Woke up perfectly on time and got into Manhattan early. Early enough to pick up Egg McMuffins (the breakfast food God would eat if he ate breakfast) for me and the coworkers. Looks like I pulled a Homer.
Oh and despite the fact that the Egg McMuffins contain a slice of Canadian Bacon (or ham as we call it in the States) this food was a BREAKFAST food. Lunch is the focus of this month, meats for all other meals are free game. Plus breakfast at McDs is an automatic McMuffin.
Chicken 13: Burrito
Curious by the large burritos we saw when purchasing food from the South Street Seaport, we returned today to actually check it out. The Chipolte that is right next door to us was always good for a Tex-Mex affair, but it was decided to try new locals today.
So my chicken partner in crime and I head to the seaport food court and head to the Tobasco Grill. Burritos prominently displayed in from looking good with a sign setting a price for a burrito, chips and salsa at... $4.99? What seriously? Five bucks for a meal from the seaport? Everything there is overpriced. Maybe the burritos are smaller than advertised.
So we orders up and get it to go. I keep it simple, ordering the first thing on the list, a grilled chicken burrito. Watching others pick up their burritos before us, it seems like the burritos were as thick as the display models. Ours arrive, we head out. I notice that the container has a good heft to it, giving me high hopes.
Returning to the office, I open up the box and a split burrito, chips and pico de gallo. The burrito contained rice, black beans and chicken all contained in the tortilla. A very small plastic container housed a little salsa for the chips. Still impressed by the deal, I dig in.
Chicken was grilled properly, kept juicy, and pretty good. I would have wanted it to be a little more singed, but really no complaints. Black beans were black beans, and worked well. I don't know what people have against beans, and I sure didn't rip anything foul that caused any other objections. Rice is rice. Pico de gallo and salsa both tasted good, and scooping them up with the chips worked out well. Pico de gallo definitely tasted fresh, a good sign considering it was purchased in a food court.
A great victory today. The discovery of cheap burritos greatly adds to the depth of food choices at work now, especially being that they cost as much as a footlong from Subways.
Oh and unfortunately the burrito my chicken copilot ordered up contained bacon! Breaker of rules! He's gotta finish up this chicken month and start again with another month of chicken now! The damn cheater!
