Taco Bell, the restaurant known for having ground beef that's utterly indescribable, reportedly told Beyond Meat that its version of carne asada wasn’t good enough to serve.

Beyond Meat denies the report — Shira Zackai, head of communications at the company told The Verge in an email that “the test between Beyond Meat and Taco Bell was not canceled. Our partnership is strong, and we are actively working together to create a plant-based protein that’s completely new to the national QSR (quick serve restaurant) space. We look forward to sharing more details on what Beyond Meat and Taco Bell have planned in the coming months.”

But their training program must suck.
Weird but most of the good ones were former McDonalds managers.
Odd but there it is.
Places I normally never go, but we all go in a pinch.
I wonder if Taco Bell will run tests to determine if the BETC of Beyond Meat is on par with the rest of their fare? (Bowel Expulsion Time Coefficient)
