Taco lovers everywhere, rejoice! The news is out; Taco Bell has won its “Taco Tuesday” trademark battle. Legally we can all say and use the term now! The fast-food giant has taken on its fast-food counterpart, Taco John’s, who claimed the slogan as theirs for the past 34 years.
Taco John's just announced that it is giving up the trademark.
Tuesday is the day of the week when busy families can swing by their favorite taco spot and get discounted tacos for lunch and or dinner! The problem was nobody could plug it as Taco Tuesday because Taco John's owned the trademark and no one else, including Taco Bell, was authorized to use it in their advertising, marketing, or promotions.
Fast forward to today. Taco Bell, with a playful gesture, has taken up the challenge and has won wholeheartedly, snatching the rights of "Taco Tuesday" from Taco John's. The mastermind behind Taco Bell's success in this challenge, in my opinion, is the NBA Superstar and taco lover, LeBron James. Their creative commercial campaign featuring LeBron trying to say the term and he keeps getting bleeped because it was illegal.
According to NY Post Taco John CEO Jim Creel said “We’ve always prided ourselves on being the home of Taco Tuesday, but paying millions of dollars to lawyers to defend our mark just doesn’t feel like the right thing to do.” In other words...We knew we would lose so we had to just give it away.
Taco Bell’s win is not just their victory but also paves the way for so many other restaurants and food establishments across the country in the future. With the trademark now officially out from under the confines of Taco John’s claws, all fast-food restaurants can advertise their Tuesday discounts without fear of getting sued.

Top Chef Driven Fast Food Restaurant In Las Vegas
The Las Vegas Strip is inundated with fast food, causal dining restaurants and little hole in the wall places to eats. Very similar to New York City, the Las Vegas Strip can be intimidating with all of the hustle and bustle.
While you're on journey of exploration through Las Vegas Blvd stop by Top Round which can be found in the heart of Las Vegas. They are located at 3782 S Las Vegas Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89109 which Vegas locals may recognized as the former Bruxie Original Fried Chicken & Waffle Sandwich. "The Park" which is the outdoor dining commons can be found in between the Park MGM and T-Mobile Arena but on the same side of T-Mobile Arena.
The beef on weck hot spot started in Los Angeles, California back in June of 2013, serving up 100 percent pure ground beef. Five friends, Anthony, Fretz, Jamie, Noah and Saukok, who grew up in St. Louis and Buffalo eating real beef sandwiches wanting to keep the dream alive. Their success speaks for itself opening a second location in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Las Vegas is the third Top Round fast food restaurant to open and we are ecstatic to see what the locals think about their iconic "cheese wizz."
Their menu is expansive with a little something for everyone. Their house specialties features slow-roasted beef sandwiches, hand breaded chicken sandwiches, curly fries, tater tots and frozen custard. They haven't forgotten their non meat eater customers with fresh salads and grilled cheese. Their websites states that their roast beef is "free of additives, fillers and preservatives."
Their menu item "horse & hole" is presented as a sesame bottom bun face down, slow roasted ground beef, roasted mushrooms, provel cheese and horseradish cream enclosed with the top of the sesame bun. Most of their slow cooked roast beef sandwiches range from nine dollars to 15 dollars. Their all natural chicken breasts are "hand-breaded, marinated in buttermilk and pickle brine." If you order a "crispy tenders box" comes with three big tenders, curly fries, pickles and comeback sauce that will pack a punch. The mega box comes in at a whopping $14.95.
If you like to get messy you want to check out their "Dirty Fries." This popular menu item comes with curly fries with gravy, provel cheese, caramelized onions and round sauce. For $6.99, you can't beat it!
Lastly, if you don't order the ice cream custard did you really go to Top Round? They have plenty of concrete combinations like "Pretzel PB Crunch" which is Reese's Pieces, Pretzels and Chocolate Syrup. They honestly put traditional fast food to shame.
