May 27: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa (6th Street, Lawrence, Kansas)
stopped off for a burrito on my way back from Topeka today with Scott N., another burrito lover. the burrito was good -- nice to see that it's up to the same par as the College Boulevard location. slightly different crowd though -- not as many professionals, more families and students.
also, they're selling "Rock Guac Jayhawk" t-shirts there. Scott N. is going to buy one next time he's in Lawrence, apparently.

May 24: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
along with Heidi S., Toby C., and Jerrod W., accompanying me on my burrito trek today was Chad B., a first-time Chipotle eater. after Toby C. refused to fax our order in (forcing us to wait 20 minutes in line -- a pittance, of course, as i would gladly wait hours for the burrito-y goodness of Chipotle) (which Toby spells "Chipolte" and pronounces similarly), we settled down to watch Chad's response. he liked it.
also, the Artistic Manager has apparently been following the blog. hi! how are we doing? the chips could use a little more salt (isn't that what every overweight American like me needs? more salt?) but otherwise the burritos recently have been well above par. thanks a million.
meanwhile, in other news, two grey foxes were spotted near Somerset and Roe on Friday night.

May 21: chicken, rice, hot salsa (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
we walked to lunch today at about noon. Matt W. faxed our order in, which was great, as we timed the place in line from when we walked in. it would have taken us 20 minutes just to get our orders in!
the downside to faxing is that i don't ask for half chicken, half steak or extra rice, as is my wont. that's not to say that i couldn't; it's just that, without me to oversee the assembly of my beautiful burrito, i'd be concerned about potential errors. plus, there's nowhere on the fax form to write "i'm very picky, so here's how i want it."

after several burritos without a blog entry, several loyal Burritoman readers have questioned my continuing dedication to my quest. rest assured i intend to complete my 150 burritos
May 17: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa, chips (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
the Artistic Manager bought this one for me as i waited patiently in line behind a guy who ordered fourteen burritos. they were all exactly the same: chicken, black beans, rice, sour cream, and cheese. i wonder if he's like Ozzy, who brings 'em home and refrigerates them.
thanks for the freebie!
May 18: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa, chips (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
on Tuesday, i decided to add Tabasco® Chipotle sauce to my burrito as well as additional hot salsa delivered by way of chip. i figured the extra kick would be appropriate in honor of the 24th anniversary of the fiery eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
May 19: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
not much to report here, except that today -- unlike Tuesday -- Toby C. managed not to laugh at something unrelated at the exact time the Artistic Manager sprayed herself down with lime juice, then looked up at him and thought he was laughing at her.
now that was comedy.

May 14: chicken, rice, hot salsa, and three nasty little black beans (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
i have been stuck for a good portion of the day on a Tenth Circuit mediation conference call, so fellow burrito addicts Jerrod W. and Matt W. picked up a burrito for me. i was displeased to find three black beans in the rice section of the burrito. both Jerrod and Matt know i hate beans. were these dripped into the burrito by an anxious burritomaker? did Jerrod or Matt plant them surreptitiously? did they think i would not notice? oh, trust me: i noticed. yes, i noticed. and i am displeased.

sadly, i was feeling ill when i purchased this burrito. i dragged it back to my office, ate it, and then went home sick. today, i'm feeling much better. i think the medicinal qualities of a Chipotle burrito -- or perhaps just the hot salsa -- are underrated.

the burrito was absolutely outstanding. the steak was as juicy as it has ever been and i added a bit of salt to keep things tasty.
nice touch today: the manager showed off her artistic skills by drawing a chicken and a cow on the foil covering of my burrito. very clever and a nice touch. much appreciated!

in my experience, this is typical of Michael Moore. this, in addition to the lies that have been documented in his works!
what he really needs is a blog about what he eats on a daily basis.

May 6: chicken, extra rice, hot salsa, chips (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
i am here to tell you, i've discovered the ultimate way to eat a Chipotle burrito. because i had to run home to get my air conditioner repaired, Jerrod W. bought my burrito and brought it back to the office, where he put it in the refrigerator. it was there for about an hour. and when i ate it -- without reheating -- it was spectacular. it was lukewarm at best, and the juices had merged and then slowly congealed. probably one of the best burritos i have ever eaten.
forget piping hot; we want our burritos at room temperature!
