let me take this opportunity to compliment Chipotle on its chips. all loyal readers will remember that i have frequently commented on the freshness and saltiness of the chips. well, in recent days and weeks, they've been great! just the right amount of salt and always fresh.

on Sunday, a post-soccer burrito was the perfect fix after running around full speed for an hour. plus, the chicken was really good and the rice was very moist.
that said, it was a little odd being served by a large guy with muscular arms who was wearing a "chipotle girl" t-shirt. seriously.

today's was a bi-partisan burrito.
seems like a good time to inject a bit of politics here: i'm pleased that Kerry conceded to Bush, rather than fighting on for days or weeks or even a couple of months. i think it was the honorable, gentlemanly thing to do under the circumstances.

had my free election day burrito. excellent burrito today -- very moist rice. also, the chips were perfect as well -- not stale, plenty of salt (but not too much).
the hot salsa was great, too, although it should only contribute to the ulcer i'm developing about this election.

where, o where do i begin? first of all, let me say that i wish i had more hot salsa on my burrito today. it would have helped spice up the rice, which was a little dry. but for the most part, i was pretty pleased with the overall burrito experience today.
next, the Slow Cashier was back today.Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879089122048611273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325173.post-1091719820281612632004-08-05T10:28:00.000-05:002004-08-05T11:17:21.923-05:00August 4: 1/2 chicken, 1/2 steak, extra rice, hot salsa, chips (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
first of all, many congratulations to the arena supporters. Burritoman reader Vince G. was a very vocal activist in favor of the new Kansas City arena project. good job, Vince -- your work can only have helped get this passed.

had to take today's back to the office... it's too darn hot to be out if you don't have to be.

today's chips were much better.

i'm back from a quick vacation. i was hoping to have a burrito while i was gone but it didn't work out. i picked this one up on the way back from the airport, snarfed it down, and tackled the huge pile waiting for me upon my return...

it's hotter than billy hell outside. so how best to stay cool? eat hot salsa and "salivate and sweat at the same time," as the t-shirts say.
Matt W. and i went to Chipotle for a quick burrito. mine was pretty good today, although the hot salsa was a bit sharper today than i think it Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06879089122048611273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325173.post-1089400647727667472004-07-09T14:13:00.000-05:002004-07-09T15:06:57.663-05:00July 9: chicken, extra rice (College Boulevard, Overland Park, Kansas)
today's burrito was disappointing. i faxed our order in and forgot to ask for hot salsa, so i used Tabasco® brand Chipotle sauce in its stead. the Tabasco® is good, but it's no hot salsa.

gotta get that "on track to eat" number back up... a week away is a killer! this one was a freebie, too. i'm pretty sure i've said it before on the blog, but the best burrito is a free burrito.

Eric M. and i went without faxing at 12:30 pm. probably a mistake, as we had to wait quite a while. but i was able to cash in one of my freebies, which was nice.

pathetic, really: well over a week without a burrito. what's the world coming to? i grabbed this one for dinner around 4:30 pm -- i was still hungry after a light lunch at the office. it was, as usual, heavenly.

it's pouring down rain today and i'm stuck at the office, preparing for trial. it's my first jury trial. i'm excited and scared -- exhilarated and terrified at the same time.

is it possible that i've not had a burrito in a week? it is. i haven't even been there -- someone else picked it up for me. i've been in frantic trial prep mode for the past week and a half and i haven't had time even to go get some burrito-y goodness.

probably the last burrito for the week (sigh). i'll be in Topeka tomorrow; unless i burrito up in Lawrence on the way home, i guess this is it for the week. i'm pretty pleased with the pace. looks like i can coast just a little; two weeks left in June and i'm already over halfway there.

halfway there.
Sarah Q. and i trundled in for this monumental burrito and enjoyed a particularly juicy bit of rice and chicken. plus, the steak was very spicy today. i also added a little salt here and there to liven things up. it really hit the spot.
