Even though I now live in Springfield, two hundred miles from Kansas City, there are times I'll still make the midnight drive back to the Northland. My destination: the drive-thru at In-A-Tub, where I can get five deep-fried tacos with mild sauce, a Pepsi and a side of extra cheese to devour in the comfort of my front seat.

  1. If you drive 200 miles in the middle of the night for a taco you have some really serious mental health issues.

  2. I did notice it wasn't on the list of hipster taco joints in the article you published a couple of days ago. As nearby neighbor, I can indulge in their greasy goodness any time.

  8. "Beeman has to buy five thousand pounds at a time for a whopping $23,000 due to the cheese’s scarcity."


    Yet I buy it 2.5lbs at a time of orange powdered cheese off Amazon all the time and it's never sold out. Great on popcorn, baked potatoes and taco salads.

    Damn stupid story and 9:03 is dead on the money.

  9. No offense to those that like in a tub but for me those are the nastiest, greasiest things I’ve ever attempted to eat, definitely not my thing.
