What did we do five years ago when there wasn't a burrito place on
every corner? We must have been hungry and we didn't even realize how
pathetic our lives were. Much like back when we would go shopping
without a cup of coffee in our hands, could you imagine doing that
today? Never. Good advertising and marketing told us that we must have
a coffee at all times and that burritos are a must on the menu at least
once a week.
Getting a bit off topic here but really, we are like lemmings. When I
was a kid, you went to Dunkin Donuts for...... donuts and there was one
in town. Now there are four, and we thank the holy cocca bean for that
because if I have to go more than 25 minutes without coffee, we have a
problem. Back to topic at hand - burritos.
You can grab a burrito just about anywhere these days (as stated
above) and the national chains have popped up all over the place, I was
on a Moe's kick for a while but I have rediscovered Chipolte. There is
another chain that you might have overlooked - Hot Harry's, located in
the Hannaford Plaza in East Greenbush. I stopped by the other day and
was enticed to call an audible - I went with the bacon cheeseburger
burrito. How can you combine two great things and not have it turn out
well?. It was good, though I did wish I had gone along with the old
reliable, chicken burrito. There is just something weird about eating
bacon in a burrito. I love bacon, but I believe it does not belong in a
burrito.
All-in-all a solid meal, not too expensive and much better than the
last time I went there. I will give Hot Harry's another try but I'll
leave the bacon to my burgers and potatoes and salads and peanut butter
sandwiches and....
There's one in Newton Plaza in Loudonville as well. I'm not sure how I haven't ended up there yet, since I am equally as obsessed with burritos as you are. I had no idea they have a cheeseburger burrito. Take a wild guess at the next place I'll be going out to eat...
ReplyDeleteWe in Troy were blessed with a local entity called BAD ASS BURRITO which was located on Fifth Avenue in the Burgh. It would probably still be there if not for the outlandish prices and bad attitude of the owner and hiz "cling on's". Just goes to show you that even when you think your crap doesn't stink, your farts will give you away.
