pseydtonne"Rito."
A coworker and I were trying to explain Boloco to Stabby. This is a local burrito chain which doesn't quite fathom Mexican food. It has a honky's concept of what goes on flour flatbread: a prominent entry on the menu is a peanut butter and jelly burrito. It's listed as a snack on their menu, which is on their web site but I'm not giving them the additional advertisement of a hyperlink.
Stabby is Colombian, so I knew he would never want to go to Boloco unless he needed to pick a fight. I tried to explain that it's almost as bad as Qdoba but he had never heard of that either. He's pretty hard core about his Latin American food because he's used to the good stuff. This is why he doesn't even bother looking for it here in Boston and instead focuses on cheeseburgers.
The coworker and I decided we needed a name to describe the honky version of a burrito. It needed to be a short name so that people would be likely to say it.
"Well, we shorten everything," he summarized. We then looked at the ground for a moment.
"Rito!" I said as I smacked a cabinet. "That's it. We're done here."
Tell your friends, spread the word: Tacos Lupita has burritos, Anna's has burritos, but anything below that level is a rito.
