OT: 95th Obsequious Banter Thread: Where 88 reigns as MVP (Adventure Cont., post #277)

Every once in a while, I get the craving for a burrito bowl, and I have to convince myself Chipotle will be better than the last time. It never is. It sucks.

I only went there once and had no desire to ever go back. I'd rather set my money on fire. If zero dollars could burn, I would set them on fire right now just thinking about it.

 

[Embiid]

I thought it was better when it first was in operation and before all the food poisoning episodes. It has sucked ever since.

 

[Hurricane28]

Pancheros is the best imo. It is a more local chain though.

Moe's and Qdoba are miles better than Chipotle.

But if you actually want a good bowl, El Diablo in Newark, DE was the spot. Would eat there once a week in college

 

[Appleyard]

I cant eat at Mexican places in general. Most suck. (though guess not the case in US aha... especially south and south west.)

Better just to make it at home. It is so cheap to do in general too. Even though have to order in Tomatillo's, Epazote and Chipotle in adobo in special from online.

Tbf though I reckon like 7 of my 14 meals a week are Mexican/Tex Mex lmao.

There has been:

1x good Burrito place (Pancho's in Manchester)
1x good general Mexican (3 Amigo's in Lisbon)

that have been "good" I have ever been to. Both actually ran by Mexicans though.

"Mexican" food in Europe is generally horrific.

Tex Mex is great at home because you can make 4-6 meals out of it. You can make it healthy. And it just tastes good in general.

My weekly diet is like 50%:

Bruch/lunch:

Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Ahogados
Chilaquiles
Veggies breakfast burrito
Torta (avocado and scrambled egg is my fave)
Torta Ahogada

Dinner:

Enchiladas
Chili
Tinga-tinga
Quesadilla
Soft tacos

+ Chilaquiles, Huevos Rancheros and Huevos Ahogados which are fine dinner foods...

Plus I made my own brunch dish inspired by the cuisine. Huevos Sofocaros lmao.
Similar to Ahogados but with a thicker sauce with black beans and chipotle.

Occasionally do Huevos divorciados too aha.

And yeh, can re-use mixes for different dishes... and alter them with a few spice adds or an extra ingredient or so.

Such a good cuisine for veggie dishes too. As proteins from so many other, very tasty, sources.
And very cheap in general to make if have well stocked, specific, herb and spice cupboard.

has anyone watched 1883 or what ever it is

I’m really loving it. It’s the prequel to Yellowstone, same writers and as compelling. Only 4 episodes available so far.

 

[Runner77]

I'm going to eventually. I downloaded about 45 GB worth of "Justified" today, so that should keep me busy for awhile, since I also have to finish off "Singles Inferno."

I’m hopping back on Goliath but since it’s been too long since I’ve watched the first two seasons, I’m thinking of restarting it. Four seasons to get through. Has anyone watched?

And now that Justified has received so much positive feedback on here, I’m going to give it a shot after I’m through with Goliath.

 

[Runner77]

Saw the video. How quick they went from bloodthirsty to cowed and begging for their life.
The mindset of some people can be truly amazing. I don’t care about you or your life but please please care for mine.

I just viewed that and the begging for mercy was chilling as shots fired. The robbers were from 17 to early 20s. One was shot dead, a second is in critical condition and a 3rd fled.

 

[Runner77]

Ray Donovan’s series finale came in the form of a movie released yesterday. Another one on my list.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wonder what the weather’s like in Portugal right now…

Just wrong on so many levels. Although I do feel like chipotle has gone down hill as of late. A good Chipotle doesn't compare to those two though.

I recently had California tortilla for the first time. That was pretty solid.

Make sure you keep your windows closed when it's 20 degrees out feeling like 0

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Encanto slaps.

 

[Rebels57]

Encanto slaps.

Having a 5 year old daughter, my household has watched it like 10 times probably. Them Lin Manuel songs do slap tho.

 

[Embiid]

Holy crap!

My dad retired as of January 1st. I made sure his final act as GM was to rid the lot of illegally parked cars. You're welcome.
