Taco Bell - XXXL Grilled Stuft Burrito: Steak

 Back to Taco Bell, we feel that we may have endangered Triple Trek.  We are apparently correct as this becomes our crowning failure of the BQ3.  Ben is confounded by his attraction to this burrito.  Daniel crows a lot about recording on the road.  Without realizing it we have a discussion about what has been best on BQ3, perhaps wrapping the Trek unknowingly.  Then we make a lot of plans that were never realized, like investigating a possible burrito from Buffalo Wild Wings.

Ingredients: "The XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito is our biggest burrito yet, STUFT full of grilled, marinated steak, a three cheese blend, flavorful seasoned rice, hearty beans, reduced-fat sour cream, chunky guacamole, avocado ranch and fiesta salsa, wrapped up in a warm flour tortilla." 

Ratings:
Ben - King Kong. A big giant ape man climbs up a building.
Daniel - Kickball.  Playing kickball, it's pretty fun.

La Posta - Red Chile con Carne

If our math is correct, this is Burrito Quest's 100th recording!  It is truly a momentous occasion, made more-so by Isaac and Amy joining us.  La Posta, while not quality-wise up to the task is, given their volume of customers, probably a decent choice for our 100th.  It is an old establishment that caters to the tourist crowds by the thousands.  We variously compare the burrito to assembly-line burritos, fund-raising enchilada lunches, and high schools full of buttholes.  Ben tries, in light of Tracy Morgan's recent anti-gay rant, to rationalize his previous comments about the man.  Isaac gets accused of having no friends but burrito friends.  Daniel argues, despite prior audio evidence to the contrary, that he does not, indeed, hate red chile.  Recent blog comments are discussed.  Many thanks to Traci, Nate, and Anonymous for the feedback.  Past burritos, mostly the bad ones, are fondly remembered.  Here's to 100 more!

Ingredients: "Rolled flour tortilla stuffed with...[red] chile con carne. Served with rice and garnish." 

Ratings:
Ben - A flashing yellow light at an intersection; it's kind of interesting but you forget about afterwards.
Daniel - A crappy universal remote control; it does a job, but probably not very well.
Isaac - Sitting on your testicles; it happens, you have to adjust, and it makes you cautious about sitting down the rest of the day.
