THEY'RE COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with that meeting Kirk, thanks for the tip.

Personally, I still haven't had a KK and I've no idea what the commotion is all about, lol.

As far as taco bell, speaking as one who was supervisor at one of their competitors and not liking their bland version of mexican food anyway, I don't know if that particular brand of mexican food will ever make it here. I prefer it with some flavor, some kick, and judging from the British love of a darn spicy curry, I think they might prefer another mexican chain if any.

*gasp shock horror* And you call yourself an Amercian.  

OH! But it MUST be the glazed-filled, yes indeed.... so happy to see this posting as my husband and I were just reminiscing...  

How about Coldstone's now? I'll have the cream with coconut, or how about vanilla bean with chopped cherries and pistachios?

I've never had a Krispy Kreme I know how unAmerican   are they anything like Dunkin Donuts? There used to be DD shops in London awhile back, don't know if they are still there. One used to be across from Selfridges.

Dick Clark is STILL alive? [smiley=speechless.gif]

I'm not a donut fan but Keith loves them and believes KK to be the best there are.  He'll be very happy to hear about them crossing the pond.

Regarding Mexican food, there's a great Mexican restaurant at Bluewater.  We've also been to a quite good one in Tunbridge Wells.  I'm a chicken quesadilla (sorry, never could spell that correctly) fiend and both places made them as good as I've ever had them (even when in Texas)! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Dick Clark is definately still around.  He even has this "horrible" show in the US that's a male takeoff of "The View" called "The Other Half" (or something similiar to that).  He's the Barbara Walters of the show and it has three really obnoxious presenters including Danny Bonnaduce (who I cannot stand!).  I always liked old Dickie but this show sucks, big time, IMO. [smiley=thumbsdown.gif]

Names. We want names.

I left just in time.

These aren't the ones she was mentioning, but I can tell you that Cafe Pacifico in Central London (practically across the street from Covent Garden Tube) is very good for Mexican!  (Never thought I'd say that but it's true!!!)  I've been three times and the food is always good, staff friendly, and all the tortilla chips and fresh homemade salsa you can stand.  I highly recommend it!  

Dare I say, but I think the UK is becoming ripe for Mexican. It won't be too long before the fast foods retry an appearance. Maybe this time they'll stick around.

I can't remember the names offhand but I'll find out and post them.  My very favorite food is Mexican and I love these places so I think you'd like them!

Oh that is fabulous news!
Now if they open an outlet near me and they also do iced coffee I will be thrilled to bits. I am seriously missing Dunkin Donuts iced coffee this summer     I know I can probably make my own but its not the same, you all know how it is!
Good luck with the job search, biggest apple. I know its not been easy all around with job hunting.
Does anyone agree that we need Taco Bell in this country? I know its not genuine Mexican but still...
