Utah restaurant operator giving away 10,000 meals to military veterans to say thanks
SALT LAKE CITY — Veterans Day is Wednesday, but Laxman Paudyal doesn't think one day is enough to honor the men and women who serve the country. Accordingly, Paudyal, the owner of the five Taqueria 27 locations in the Salt Lake City area, is offering free taco meals for all of November to those in the service as a way of thanking them. He served in the U.S. Army, retiring as an E-4 specialist, and while he is currently outside the nation, Biplove Timilsina, a Salt Lake City restaurateur who manages the eateries for Paudyal, said he's eager to do something.
