Burrito update

Hello friends,
It's been too long. I must update you on my burrito consumption news. Since the start of the month I've had three burritos - yes, a number too small for certain, but soon to be a number much greater.

Burrito #1 5/6/2007: I had a burrito at Allende on Lincoln and Fullerton near the DePaul campus. It made me very happy indeed. It was filled with steak and beans and lettuce and sour cream and cheese. I believe I will rank this burrito a 6. If I had been less sober, this ranking would have been higher......although I suppose that goes without saying.

Burrito #2 5/9/2007: I ate at La Bamba in Des Moines, IA. This should not be confused with the La Bamba burrito chain because they are not one and the same. This La Bamba was a sit down place and there was no puke in the bathroom toilets. My burrito was called the California Burrito. I assume it was named after the spot where most of the cooks crossed the border into the USA. It was definitely a site to behold: a foot long at least and covered with green sauce, white cheese sauce, and red salsa - it looked like a Mexican flag. I give this burrito a 6.5.

Burrito #3 5/11/2007: Garcia's on Lincoln and Lawrence. This burrito was huge! And chock full of pork and steak. I couldn't eat the whole thing and felt much shame asking for a to go box. This is a terrific burrito place. You can tell the people that work there take much pride in what they do and greater pride in wasting food because no one except Big John Stud himself would be able to eat a burrito in one sitting. I give this burrito an 8.

Good Bye for now, and good burrito eating to you all!

I entered yesterday at a meager total of 6 burritos. I made up for it in a big way by dining at Casa de Guadalajara. I ordered what they listed as a "burrito" on the menu, but it should have been listed as heaven. A very large slice of heaven. Extremely large. It was so big I might call it gigantic. Mmmmm, was it tasty. I give it a 7.5
