Burrito Envy

I have been craving a burrito for weeks. My friend Caitlyn goes to Chipotle for a burrito nearly every day for lunch (between 10 and 11 AM Eastern, or around when I’m leaving for the lab), leaving me with burrito foodlust and a packed turkey sandwich for my own noonday meal. This was heightened when the Producteev crew (Judi, Mark, Farhana, and Tushar) had a burrito lunch in the office and bragged about it all over Twitter.

Since then my unslaked desire for meat, rice, and vegetables wrapped in a tortilla has been a bit of a running joke amongst many of my online buddies. They decided I needed to make a video of myself eating a burrito when I finally had one, but that day did not come. After a while it had built up to the point that I couldn’t eat just any burrito, it had to be a fantastic one. I started passing up burrito opportunities so I could hold out for a burrito worthy of the event.

This week, Rachel and I went to Chipotle at last. I got a chicken burrito with rice, black beans, onions, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and hot salsa. You know it’s going to be good when they can barely keep the tortilla closed.

That burrito tasted incredible.
