Jason Stewart’s Grub Street Diet

"A childhood fast-food stalwart and Southern California ubiquity that the writer still loves: his go-to is a chicken soft taco — grilled chicken with unmelted cheddar, shredded iceberg, and a tangy white sauce, typically finished with a packet of spicy hot sauce — paired with well-done fries, guacamole, and a bean-and-cheese burrito ordered ‘‘Bold’’ (their variation that stuffs fries and extra white sauce inside). It’s presented as comforting, nostalgic, and adaptable (he and his brother even hacked the menu during a vegan phase), and remains one of the only fast-food spots he still frequents." - Chris Crowley
