Why is that even a consideration?

I don't understand why he just didn't say the restaurant was going to sell tacos, burritos and tortas in the initial plan. He should have defined it as "Chipotle-style" and not "Subway-style", that would have cleared up a lot of confusion.

In any case it's ridiculous there's such a specific and legalistic disputes in a case like this. Everyone could see the intention behind the restaurant given its name.

I'm going to grill some sandwiches tonight. Nothing like a fresh grilled hamburger sandwich. Maybe throw on some hot dogs if I have enough coals left to make hotdog sandwiches too. Also have a slice of blueberry sandwich and whipped cream I want to finish up.

It's a little too much work most of the time for me to make fancier sandwiches though, like a pot pie or beef Wellington. I do enjoy baking apple sandwiches when the apples come in around here.

Do not forget about its polluted waterways and its long history as the most polluted county in 'Murica. Also, the fact Indiana decided tacos y burritos are sandwiches are true authentic gringo moment of 'Murica of 2024. Most Amerimutts tend to be moronic, but this one is very hysterical with the fact they are now seen as sandwiches. He could have just clarified it the other way around like "Chipotle-style" like the above replier said, instead of "Subway-style". Not to mention, Subways still taste really sad and that you would better off making your homemade sandwich that looks more colourful than your typical Subway order in America.
This was the most gringo bullshit I have seen about food for a while, consider how retarded some Amerimutts are. He should have just concisely elaborate what and what instead of just saying the shit opposite to what the original restaurant's specialty is. Off-topic, but tomorrow is where I will make my own banh mi, a delight and is considered as the vanilla ice cream of the sandwich family. You like it or not, but it is tenfold better than most moisty sandwiches being shoddily made to fulfill the order of unwitting customers.

No, tacos and sandwiches are two completely different animals. This is like those jerkoffs who said Pluto isn’t a planet. Just shut the fuck up.

Depends on where you are, in the UK where the term sandwich originated only allows cold fillings meaning chicken sandwiches and burgers are not legally sandwiches.

Meanwhile in Mediterranean the term 'sandwich' is commonly applied to wraps, like my local shawarma place calls their wraps 'sandwiches' and that was also the case when I was in North Africa all the menus in french had wraps labeled as 'sandwiches'
 
Here's the plaintiffs argument for why a taco is a sandwich.

A “sandwich” is defined as two or more slices of bread or a split roll having a filling in
between. See https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sandwich. The definition also
includes one slice of bread covered with food – known as an open face sandwich. Id. Thus,
whether an open face sandwich or a sliced split roll (a.k.a. subway sandwich) a sandwich can be a single piece of bread covered with food. A taco is defined as “a tortilla filled with various
ingredients, as beans, rice, chopped meat, cheese, and tomatoes, and folder over in half or rolled into a loose cylinder shape.” See https://www.dictionary.com/browse/taco. Continuing on, a tortilla is defined as “a thin round of unleavened cornmeal or wheat flour bread usually eaten hot with a topping or filling (as of ground meat or cheese).” See https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tortilla (emphasis added). In other words, a taco is a tortilla covered with food, and a tortilla is a type of bread. A taco is a Mexican sandwich, and the Amended Commitment is consistent with the Original Commitment. Indeed, the Amended Commitment
acts to clarify the Original Commitment and reflects the agreement between Quintana and the Association regarding use of the Real Estate

"OK SO IS A TACO A SANDWICH, BECAUUUSSSEEEE LEGALLLLLLY...."

Prepare to feel like the victims of those acid attacks in Britain, only instead of a cup of acid it's going to be this distilled reddit-ass "humorous brainteaser pot-stirring-kinda-query". I gotta call off or something.

For me, it's the Veggie Taco Supreme. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra Soy based Queso on the side and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige. One time I asked for Soy Queso packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly Taco Bell worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!". Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local Taco Bell restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large burrito sandwich with bugs instead of meat, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great sandwich that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs. I even dip my enchilada sandwich in Soy Queso, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

Thankfully what Mexico thinks has no bearing here.

The crux of this ruling is that tacos are "Mexican-style sandwiches". If we're throwing out what Mexico thinks, then their styling gets thrown out too, and tacos aren't a sandwich. QED.

Tortillas are not bread and anyone who argues otherwise is a retard.

By the way, everyone hating the Association for being autistic is missing the point. As terrible as they are, those organizations exist to keep a locality feeling how it did when people moved there to enjoy it. They're the ones interested in keeping a neighborhood "looking nice", a standard that can't be legally enforced or left to the free market to manage.

When they approved a sub or sandwich style restaurant, they were trying to regulate the flow of traffic in the area, while providing an intentionally quick food stop. If they looked at a taco shop and said "that's casual dining" or it would have people stay in the area for longer, then they're right to reject it as a use of the place that wasn't intended during development.

I'm more willing to give the locals the benefit of the doubt on this one, rather than a Mexican in Indiana who found a judge stupid enough to say tacos are sandwiches.

Well if you live in a country without real bread or cheese I guess you gotta make your sandwich with tortillas and beans instead.

Which came first for bread, the flatbread or the loaf? It’s arguable that flatbread wraps are the ancestral sandwich archetype.
