Yum! Brands headquarters in Louisville, KY
Louisville, Kentucky: the home of the Louisville Slugger, the setting for the Kentucky Derby, and the corporate headquarters of Yum! Brands - the conglomerate that's a titan of the fast food world.
Yum! Brands has a trio of flagship franchises - KFC, Pizza Hut and this pseudo-Mexican brand which currently boasts 6,500 locations. Named for its founder, Glen Bell, this chain seems to pride itself on a menu that's as low on price as it is in nutritional value.

Unsatisfied Yelper[]
| “ | Bad karma is a bitch and we received it here after our libation crawl through PB.
It was partially my own damn fault. I don't carry cash and I was bitten on the ass for 90 millionth time for not doing so. We left Moondoggies and we were fucking starving. The friends like Toxic Hell and I said fuck no, but the lack of coin in my wallet put the kibosh on anything else. The bad karma starts on the way back to the car before getting eating Toxic Smell..... We passed Smack Donalds and the 99 cent McChicken sign and they replied, "No." Then we passed a hot dog stand....nope. The BACON wrapped hot dog stand came next........no bueno. The friends haven't experienced the bacon wrapped hot dog. A goddamn tragedy. The last place we passed was a taco stand that had the customary DMV like line.....nada. Taco Hell it is. Apparently the vast amount of alcohol we consumed had a terrible effect on our memories because we didn't realize the problem until AFTER we ate the 8 tacos. We actually ordered 10. Hmm, taco stands never make this mistake. The return trip to get the other 2 tacos was met with rejection. Like I said, karma is a bitch and we rightfully deserved it. The moral of this review: Always, always carry cash. |

The Feedbag[]
| “ | I love chain restaurants, but sometimes I worry if I make a big choice with seafood or other bolder entrees, I'll regret not getting a safe burger or steak. Do you guys do anything similar or is it not a concern at all? | ” |
–Zac Oyama, E-mail | ||
Nick suggests for a first or second visit, stick to a core menu item; but if you go later, feel free to try other things.
Jack and Mitch say you should just try the core items.
