Back in the 1970s our squadron, the Kadena Clinic, would compete with other units around the island to see who could eat the most tacos. (See my story: "Wally's Tacos"). According to This Week on Okinawa, April 11-18, 1990 issue, the record was held by a team of 18 personnel from Torii Station who downed 240 tacos, 78 sodas, 2 orders of chili, and 8 bowls of hot sauce. I wonder who topped that, and when.
I've been back to Charlie's Tacos in recent years and they're still as delicious as I remembered them from back in the '70s and '80s. |
