Guacamole Upgrade

Coincidentally, just days after commenting how impressed I was by Chipotle's guacamole (mainly because it had a nice kick to it), the manager at my local Baja Fresh invited me to give some feedback on their new recipe -- apparently they are the only store testing a new supplier of avocados from Mexico. It was fresh enough, but I don't expect Baja will have the balls to add jalapenos to the recipe, and it could use a dash more lime and garlic in the mix. In any case, I was happy to provide my feedback and will keep you updated on who has the best guac in the biz. For now the best recipe can still be found at my house. ;)

Unfaithfully Yours

Dear Baja,

I ate at Chipotle today. There, I said it.

I'm sorry, but it was bound to happen. After all, she's more conveniently located, sitting there all shiny and new and everybody talking about her free burrito promos, beer and whatnot.

For what it's worth, she's not half the burrito you are. I mean, sure the appearance of control calling my own ingredients sounds good, but it's quite a bit of extra effort having to make all those decisions. Besides, who wants to see all those tubs of meat, watered down sour cream and come face-to-face with their creator as she fumbles my tortilla? Not I. The corn and fresh fajita peppers are ok, but a buck sixty extra to add guac? C'mon! No thanks.

Her guacamole may taste a little better, but you've still got the best chips around (and thankfully you don't charge extra for them!). And salsa? She's got none! Nothing, nada, zip - no salsa bar! No kidding! Sheesh!

I love your after-taste and your quality, I don't care what anybody says. Chipotle ain't got any buzz on you baby. I hope you will forgive me, as I was really only conducting "research" I hope will help make us stronger.

Love,
BB1
