An outbreak of norovirus among the students at Northwestern is tied to a $1 burrito promotion. The Evanston Department of Health say the outbreak is linked to Big Wig Tacos & Burritos. The $1 burrito promotion offered by local "no-frills" Mexican restaurant Big Wig Tacos & Burritos on November 18 has reportedly triggered a minor outbreak of norovirus among Northwestern University's student body. With Big Wig Tacos & Burritos' cooperation, investigators are working to pinpoint the specific origin of the contamination. Big Wig Tacos & Burritos did not respond to a request for comment.

Taco Bell is stepping up its breakfast game to compete with McDonald's.

Taco Bell leans into burritos and breakfast wraps, while the McDonald's menu is heavy on breakfast sandwiches.

☆ Bob Iger's return as Disney's CEO once sparked hope inside the company. Now, insiders are anxious and losing faith.

"There was a lot of excitement and hope at the return of Bob Iger a year ago," a current Disney staffer told Insider. Uncertainty about the company's future and about who's deciding what on the creative side has left execs in a state of inertia, according to an entertainment lawyer with knowledge of Disney's business. The declining linear TV business culminated in a standoff with Charter Communications over terms for a new contract for carrying Disney's cable channels. And Disney's streaming business, which was supposed to make up for the decline in cable revenues, has lost $11 billion since Disney+ launched in 2019. Churn is a top concern in Disney streaming, some employees said.

Taco Bell didn’t reveal if a financial settlement was involved. “The response we’ve seen over the last six months since taking action to free ‘Taco Tuesday’ is the exact reason we felt it was worth freeing it in the first place,” Taco Bell’s chief marketing officer Taylor Montgomery told CNN. However, Gregory’s owners proved harder to persuade, and they said that Taco Bell made them “look bad” during an August giveaway of free tacos. “For Gregory’s Restaurant and Bar, ‘Taco Tuesday’ brought a lot of pride over the past 40 years,” said co-owner Gregory Gregory. Therefore, I am not surprised that the Gregory’s waived the white flag and surrendered its trademark registration.”Gregory’s surrender marks the final hurdle of Taco Bell’s legal battle of eliminating the trademark from its two holders.

Chipotle has been raising its prices over the past few years, citing higher costs. In June of 2021, Chipotle said it was raising prices about 3.5% to 4%. So far at Chipotle, the increased prices haven’t scared people off — clearing the way for more expensive burritos. Even companies that have seen customers pull back due to the higher prices reported higher sales, because those higher prices offset volume declines. The snack and beverage company said it increased prices globally by 11% on average, helping nudge revenue higher than analysts’ expectations.
