Spaghetti Tacos Get 4-Star Treatment

spagtacos1010a.jpg Well, that didn't take long. New York City restaurateurs are talking tacos... spaghetti tacos. Joseph Bastianich, of four-star Del Posto, told Grub Street that he thinks the new trend—started by an episode of iCarly—is brilliant. He added, "If I didn’t have to come to this event tonight, I was going to go home and make my kids spaghetti meatball tacos. I would put a bolognese with lots of tomatoes and mini meatballs. I think soft taco, not hard. If I wanted to do a Mexicali riff, I’d do soft tacos." For those with a more adult palate, he suggests "you could riff and do branzino tacos with arugula salad, Tuscan olive oil and avocados." But those sound less fun.

    this is insane! Carly is supposed to be a vegetarian! That's why spaghetti tacos is one of her favorite dishes. Why would she put a bolognese sauce or mini meatballs on it?? Must you hipsters bastardize everything????

    I need to open up a Raemen Noodle restaurant because being single for many years made me possibly the greatest Raemen Noodle chef in the world.

    My grandmother always put spaghetti noodles in her chili which I've never seen anyone else do. It was awesome!

    I think that's called Cincinnati style.

    That makes sense. She was from Indianapolis, so maybe it's a Midwest thing.

    Hear that, Stanton Street Meatball Shop dudes? By next Thursday, please.

    So are the tacos a slide to get all the piscetti down your gullet extra fast?
