Week Forty-Five

Medicine Man

Two decent burritos in a row. It's a burrito miracle! Isaac waxes philosophical about the Deer Hunter, which this burrito resembles. Grits and hash browns are not the same food. Daniel thinks balancing dry and moist materials makes a successful burrito. Ben thinks pico makes a successful burrito. Neither know what they hell they are talking about.

Ingredients: Steak, Chicken, Bacon, Potato, Green Chile, Milanesa, and Cheese

Ratings:
Ben - Buzz Aldrin, not Buzz Lightyear, he's an astronaut isn't he? He went to the moon, he punched a reporter. I don't know much about him, but I don't have any negative feelings toward him.
Daniel - Black Jack, it's about my favorite game to play when I go to Vegas. It's not playing video poker at the bar and getting free drinks for only $10 worth of quarters though.
Isaac - Guinness Stout, a really good stout, I would give anyone just trying out a stout a Guinness Stout. I have stouts that I like more but I'm never above ordering a Guinness.

Burrito Quest is all about...stamina. We (Ben, Isaac, and Daniel) ate our way through the Specialty Burrito menu at Santa Fe Grill, a fast food eatery located inside Pic Quik convenience stores in Las Cruces, New Mexco. This list is a good 60 burritos long, and it took us all of 2009, and a quarter of 2010.

Along the way we met and (we like to think) befriended a burristro who we named Salsa Bro. Toward the end of our quest, Salsa Bro was unceremoniously fired for, rumor has it, giving free burritos to pretty ladies. What man wouldn't, we ask you?

And so, our primary quest finished, we pushed on, searching the Land of Burritos (Las Cruces, NM burrito-serving establishments) for our old friend. Alas, though we searched wherever one would hope to find a Burrito Maestro handing out free burritos to hot chicks, he was not to be found.

But primary failure did not stop us. There were still burritos to be had, and to have our way with. Burritos HOOOOOO! We picked up the pace a bit, embarking on BQ3: Triple Trek! Flipping back and forth, hitting up establishments only open at lunch, frequenting Mesilla burrito-holes, and interspersing them both with palate-cleansing Taco Bell. Did we survive? Yes. The Quest, however, we failed.

And so a new quest begins. Ben, now making his home in the land of vegetarianism, invites Daniel to take a journey through this magical bowel-cleansing realm. Together they set out on a bold new endeavor, to eat burritos of the meatless kind. One vegan, one meatan(?), the walk a lonely road: Twelve Vegetarian Burritos for 2012!
