    It’s okay by me if Jack goes the Carl’s Jr./Green Burrito route with Del Taco.

    I’ve always thought the Haberman hate has been over the top. NYT isn’t partial enough for either party. But let’s not derail the thread here

    a) you done derailed it right here

    b) If anything, the Haberman hate isn't strong enough. This board prides itself on doing the quality journalisms, but now we're going to bat for someone who clearly spent four solid years selling her soul for access/advancement? Come on now...

    I just hope that the NYT, which has long since jumped the shark as a respectable news organization, doesn't get those fingerprints all over The Athletic...

    "Chet, who didn't want his last name used, sipped a cup of coffee at the diner counter and blamed Biden for the wokeness that he believes has slowed down the Nets."

    Del Taco made an ill-fated dive into North Texas in the middle of last decade. It lasted marginally longer than Krystal did.

    So how long before Bari Weiss says The Athletic is trying to cancel her?

    Yes, that would seem to be a bad move. We've got a handful of them here in the Rockies. They were a No. 2 or 3 stop for me in SoCal, after Naugles and Miguel's.

    Miguel's has really dropped in quality, sadly. Their wet B&C burrito was a go-to for years but recent efforts have been lackluster at best. Over-expansion is the culprit, I suppose.

    She can cancel like the rest of us, in November just before the $1/month deal expires.

    It's been a couple of years since I stopped in at one, but yeah, they have over-expanded.

    The "HeRe's WhY" headlines need to be purified with fire.
