500 Tacos for Information on Thief
A restaurant in Utah is taking the next logical step in the coming Taco dominance of our planet-- tacos as currency. Rather then offering a cash reward, the enterprising owner of Melina's is offering 500 tacos for information leading to the arrest of someone who swiped the till last week. Tacos are already in use as a currency in several office buildings in downtown Los Angeles as well as in at least one California prison.

Tacos: Healthiest Fast Food
According to LA Times columnist Steve Lopez, two tacos are much better for you (lowest calories, and also lower in fat and cholesterol) then the other common fast food items eaten in our great city. Lopez, time to do more items on tacos if you really want to get cred and potentially win a Pulitzer or Beard award. Hop to it!
