Santa Fe Grill - Bean Burrito Repeat

13y ago

—

Issac joins us for the finale of Veggie Trek. We repeat another previously failed burro to round things out. Santa Fe Grill comes through in spades, with a veggie burrito that even Daniel would get again; good consistency and flavor but for a few undercooked potatoes. As this Trek rounds out we, perhaps inevitably, turn our collective mind to the f…

Andele - Build Your Own Burrito Take Two

13y ago

—

Andele boned us last time, this time we take it back! We refine the ingredients for their Build-Your-Own burro and the results suffer improvement of a sort. Onions, you're out, as is your overwhelming flavor. The burrito is somewhat dry, and their omission of side-salsa does not help. The overall flavor is good though. We supplement, after an appro…

Taco Bell - Veggie Cantina Burrito

13y ago

—

Taco Bell, your bell has been rung for the last time. At least the last time during Veggie Trek. The previous excursion for this particular burro ended in failure, due to fowl incursion into what was supposed to be a strictly vegetarian affair. This burrito rings 'veggie true' if not completely 'tasty true.' A mushy melange of ingredients that tast…

Andele - Build Your Own Burrito

13y ago

—

The Quest is in trouble. Andele is, a tasty establishment that we have visited in the past, serves us up another crushing defeat in our Veggie Trek. Daniel actually does some footwork ahead of time to figure out what ingredients they offer that meet our stringent veggie requirements for building-our-own burritos. Then Ben finds a tiny sliver of mea…

Taco Bell - Black Bean Burrito

13+ y ago

—

Taco Bell gets a chance to redeem its previous meat-filled disaster. And redeem it does. Once again, corporate chemistry brings flavor and consistency to the veggie trek. We do manage to slightly confuse the name of this one with the one of their cheesier burritos, but the end result is vegetarian and delicious. We also get some of Taco Bell's new …

Currito - Bankok Tofu

13+ y ago

Not content to geek out strictly in the gaming direction, we also satisfy our burrito nerdery whist at GenCon. More than one firsts in this episode: first mall food court burrito, first tofu and/or Asian-inspired burrito, first time questing together outside of Las Cruces. Currito is self-styled "Burritos without Borders." Not sure what that means,…

The Shed - Migas Burrito

13+ y ago

We get the band back together! Isaac is in town (also, Jenni) for a busy weekend, so we opt for a brunch burrito. The Shed (formerly Old Mesilla Pastry Cafe) is a breakfast/lunch place with a dish called Migas, basically a bunch of veggies mixed with egg. They graciously threw the dish into a burrito for us, minus the cheese, but smothered in green…

Taco Bell - Chicken Cantina Burrito

13+ y ago

—

Those shits at Taco Bell screw us! We order Veggie Cantina Burritos and they give us the chicken version. We eat it anyway. We are joined by Alex and Nathan for a Burrito foursome. Ben searches his vegetarian soul and decides throwing the burro away is worse than eating it. His concessions are legion this episode. Nathan, long-time-fan-bq-virgin, h…

Santa Fe Grill - Bean Burrito

13+ y ago

—

Santa Fe Grill… Not much we can say that hasn't already been said. Vegetarians have options here, some X number of combinations that can be made from several veggie ingredients. We discuss Taco Bell's likely stringent IP policies. Amy doubles down on her contempt for vegetarianism by drinking her beverage after a fly had flavored it. Daniel worries…

Taco Bell - Fresca Bean Burrito w/Potatoes and Rice

13+ y ago

—

In this episode we order Taco Bell like rock stars. Not content with yet another bean burrito, we have them add potatoes and rice. The burrito stands up, not only to other vegetarian burritos, but also to other burritos from Taco Bell. Daniel touts his good ideas, like ordering Fresca-style. He also takes credit for, and poo-poos, Isaac's great ide…
