Today I made an uplanned stop at Rick's Drive In and Out and decided to get a burrito for lunch. I had no idea the thing would be mosterous but I won't lie- I wasn't upset that it was. I was only mildly embarassed that my coworker caught me eating it, seemingly with no intention of stopping half way and every intention of being ridiculously messy with the salsa (napkins used = too many to count). Now I'm left with a borderline uncomfortably full belly and the extreme desire to nap. But aside from the deliciousness I inhaled, one other good thing came out of this. I think I may have discovered a place with a bean and cheese burrito as good as the ones at Benito's. Considering I had roughly one every weekend during the time I lived less than half a block away, I think it's fair to say I...love...Benito's. And it tastes even better at 4 in the morning. But after my mid-day Rick's experience I have only one choice- to institute my own Great Burrito Challenge. Rick vs Benito. Bean and cheese vs bean and cheese. Most of all it comes down to the hot sauce- both hot enough to almost verge on painful (for me at least) but not so hot as to not enjoy it. The very definition of "hurts so good." It's the perfect balance, in this girls opinion. So there you go, a random lunch turned into a personal food challenge. Who knew I would have such a productive Monday?
***it should be noted that this challenge will probably never happen but a girl can dream, can't she?
