Cheflebrity Smörgåsbord: Unfathomable Sadness

Friends. There will be no Smörgåsbord today. I just can’t be frivolous on the day that we lost Gidget, who played — nay, embodied — the Taco Bell Chihuahua in print and on film.  Raise your chalupas high, Endless Simmer Nation, in a salute to this legend of fast food marketing.

Feel free to relive the joy and laughter that Gidget brought us by vising the Taco Bell Chihuahua Wikipedia page or by watching some guy blow the shit out of a stuffed animal version of the dog with a firecracker.

I think I can safely say that this is how Gidget would have wanted to be remembered:  Being slowly consumed by flames and then exploding in a large fireball.
