Very green peppery and cucumbery. Clean and crisp even though it was liquid. I had it and it was good. Very green peppery and cucumbery. Clean and crisp even though it was liquid.

They always give you a spork at the drive-thru. This utensil, with its spoon-like, curved sides, makes it easier to scrape the residual "cheese" and sour cream from the bottom of the styrofoam cup. However, the shorter tines of the spork make it harder to pick up a decent chunk of potato. This can create quite a hazardous situation if you're eating and driving at the same time. Dear d0gc0w,

I think their rice is teh best, and the rest of the burrito ingredients are good. I highly recommend them. Not a lot of options, but good taste. Try the one near AQ though, the new one in Glen Burnout was kinda bland by comarison... -Tom Qdoba owns! I think their rice is teh best, and the rest of the burrito ingredients are good.

When I worked at CompUSA, that's all we'd eat. For like $5, (this was back in 99-00) you'd get a burrito the size of your head. The last time I went was on 4/20 (hah, it's real close to a head shop) and damn, I forgot how tasty that shit was. Qdoba was okay, I only had it once and I don't even recall what was so fancypants about it. All I remember is that it's across the street from the fairgrounds. Then there's Baja. They have decent fish tacos (no, I don't mean *those* kinds) and I remember a friend of mine from AQ got food poisining from eating there, too. Fuckin Frisco pwns.

The things were immense - practically like eating embryos. But you could get sauce so hot you had to sign a disclaimer before they would let you use it. It would blister your skin if you left it on a finger too long. Did you not try this ? And yes the choices were insane. I liked it. Chipolte is ok although they don't know how to cook chicken. Its always so overdone, its like I'm eating jerky so I usually settle for pork. I typically only eat there because they are close to my workplace. Baja Fresh is ok. Never had Frisco Burrito. And you may be disappointed to know that Qdoba is very similar to Baja Fresh. Agree with you on the Taco Bell. Although there is something to say about science being able to reconstitute meat. Amazing. Those cheesy potatoes are disgusting though. How do you eat them ? I ate at Neato Burrito in Harrisburg PA a few years ago. The things were immense – practically like eating embryos.

Hold on. I thought diet coke aka aspartame was at the opposite end of the spectrum as grease, like red and violet on the visible light spectrum. So what you are saying is diet coke DOES NOT cancel out fatty grease ?!?!?!?!?!? Good lord I think we have just solved the obesity problem in the US. Awesome now lets all go out and celebrate with some... nevermind, its too easy. Wait wait wait. Hold on.

I love how people think sometimes. Oh, and the grille sucks, btw in case you didn't already know, but I guess you don't have to worry about it since you're leaving soon. :( dude, it’s just like those fucking assholes who orders like a huge ass disgusting meal from crapdonald’s and then orders a Diet Coke cuz that’ll cancel out all the fast foodie grossness.

]]> Comment on “Is the chemical aftertaste the reason why people eat hot dogs, or is it some kind of bonus?” -Neil Gaiman by d0gc0w http://bangersandmash.wordpress.com/2006/08/15/%e2%80%9cis-the-chemical-aftertaste-the-reason-why-people-eat-hot-dogs-or-is-it-some-kind-of-bonus%e2%80%9d-neil-gaiman/#comment-3 d0gc0w Wed, 16 Aug 2006 12:06:53 +0000 https://bangersandmash.wordpress.com/2006/08/15/%e2%80%9cis-the-chemical-aftertaste-the-reason-why-people-eat-hot-dogs-or-is-it-some-kind-of-bonus%e2%80%9d-neil-gaiman/#comment-3 First of all I don't depend on Microsoft for news and second of all I like the chemical aftertaste and third of all, mutant powers are the bestest powers in the whole world. I've been trying to move things with my mind forever. At least once a day actually. So maybe just maybe if I pile on the 7-11 hotdogs and maybe mix in some Vienna sausages and dip 'em in potted meat, I'll be moving cars with pure mental energy sooner than you think.

I doubt she's a vegetarian so the veggie burger is confusing. Maybe she thinks it makes her a cool 20 something to eat veggie burgers in a cafeteria where she works. Or maybe she's an idiot...
