2009 Resolution: No More Burritos

I'm not wild about New Year's resolutions. For each one that sticks, there are a dozen that fade away as old habits persist. That's why I'm only making a single resolution this year.

I am going to stop eating burritos.

You know the felons I'm talking about: wrapped in foil, available everywhere, about the size of a baby. In Boulder alone, you can find them at Qdoba (2 locations), Chipotle (2 locations), Illegal Pete's (2 locations) and Big City Burrito (1 location). (Yes, burritos are available at just about every Mexican restaurant, but I'm talking about the baby-size, fast food variety.)

I eat burritos all the time. It's my go-to food source when I'm hungry. Being Latino probably has something to do with it (lol!), but it's a habit that I need to break. Not solely for dietary reasons, but because there has to be something else to eat.

I have met burrito people. I want to meet pita people. Or pancake people. Or pasta people.

In 2009, I want to explore other eating options and discover the breadth of America as it relates to fast-casual dining.
