Thoughts On Early Birds

Anna's MIT opens at 7am. I like a big breakfast and a nice walk on a sunny day.

The early bird gets the worm.

Sometimes though, the early bird gets pooped on by another bird, the kind with wings an no concern for humans below. Then the early bird has to go back home to shower.

I heard it's good luck to get bombed with bird dung. I disagree. I think it's just something people say to make themselves feel better about getting pooped on.

Good thing Anna's is open for lunch.

El Goldo Gets A Quesadilla

There's not much to be said about this photo from Anna's MIT. That is El Goldo, dining adventurer. Lengua quesadilla in hand.

Anna's Taqueria Adds Lengua To The Menu

I'm way late to the dance on this one, but I assure you it's not a distance between me and witnessing burrito news. It's the distance between me and reporting burrito news. It's a time and motivation problem, related to an influx of work and sunshine.

I'm working on it.

The first time I ever had lengua, which is boiled beef tongue, was at Tacos Lupita, near the very beginning of Burrito Blog. At the time, the textural authenticity was a bit much to take. I grew into it a couple meals later.

Anna's lengua is cut small, as seen in the photo above. It's gringo friendly. Give it a try.

But We Can Still Be Friends

Since my falling out with Chipotle and the harsh words on their caloric frequency distribution, we haven't spoke or spent any time together. It was time for some reconciliation.

I went to Harvard Square early one Sunday to break the ice. It was tense. A bit awkward. Chipotle and I were never that serious together back in college anyway. I don't know why I still care.

I ordered a carnitas burrito with rice, refried beans, mild and verde salsa, cheese and guacamole. It was the same Chipotle I remember. Nothing changed.

Chipotle, your lackluster wrap, poor ingredient distribution, and half melted cheese are just not what I need in a burrito relationship. There are plenty other customers out there that are perfect for you, and I do hope you will be happy with them. But we can still be friends.

This Chipotle meal was rated: 4.1.
