Let me chime in in support of this Gawker/Philebrity black taco bet. Make it happen, JS.

Right on with the Cantina team making a black taco out of something that would cause it to be black for a reason… black beans or huitlacoche, for example. Right now, it is likely a regular lame taco with black dye #12.

Still a great ad though.

Right on with the Black Taco bet. Or get Cantina/Dos Segundos to mix up some special tortilla and jack sauce that doesn’t suck.

Also what is every county in Philadelphia? We only have one, unless they meant the metro area.

A quick survey of bets:

Cardinal Rigali (cheesesteaks) vs NY Archbishop Timothy Dolan (bagels).

4th district Councilman Curtis Jones (cheesesteaks) vs 4th district New York councilman Daniel Garodnick (cheesecakes).

Governor Rendell v Governor Paterson (staff vacations in losing city.

PA Senators Arlen Spector and Bob Casey (Philly cheesesteaks) v NY Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand (NY cheesesteaks).

Plus the mayors’ public-service thing.

C’mon, Philebrity, put some Black Tacos on the line with Gawker!

The mayors’ volunteer bet is actually a hell of a lot better than the usual crate of delicious cheesesteaks for whatever the hell it is they eat in New York. Bagels, I guess.
