Taco bell is bringing its waffle taco to 100 more locations this week after the success it received in Southern California, where it was put on the menu in May. Waffles and tacos sound like a strange combination; the breakfast taco, however, contains a fairly standard breakfast fare rolled into one—eggs and sausage in a folded waffle with a side of syrup.
Locations spread across Fresno, Calif.; Omaha, Neb.; and Chattanooga, Tenn., will offer the waffle taco starting Thursday. The company aims to take a slice of the booming breakfast segment of the dining industry, according to the Los Angeles Times.
