Food Network to feature restaurant founded in Tahoe

JimBoy’s Tacos, which was founded in a camper trailer in 1954 at Kings Beach, is going national.

The Food Network is planning to film a segment at the Folsom location this fall. Last week’s shoot had to be rescheduled (new date not yet released) because a member of the TV crew got ill.

Celebrity chef Guy Fieri recommended the chain for “Guilty Pleasures”; especially for its ground beef taco.

Most of the chain’s nearly 40 locations are in Northern California, though the first one in Orange County opened last weekend.
