See my quote above. A good SF style burrito has enough other stuff that the rice doesn't stand out.

I only know of three burrito chains in Houston. Chipolte, Freebirds and Bullritos. I'm sure there's more but those are the only three I know of off the top of my head.

Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of other options depending where you are in the country. :(

Today, here in Ottawa, a guy argued with the manager for goodness knows how long that the McFlurries were 2.79 despite a poster saying 2.69. You would've thought they had killed his wife he was so mad.

They just want an excuse to be mad. It's a way to blow off steam.

Working retail would be far more enjoyable if you had the legal right to use a taser on annoying customers.

As a side note, holy crap you don't need a special permit or license of any kind to own a semi-auto assault rifle in Tx? How.. why.. I just don't get it o.o (coming from socialist canadian)

*Stairs at assault rifle case in closet* Nope no permit.

Now a fully automatic one, yes.

The issue is that Chipotle bafflingly uses some sort of lime white rice abomination.

So many Gaffers in San Antonio!!!! Why hello there!

My friend from work said she was behind the guy in the drive thru when this happened. She said she took off and came back like an hour later and the cashier said he was pissed about his order and what not.

TCs is fucken awesome, their bean and cheese are delicious, and so are their nachos lol. Who doesnt go to TC's, WhataBurger, JAck in the Box, or Denny's after the club/bar/partying in San Antonio? Best drunk/high food in SA!!! Or the tink a taco's are good too since they are 24/7 most times (Westside).

I've never even heard of that combo store yet - is that an east coast thing? Only seen Taco Bell/KFC and KFC/A&W combos here in the west.
Click to expand...

There are a couple here in Oklahoma too but oddly they are usually of the Gas variety like a whatever station/taco bell, whatever station/mcdonalds. There are a couple of A&W/Long Johns Silvers, and a KFC/Taco Bell combo even if I remember right. Used to be one at least a few years ago when I lived on that side of town.

If that were the case, the end of the motel standoff would have been much different. If for whatever reason he gave up on the highway shootout, all he needed to do was run out of the room armed and he would have been cut to ribbons.

a 50% price hike is bullshit. While I don't condone his actions, I do support his rage. Too many places get away with that shit.

Except it wasn't a price hike. $.99 was a sale.

Strange coincidences today.

Cranky Jay had it for lunch and I'm finishing my Chipotle dinner while posting right now.

1. Why did the guy go apeshit over $3.50 when obviously the guy has money if he can afford guns and ammunition?

2. How the fuck could the guy eat 7 of these? I've maxed out before at 2 burritos, a gordita, and a meximelt. I felt like shit and stuffed afterwards too.

3. Taco Bell was still playing the 99 cent commercial for this on the radio this morning.

It was so fucking good. As a result I'm buying a case of that smoked chipotle (no company relation) Tobasco sauce.

That stuff is amazing on just about everything. I even got a free bottle of it form the Chipotle I frequent just because I'm there all the time and was bringing it back to work that day instead of eating in.

Because nobody wants to pay an extra 70c for a teaspoon of sour cream or a burrito that's not wrapped correctly and ends up exploding all over?

You guys fail to see the bigger picture.
He bought 7 right? Well, at 99c that would've been 6.93. Now, at 1.49 that's 10.43. That's 3.50. Which, he could've bought 3 more at 99 cent. So basically, he could've paid that amount and gotten 10 instead of 7.

A few more details:

The officers spotted the man near Interstate 410 and Rigsby Avenue, where they pulled him over, Benavides said.

"As soon as they initiated that traffic stop, the suspect jumped out with his assault rifle, and gunshots were exchanged between the suspect and the officers," Benavides said. One of the rounds fired by the man shattered the window of a patrol car, Benavides said.

Officers tracked the man to a Rodeway Inn on W.W. White Road, where police negotiators tried for four hours to convince him to surrender, Benavides said. During the standoff, the man intermittently fired at officers through the window of his motel room, Benavides said.

Okay, I'm a bit confused about the original article. It says that the SWAT team climbed on the roof of the Skyline Food mart. But the photos indicate otherwise.

http://www.urbanspoon.com/u/photo_list/431887?photo_id=248158

Clearly they were on the roof of Radickes Bluebonnet Grill, which actually serves the "original Jalapeno Fried Chicken" the sign indicates. Is the article wrong?!
Click to expand...

I'm sure Skyline food mart was just where the majority of the SWAT team stationed. The SWAT team probably surrounded the area as well and I'm assuming the chicken place was near that food mart

All that fuss over this (times 7)? Really?

Also, his bail was set at $50,000. That's a lot of burritos.

You're not supposed to look at it. You shove it in your mouth, chew it up, and swallow.

This Thursday, when I go for my weekly Taco Bell run, I'll get that burrito and see if it tastes good.
