There’s something about the walking tacos at Lincoln Square’s Taco in a Bag that invites comparison to Patton Oswalt’s “failure pile in a sadness bowl” rant about KFC. Owned and operated by champion gurgitators Pat “Deep Dish” Bertoletti and Tim “Gravy” Brown, aka Glutton Force Five, Taco in a Bag traffics in an undeniably alluring sort of drunk/stoner fuel that can result in a different kind of crapulence. It may soften your hangover, but the shame might make you feel worse.*

And after all, you don’t necessarily need to feel bad about yourself after a visit to Taco in Bag—there are vegetarian bags available, including a reverse-engineered coney dog approximation, and two salads in a bag, served on romaine instead of chips. But apart from those, one should always offset the effect of walking tacos by walking and eating anyway. That’s what they were made for.
