. But sometimes, my time is more valuable than food. And I want a cheesy meat torpedo right now. So I can satisfy myself and get about my business. It's why fast food exists. We know what we're paying for lol

[MilesDillard-oo]

2:57 Joshua's "dun dun dun dun dun.... WHERE DA MEAT AT?" gets me every time man😂😂

[kiennguyentrung]

I love how josh advertises his cook book. He should work for an advertising agency

[meh-]

While I love fine dining I'm also totally happy to eat Taco Bell. Glad I'm not so refined that I'd need to spit it out and wash my mouth in the sink.

[forensicrl]

I would love to see a Cheesy Gordita Crunch (from Taco Bell) ‘But better” episode! It’s so delicious already I wonder how you’ll improve it!

Proud of Joshua for having handmade Mexican servilletas to cover his flour tortillas <3
