Revenge?

Chief?

― kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

OK that last one makes no sense.

THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUSLY BURRITO!!! THE WAY I MAKE THEM THEY'RE MORE LIKE BURROS THOUGH.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

'el burro gigante'! I haven't mastered the art of not filling the tortilla to the point of not being able to close properly.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:21 (twenty years ago)

Why, because they taste like ass? HO HO HO HO HO!!!

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:22 (twenty years ago)

El burrazo!

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:23 (twenty years ago)

Nick, just when I was going to ask you over for a dinner party too :(

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

Oh no! I could have brought some SUUUUUPER NACHOS!

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

Well, despite the loss of SUUUUUUPER NACHOS, it does mean more margaritas...for me!

Admission time: I once lived in a CO-OP in Berkeley called, get this, CASA ZIMBABWE - the decor was very gorillas-with-credit-cards. Anyway, the person whose duty it was to cook wasn't around by 7, so I saved dinner by doing a gigantic burrito bar by myself for like 70 people. I had like 25 pounds of beef cooking and I shaped it into the USA and invited people into the kitchen.

am NOT arguing about burritos on the internet.

Spencer, you do realize what a shocking admission that is?

haha OMG Spencer no wonder you hate the Bay Area! Did you ever go to Burning Man?

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

Dude, it was like $1100 for the whole semester! I got out of there pretty quick though.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

Haha, "Casa Z" wasn't actually that bad. I will never ever go to burning man, ever.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

I must find this Casa

― I'd still rather be in Tokyo (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

I'm still trying to figure out what "gorillas with credit cards" means.

is it just me or does everyone in the Bay Area hate Burning Man now?

(Chateau Co-Op show we played w/Stratford 4 was one of my favorite shows ever. The fire dept came TWICE)

When I was there, Cloyne was known for DMT availability (never tried it) and Chateau was known for a TB outbreak.

Your Berkeley is so different from my Berkeley.

I've never even really been on the campus!

― I'd still rather be in Tokyo (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

South/West B-Town is my turf. It's real down here!

― I'd still rather be in Tokyo (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

I'm down with the Southside. Lived on Blake and also Dwight, worked in E-ville. word.

My Super Burrito, pictured above, came from Juan's Place in Berkeley.

― I'd still rather be in Tokyo (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Close to Campus, cross-street Fulton. Not strictly West-sizzle, but I know the area.

General comments:

I've had carne guisada tacos before with rice in them, so rice is totally ok inside tortillas.

(Though they did look askance at me when I ordered them that way. Eh. They's tasty.)

I don't know very many Mexican/Tex-Mex places here that have burritos on the menu, but the most authentic-tasting "Mexican" national chain restaurant actually makes its trade on burritos. That would be Chipotle Grill. Chipotle has THE MOST AUTHENTIC-tasting food I've ever had from a chain that can be found outside a specific region of the country, even though their tortilla was a bit chewy. Regular flour tortillas purchased at a molino are light, pillowy, and soft. And bad for you too, sure, but oh they taste so good.

Last Mexican food I had: Two potato & egg tacos on corn tortillas for breakfast Sunday. I think. Yeah. The corn tortillas were mercifully homemade, so they were deliciously thick and hearty. Not like the stuff you get from a package at your local McMart, though those are good for home use & for making migas or chilaquiles.

Oh! And correction time -- enchiladas aren't supposed to have meat in them unless they specifically mention they've got meat. Enchiladas are supposed to be filled with cheese. That's it. And the best enchiladas have just a rich chili powder-based sauce on top, not actual chili. Though if that's what the restaurant wants to do... eh.

most of the mex places here do, except for the more high-end restaurants that specialize in seafood.

Oh yes. The AZ/TX divide. It's probably all in how the Mexican immigrants from the two states came from different parts of Mexico. Which is why CA Mexican food tasted very weird to me when I first had it (which is putting it lightly), and why I suspect NM Mexican food would taste more familiar to me.

Most of these local places, BTW, have a special section in their menus for nachos, though they're not the type with the fakey orange melted cheese-type topping (which I do like, actually). Most of these variations of nachos also include beans, BTW. I don't know why; that's just how things are, apparently. Hm.

There were some good burritos to be had in Redding — grilled chicken and roasted green chili at Senor Rosas, and spicy shrimp at La Cabana. Nothing here that I don't make myself.

― huell howser (chaki), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:25 (twenty years ago)

on troubled days such as these, only burritos will provide us enough solace or surcease of sorrow
