Author Topic: Brad Miller's Big Burrito Joe Tommassello Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 547 From: Coatesville, PA, USA Registered: Jan 2008 posted 04-07-2009 04:58 PM                  A few years back Brad and a few other of you knuckleheads were talking about this incredible burrito you were getting from a local Mexican restaurant chain. I looked online at the time and there were none around me. Now that I travel occasionally for work and I might be near one I can't for the life of me remember the name of the restaurant. Can anyone help me out?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-07-2009 05:20 PM                  For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that drive thru joint that Brad would telco me, just to chat, while he was killing time waiting in line to order the BIG ONE! Gosh! I felt important! HA!  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-07-2009 05:22 PM                     The restaurant in question is Chipotle. Another great burrito joint (although only 2nd favorite personally) is Freebirds. There is also Planet Burrito and Qdoba, but I don't care for those as much.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-07-2009 06:22 PM                     Brad and Dan personally introduced Beth and I to Freebirds last fall while we were in town. Pretty tastey, and I couldn't even finish mine.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 04-07-2009 06:31 PM                     They are Good. They have Chipotle locations all over NYC. I have two locations 2 blocks from me here.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-07-2009 06:35 PM                     Freebirds World Burrito is really good. One of their newest locations is in Norman, OK just off of the University of Oklahoma campus. I'm hooked on Chipotle's food. The last few times I've visited family and friends in Colorado I've eaten at least once or twice at a Chipotle location while there. There's LOTS of those restaurants in Denver and Colorado Springs. Chipotle finally started building locations in Oklahoma. The first one opened in Edmond off Broadway extension next door to a Starbucks. There's another one in Oklahoma City off Northwest Expressway across the street from Integris Medical Center. That might come in handy if you suffer a heart attack from eating all that steak. At least a handful of other Chipotle locations are planned for the Oklahoma City area. Chipotle beat Freebirds on opening up a location in Stillwater for the Oklahoma State Univ. students.  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-07-2009 06:35 PM                     Deffinatly Freebirds over Chipotle  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-07-2009 06:58 PM                        The Chipotle in Denver is the best one because they have pictures of it hanging in many of the other Chipotles around the country. Our Chipotles have banned any English from being used from the staff.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

And if you haven't tried Qdoba's "Mexican Gumbo", you're totally missing out.  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop!

I have to make do with Qdoba, which is only 70 percent as awesome as Chipotle. Other restaurants I miss from the civilized world, ranked in order of the magnitude by which I crave them: In-N-Out -- Nothing compares. Panda Express Carl's Jr Denny's -- Sometimes I want pancakes at 3:30 AM. Go fig.

Those things taste like (I'll let Redifer insert something funny here) .  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-07-2009 09:09 PM                     It may be another year or two before we get a Chipotle location in Lawton. But this place has some hamburger joints that drop-kick the shit out of the competition, including In and Out Burger (they may have a catchy sign, but so does McDonald's). The Meers Store in the Wichita Mountains is pretty famous for its original blood line Texas Longhorn burgers. Yes, most of the original bloodline of Texas Longhorn cattle actually lives in Oklahoma on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. The Meers Store also serves Buffalo Burgers from time to time. The restaurant looks trashy as hell from the outside. But damn, those burgers are great! Wayne's Drive Inn and Burgess Grill also make excellent hamburgers. They're more particular about where they get their beef than most restaurants. My cousin Tommy lives in Minneapolis. Every time he comes back to Lawton to visit his mother (who is also my Aunt), he does a burger tour. Meers, Wayne's, Burgess and then finally...yeah, Whataburger. Apparently Minneapolis, as great as it is, home of Prince (or whatever he's calling himself these days) has no Whataburger restaurants. Oh well. Hell, I even like Sonic. But what's special about that? There's so many of them here in Lawton that if you blindfolded yourself and then threw a rock you would hit one. Sonic HQ is an hour up I-44 in Bricktown, OKC. Too bad the Seattle Supersonics changed their name to the "Thunder" when they moved to Oklahoma City. Sonic would have bought the naming rights of the Ford Center. BTW, I really HATE the Oklahoma City Thunder logo. Lame as hell.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-07-2009 09:21 PM                        Although I have yet to try In and Out Burger, I bet Denver's own Smashburger destroys it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-07-2009 09:31 PM                     We have Burger Streets down here that make a pretty tasty fast food burger, but they serve caffeine free soda...the nerve of them!!! The best burger around here is probably from Red Robin. I've eaten at a number of them though, and the one in Arlington is definitely the best. There is one on I-10 in Houston near downtown that is pretty blah. I think a lot of it is like the cinema. The average multiplex gets the same quality print and many run the exact same equipment, but the quality of the presentation ranges dramatically from one location to another. It all depends on who is in the kitchen!  |  IP: Logged Claude S.
