California Fast-Casual Chain Heading to Kentucky and Tennessee
I love it when restaurant chains we've longed to have set up shop in Kentucky make the decision to expand and include our humble Commonwealth. And nine times out of ten, those chains are ones with which we are familiar.
Relatively New California-Based Chain Coming to Kentucky and Tennessee
The news that California-based Jack in the Box was opening up to 20 restaurants in Kentucky was met with a lot of excitement. On many occasions, when we've asked folks what they'd like to see come to Kentucky, Jack in the Box was always on the short list. Not so Roll-Em-Up Taquitos. And that leads me to believe it IS an unfamiliar enterprise east of the Mississippi. But it soon won't be.

The Story of Roll-Em-Up Taquitos
Unlike some chains I've written about that established themselves long ago, Roll-Em-Up Taquitos is a veritable baby in the fast casual/street casual industry. It was only 17 years ago that a father and son--Ron and Ryan--decided they needed to share Mama Karen's taquitos with the rest of the world. And Roll-Em-Up Taquitos was born. And, of course, the menu has expanded greatly to include far more items than just taquitos--which are sensational; don't get me wrong. Nope. There's a lot to choose from...more so even than THIS selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWyiFTmwnI
When Will We See Roll-Em-Up Taquitos 'Roll' Into KY and TN?
And it won't be very long at all before Roll-Em-Up Taquitos opens its first location in these parts; the fourth quarter of 2023 is the target. I, for one, am happy this is somewhat on the fast track. I want to dive face first into everything you've seen and then some. And I cannot wait to chow down on Hot Cheetos Street Corn:
