**BREAKING: TACO-GATE ROCKS FORT WAYNE, INDIANA AS JUDGE RULES IN FAVOR OF TACO LOVERS**

Fort Wayne, IN – In a shocking and deliciously dramatic turn of events, a local judge has declared that tacos and burritos are, in fact, “Mexican-style sandwiches” in a landmark ruling that has left the community in stitches and the restaurant industry reeling.

The controversy began when “Taco Titan,” a popular food truck, and “Burrito Bandit,” a rival eatery, found themselves at odds over a disputed menu item. Taco Titan claimed that Burrito Bandit’s “Burrito Blasters” were, in fact, sandwiches and therefore infringed on their patented “Taco-Tron” recipe.

The case made its way to the bench of Judge Reginald P. Bottomsworth, a no-nonsense jurist with a penchant for puns and a love of Mexican cuisine. After a marathon 3-hour lunch break, during which he reportedly consumed an entire tray of nachos, Judge Bottomsworth delivered his verdict: tacos and burritos are, indeed, Mexican-style sandwiches.

“It’s a wrap, folks!” exclaimed Judge Bottomsworth, banging his gavel for emphasis. “Or should I say, it’s a tortilla- wrapped bundle of joy? In any case, the people have spoken, and the people have declared that tacos and burritos are, in fact, sandwiches. ¡Viva la tortilla revolución!”

The ruling sent shockwaves throughout the community, with some residents rejoicing and others crying foul. “This is a dark day for America,” said one outraged citizen. “What’s next? Are we going to start calling pizza a ‘flatbread’ or something?”

Meanwhile, Taco Titan and Burrito Bandit were unavailable for comment, as they were too busy celebrating their respective victories and plotting their next culinary conquest.

In related news, the Fort Wayne City Council has announced plans to establish a new “Taco Tuesdays” holiday, which will feature free tacos for all residents and a special appearance by Judge Bottomsworth, resplendent in his signature sombrero.

**UPDATE:** The Indiana Supreme Court has announced that it will be reviewing the ruling, citing concerns that it may set a “precedent for absurdity.” However, Judge Bottomsworth remains defiant, saying, “Hey, someone’s got to bring a little excitement to the world of jurisprudence. And if that means declaring tacos sandwiches, then so be it. ¡Viva la taco-judicial revolution!”
