97 Octane















Mmmmmmmmmm.   Admit it.  You read that with Homer's voice in your head.  If not, go back and read it.

This is the near complete of a Monster on Cayenne.  Steak, chicken, rice, black and refried, mix cheese, veggies, roasted garlic, lettuce, tomato, pic, salsa, guac, cilantro.  Damn fine meal.

This was taken after being told to take it for a TexAgs thread.  You see, they ran a daily drawing last year for a few months, and the winner was given a free burrito.  I did finally win, and decided to brag about my meal as I ate it.  Someone said to take a pic to prove it, so WA-LA!

I remember my first encounter like it was yesterday.  I was a sophomore in high school (10 years ago, dear God, allow me a minute to compose myself).  Ok.  So I was 16.  I was with my sister and her husband, up for final review.  We went to the location on Texas.  I didn't get much then, but as I became an expert it got bigger, up to today's standards.

Many visits since then, most of them to the original on University and the location in Clear Lake.  I have been to 11 locations in all now.  Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

The imitators are just that.  White rice does not belong on a burrito.  That is an Asian thing, which has no place in the burrito subculture.

It was delicious.
