"The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches," the judge wrote.

    Things like this seem silly but there’s likely laws or protection that use sandwiches in their wording.

    Defining things you want them to apply to as sandwiches is easier than changing the law.

      Makes more sense than the time Indiana tried to define pi as 3.2. The only reason it didn’t was because a professor from Purdue was in Indianapolis on unrelated business and convinced Indiana’s senate to table the bill.

      Of course, we know today that such a thing couldn’t happen since Indiana’s legislature would laugh at the woke lib and pass it just to trigger him.

        Well two decimal places invokes the devil, as does rounding correctly.

        Someone is going to find stuff like this in the future and think we’re dumb as fuck. They’d be right, but not because of this.

      But why do they even have laws about sandwiches in the first place?

        Read the article. It’s a zoning issue.

          I’m sorry sir, this is a sandwich only zone. You and your parfait need to leave immediately.

            I’m not sure if this particular article explained, but I live here. He signed an agreement that stated that “any food business allowed would be a ‘subway’ style food business”

            That’s the issue

            Edit: I’m a huge fan of this taco place, just stating what’s going on. I hate subway.

              That isn’t a law or zoning then, just some contract dispute.

                Yea, which is why it’s in court I believe. It’s escalated to this point.

            They are trying to exclude traditional fast food like McD’s,Wendy’s, etc.

        Could be food safety, taxes, production rules or any number of things.

          The article does not mention any sandwich specific laws, just contract stuff about what kind of restaurant can be in a strip mall.
