Breaking San Diego Restaurant News 

taco failIn a bold move, it has come to my attention that the Health Department will be shutting down all restaurants in the San Diego area that cater to “Taco Tuesday” feasts.

In investigating this phenomena that has taken over eating Mexican food on Tuesdays, they fielded many complaints from other ethnic restaurants who claimed sales were  lagging because they are not participants and therefore cannot afford to employ staff on Tuesdays.

They’d like to find a way to blame Mayor Filner, but haven’t been able to get any support from UT-San Diego. The Health Department, which is run by the County, has been much more sympathetic.

Therefore, with only a one day notice, all “Taco Tuesday” establishments will need to close tomorrow and every Tuesday thereafter.

    ‘..they fielded many complaints from other ethnic restaurants who claimed sales were lagging because they are not participants and therefore cannot afford to employ staff on Tuesdays….’

    the health department is going to shut down a marketing campaign….serious…?

    the restaurants aren’t violating any heath codes and the theory that ‘taco tuesday’ is keeping others from finding workers is ridiculous – but also not the problem of the health dept…
